The Bay Window

The Bay Window — Come sit here.

A warm, lived-in room with a bay window looking out at green hills, bookshelves, a window seat with a cup of coffee and an open book, and a golden retriever asleep on the rug.

A little corner of the internet for stories, memories, books, food, travels, animals, and all the curious little things that make life interesting.

Come in.
Stay for a while.

Come in. Sit for a while.

There is a window here.
A cup of coffee, a book, or nothing at all.

Outside, there may be rain, birds, trees, sunlight or clouds.
Inside, you are warm and unhurried.

Read a little.
Remember something.
Smile.
Look outside.
Let your thoughts wander.

Stay as long as you like.

Explore the corners

The Library Books that stayed, comics that were lost to termites, childhood favourites, new discoveries and the joy of a new notebook. Wander through the shelves The Kitchen Mysorepak mornings, ullisammanthi, kappa and kaanthari — and all the stories that somehow come with food. Come into the kitchen The Rug by the Window There is usually a dog asleep here. The cat visits when it suits her. Meet the residents Outside the Window Forests, waterfalls, hill roads, faraway cities and small things noticed along the way.
