About Me
- AMISHI SHAH MERCHANT
- Washington, DC
- From growing up in the mini-metro of Baroda, India to working in the mammoth city of Mumbai, living in a small town in Connecticut and briefly in Columbus, Ohio, we (read as my husband and I) moved to Washington, DC and plan to be here now. Let's just say I got tired of packing boxes! I created this blog to write about my thoughts and experiences. It started in 2010 when I had moved to the field of public policies, and being a former writer for newspapers and magazines, I missed writing. The blog was a way for me to keep at it. The blog remained quiet for some time as I completed school. But has been back for several months now. I write one or two posts a week - on topics that range from book reviews, to food-related articles, to something that catches my attention and more. I gave this blog the title because I feel that it describes me very well. I make the best efforts to retain traditional values that we were brought up with, but at the same time, have adapted to changing times also. I would love to hear from you and know about any feedback that you may have. The best way to get in touch with me is via email: amishi.shahmerchant@gmail.com.
