Sweet inspiration.
OH WOW, it’s amazing how time flies by when your life is suddenly filled with so much joy and beauty and laughter… Tulsi is 5 months old already and doing amazing! We are still in a constant state of awe watching her grow. She is as sweet as her name and the scent of Tulsi flowers. We celebrated Bhandara with her at the Hanuman Temple recently, and she wore her first jeweled bindi. Sigh.
So, as you may have noticed, our chai pilgrimage blog has been on hiatus during these precious first months, but soon, we will be back blogging and finishing our book (which will have a 2010 release date instead of 2009).
Winter is the perfect time for such a project, all nestled up in our cozy mountain home sipping chai and creating all day! Patrick has already begun teaching Tulsi the art of making chai. Perhaps when she can stand on her own … and reach the counter. Also, I’m in the midst of finishing my next children’s book, Same, Same but Different, inspired by our travels in Nepal and India. It will be published by Henry Holt.
So there you have it — TWO books inspired by India’s beauty that you can look forward to! Stay tuned, and REMEMBER to sign up for our mailing list to the right so you’ll know when and where you can purchase them.
Proud to be an Indian!

Tulsi Is beautiful! I found your blog through the recent post by seth grodin on chai wallah. Your site and travels are inspirational! As an amercian born east Indian, I am relearning to capture my roots, ans seeing all your pictures of India has me nostaligic. I love that you are raising your daughter in your travels. I look forward to more of your words and pictures! If and when I can, I will see if I can get my dad’s tea recipe-his is the best I have tasted so far!!
