If you haven’t already, please read the Home page for the background to this intimate journal series.
Blog posts will contain my mother’s journal entries in chronological order from June 8th, 1969 (when our family settled in Australia from India) until just prior to my mother’s death in 1985. Some of her poetry and letters will be included.
I have used ‘Gita’ to refer to my mother throughout this journal series as it was the pen name she used for her short stories and articles.
If you are new to this blog you can read previous journal entries in date order via Archived on the Home page. Then Follow to receive each new post as it is published.
Sadly, Johnny (the love of my mother’s life), passed away ten years after her death. He was a devoted father to our very large family and I dedicate this journal series to both of them.
Let us begin…

I think it’s really neat that you were able to find old journal entries that your mother wrote so long ago. Preserving the family history even in little snippets like this is something I wish I could have from my grandparents – they never really told our family about their past before they immigrated to America.
