Nagaland 2025

March 13, 2025 by Varsha Seshan 1 Comment

It’s been ages since I wrote a travel post, although I’ve been thinking about writing one for a while. Often, there’s so much else I want to write that travel posts take a backseat. But Nagaland was special for so many reasons that I decided to write about it even though this post comes almost […]

My Year in Writing – 2024

January 13, 2025 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Reflecting on my journey as a writer is probably the post I enjoy writing most. Writing is such a slow business and wins are so few and far between that it’s easy to get bogged down by all the endless waiting, the ghosting, and the rejections. Yet, when I look back at my year, I […]

Creative Writing at Vidya Valley School

August 4, 2016 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

In the pouring rain, we made our way across the city to a school far, far away. It was beautiful. Greenery all around us, streams in the most unexpected places – this was not a part of the city I knew. I’d heard about Vidya Valley, and met a few students from the school at […]
