This is about a couple of wonderful blogs (and of course, the people behind them) I came across recently –
The first is Eileen’s All over the map. She lives in Delhi and currently has a very interesting A – Z on Delhi going on at her blog. She has reached G now, starting with guns and guards, through galis and gobar, and now on gurdwaras and gardens… And she has superb and relevant photographs on many of her posts…
Very charming blog – do check it out… And this is Eileen on flickr…
The other, and very special blog is written by someone I just met on flickr – Julie 70. The 70 is on her flickr name as well as blog – that is her age… Her blog Julie 70 is in french, but I just had to mention it here.
Her photoblog on flickr, aptly called joy of life surely needs no language skills…
Julie on herself on flickr – I just passed my 70th birthday, but life is beautiful and so much to do and to learn still. Writing diary for 60 years, making photos only recently. I assisted micro-computing revolution from inside, and now… discovered blogging.
When I mentioned to her that I am from India, this is what she wrote to me… When I was young (that was longtime ago) I have seen a beautifull unforgottable indian film, made me dream and also my heart hurt because of the powerty and the womens not right that was despicted and had beautifull song and a child actor in it. But I do not remember any more the names.
Way to go, Julie! Most of us can learn lessons from her on life and living…
Thanks for writing about me, and do come to read if you know french, or look at my pics on flickr if not. I just went back to my birthtown, in Rumania now, Cluj, hungarian name Kolozsvà r, wich is in the Transylvanian province and made lots of photos about there.
Thanks so much Charu. I also enjoy your blog.
nice urls…..
thanks….
take care….
Rumania?
I’m reminded of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car.
And Nicolae Ceausescu too!
Hi charu and Eileen.. I am blog-rolling u ppl.
Well, I’m definitely gonna visit the blogs u suggested, n yes u have a knack of puttin forth u’r point in a subtle yet firm manner…good goin
about your article on abuses on women..I agree the male psyche’ , especially in conservative closed -doors society like india needs to change….but yes not everybody guy u met needs to be eyed as a psychotic egomaniacal sexual predator
the psyche’ is chaning…bel me..
The sexual urge is not the monopoly of the male. In fact, it is more pronounced in the female. Nature has made it that way. You may read “The Naked Ape” by Desmond Morris to have a peep into the complex thought mosaic of the eves of the species! 🙂
Julie and eye spy, my pleasure 🙂
