Hi, I’m Barbara! I live in India. In India, my friends call me Bharati. I shifted my life to India in November 2001 because I wanted to focus more on meditation and writing. I also enjoy listening to Indian classical music and reciting Sanskrit. I live a simple peaceful life. Writing blogs is a precious opportunity for me to share my thoughts and feelings with the world. “The world is my family” is an ancient Indian proverb. If you want to post any comments about my blogs, I would love to hear from you!
Best wishes
Barbara
