• Mumbai Diaries: Scattered Thoughts

  

  I’m feeling a little stuck. While I continue to write and share my writing with the world, I’m not sure what next? I’m not sure where do I go from here? I’m feeling a little swamped. Maybe more than a little. The weather has nothing to do with how I feel. I’ve never been one…
