A BLOG MIX-UP

This is a cautionary tale for bloggers (read ME*) who bite off more than they can chew.

My mother whose profile is shown alongside, started writing her memories for the younger generation. And I decided to put it in a blog. It is called Memories and Musings, and received such a welcome from family and others, that my mother got into the habit of updating the blog with more memories.

The thrill of creating a successful blog for Maiji, as we call my mother, and even posting pictures on them, prompted me to create one of my own, though I did not have much to say. Anyway I went ahead, and called it Vox Mine. Techno granny my friends called me, and it went to my head, I think.

I had got into the habit of updating both blogs, and somewhere down the line, managed to do something which made this Vox Mine appear as if it was my mother’s - both blogs now belonged to Maiji!

So I stopped posting anything on Vox Mine.

What is now on the blog are posts which I wrote earlier - Maiji who is credited as the owner is blameless. My own blog is now called Raji's Ramblings.
