When did you start your site?
I started my site two years ago when I came to live in Canada. It was just a trial and error situation and learned something new every single day.
Marital Status?
Married for the second time. But I maintain a good relationship with my ex husband.
Occupation - What kind of work do you do?
Hobbies - What do you like to do, besides keep this site?
I just love to cook, its kind of therapeutic for me. Sewing, interior decor. I love to write romantic short stories and letters.
Location - Where are you from? Where are you now?
Born in India of English descent, I have lived in Iran for 6 years and Holland for 14.
I now have settled in Canada. Travelling around the world was my passion. I have even visited Afghanistan 3 times.
Why did you start writing your Web site?
I started writing my site, because I had a lot of time on my hands and not only that I am a rather creative person, so what better way, than to be able to have all your creations and points of view at one venue, just a click away for everyone around the world. It is fascinating
Why do you write a site about you?
Well its not really about me, Its about all the things I love and enjoy and know for sure others will too.
Do you communicate with readers of your site?
How much email feedback do you receive from your site? Is it mainly positive or negative?
I might have gotten about 5 negative emails in all these two years I have my website, and that was from some really troubled people who wrote in from my Domestic violence site. Otherwise the feed back is fantastic.
I receive over 80,000 hits a month, I know its hard to believe, but its true. This Valentine's Day I received nearly 6000 hits.
I dont sell stuff on my website and I have friends who do. They just dont know how I do it.
Have you met any new friends because of the site?
Has your motivation changed over time?
Yes it changes everyday. I just want to learn more and more. I want to be able to do more and be able to help more people.
How has it changed your life?
The Internet allows me to reach out to others when they need me. I have made websites for people, been an attentive listner to so many people in trouble. I have always been there for my friends within minutes if they needed me. It just helps me to be me. My website is 'me' without talking about myself ever.
Do your friends and family know you keep this site/read it? If so have you had any really negative experiences as a result? If not why?
All my friends and family know I have this site, I have never had a negative experience.
How has your Web site benefited you? Your friends? Or total strangers?
As I mentioned before I have a lot of fun, I can express myself in my love letters etc. Some of my friends have benefited by me making websites for them. And the total strangers who came in touch with me, have always written into my guest book with a lot of gratitude and love.
If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
Hmmmmm let me see. Nothing really cos I did it 'My Way' but I would have liked to have bought my domain from the beginning. I have only just done it, and now I have 120 pages to transfer. I will start doing it in April.
As I am going in for some surgery in March so I wont be too well.
What are your favorite things on your site?
The favourite things on my website are my loveletters. My Pet Buddah who is my whole life. I love all the music too, most of it made by my friend Joerg in Germany.
