Hello,

I live in the South Indian city of Bengaluru, it is the capital of the state of Karnataka. Watch a 2 minute video of Karnataka here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO79orOvYJA

I like reading books but these days I find it hard to complete a book. My favorite genre is science non-fiction.
I begin my day with music and am always on the lookout for a new song. I can listen to the same song endlessly for days. I love Jefferson Airplane, The Smiths, Tame Impala, Coldplay...
I prefer TV shows to movies, shows that I have enjoyed watching are The Americans, The Leftovers, Mr Robot, The Fall, Broadchurch and Daredevil.

I like the little things in life: a cup of hot tea, a walk in the evenings, a good meal and so on. I love being around nature. When I was younger, I liked trekking but sadly I can't walk long distances anymore.

I am not picky about postcards, I appreciate every card I receive and there's more to a card than just the image but in case you are unsure of what card to send, here are a few ideas:

-Paintings/Local Art
-Black&White/Fine Art Photography
-Anything that represents your country/culture
-Anything nature
-Anything from my favorites or something similar.

I love seeing beautiful stamps on the postcard, if you have commemorative/picture stamps, I would greatly appreciate them.

I like long messages on the back of the card and I like to know the person behind the card. I would love to hear about you and your life.
If you are still wondering what to write, here are a few prompts:
◇ Write about the favourite things in your life: food, music, tv shows..
◇ What is something that makes you smile? What was the last thing that brought you happiness?
◇ Tell me how your week went by putting together a playlist of five songs that represent it.
◇ What are three things that come to your mind when you think of India?

If you'd like to doodle on the back of the postcard instead, that would be lovely :)

"I wish
maps would be without
borders & that we belonged
to no one & to everyone
at once, what a world that
would be. Or not a world
maybe we would call it
something more intrinsic
like forgiving or something
simplistic like river or dirt."
