At the beginning of the year, I participated in the Scholastic Writers Academy Program.
We came out with an anthology.
My essay was featured in Body Talk
I met up with college friends in Chennai after a long time. My friend Nivi gifted me a copy of my book from NJ.
My cousin Rajesh and his wife dropped in. Rajesh gifted me a copy of my book from New Jersey.
In March, I went to my cardiologist for a check-up.
I popped up in a #NYTReadalong
A reprint of one of my stories appears here.
My poem appears in this anthology
Here’s a guest post from Maithili Iyer – the first guest post by someone other than my mom and dad on this blog:)
I attended the 75th birthday celebrations of Chitra Vishveshwaran and watched Panchaliyin Shabatham by Shalini Anand and troupe. I met my high-school friend after 20 years.
More of my work was featured here, there and everywhere. I reviewed books throughout the year.
A month more to the close of 2025.

It sounds like a really fulfilling year – getting featured in an anthology and reconnecting with friends is wonderful. I found some interesting perspectives on personal growth while browsing https://tinyfun.io/game/whos-at-the-door-online, which made me think of your experiences.
Thank you!
