Deetu

Hi, my name is Aditi De.

I live in Bangalore, southern India.

I'm an author, editor, dreamer, traveller, foodie, blogger, photographer, media professional. I'm in love with life...

Guess what? I wrote an article about Postcrossing that was published in The Hindu Business Line newspaper on February 22, 2013. Here's a link to the article on my blog:

~ I love illustrations and art postcards. Such as the 'two old ladies' postcards by the Finnish artist Inge Look, for instance. Or Marit Björnegran from Sweden. Or Viktoria Kirdiy from Russia. Or Gotochi cards from Japan. Or cartoons. Or Moomim. Or Pippi Longstocking. Or Anne Geddes. Or B/W cards.

~ Postcards of art and artists, both classical and contemporary, would make me very happy.

~ I'm passionate about food, too. So, postcards of recipes/ traditional foods/ cooks/ cooking are very welcome.

I like postcards of most types, though. I'm sure each of your postcards will tell me a story about you. Looking forward to that experience.
