Mariellen – I love your blog! I love all your musings about India! I am a vacation planner by profession with India as one of the destinations I specialize in. Despite being a native of India, I feel you have expressed the details that I find it hard to sometimes prepare my clients with. Here on out I will be sending your link to my clients going to India.
I don’t see much of a mention for South India – are you still in the process of discovering that area? I myself am from there and would love for you to discover that region as well. I think it’s dramatically different then the North.
Thanks for your blog and discovering India and also for sharing!

Hello Mariellen! I met you during the Toronto Travel Tribe meeting which, serendipitously, was being held the night of my photography exhibit opening reception at the Rivoli! I would love to travel to India, and I find you blog very inspiring! I am now following you on Twitter, and hope to attend the future meetings!

Thank you,

Mariellen – just found your blog and am so happy I did. I loved your spirit and love for India captured through your writings and photographs. I could feel much in common between us and hence had to connect by leaving this comment. I love photography too and love traveling.
Saw your Holi photo of the ashram in Rishikesh. Would like to know which ashram this is. Also, what do you think of Rishikesh as a place. I have been thinking of making it my summer retreat…
Hugs…

Just stumbled onto your blog! I love your article,”change is a process, not destination”-so inspiring. I have always wanted to go to Indian and study yoga-and I WILL someday. I am currently traveling the US and going after my dream to be a travel writer-Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I’m also really happy I discovered your blog. Your story is similar to mine in many ways. I came to India after some personal losses, except I’m still here over 5 years later (and I married an Indian guy as well). I also write about India travel — I look after About.com’s India travel website (part of the New York Times) and I’ve written a book about my transformational India experience (but it’s not due to be published until later this year). India has had an amazing affect on me… hard to believe I used to be a very bored accountant. Anyway, I wish you well on your adventures. Can’t wait to read more of your blog. Best wishes.

Good morning Mariellen,
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at Meet Plan Go on Monday evening. I own a small literary travel company, Classical Pursuits. We are going to North India this winter, where we will read and discuss Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Edward Luce’s In Spite of the Gods: The Strange Rise of Modern India, and some classical poetry. I would like to create a blog post with a link to your site and to include some of your fabulous photos (with attribution, of course). I am writing to ask your permission to use some photos, to welcome your feedback on our itinerary, and to ask if there is a way I can list our trip on your website. Here is the url. http://www.classicalpursuits.com/learning-vacations-2012/india-learning-vacation.php
Namaste,
Ann

Mariellen,
First of all, you are beautiful
And your writings are equally beautiful and capture India experience very differently.
I hope you like it and also hope you make it to Kolkata on your next visit to India so that we could meet over a cup of coffee.
Manas

Thanks Manas. I would like to spend more time in Kolkata. Bengali culture is so rich. Perhaps we will meet one day.
