About
Hi. I am Shilpa Garg.
This is the “About” page, so I should probably tell you my story.
- I am getting older by the day.
- I am not perfect.
- I have done MBA and I have worked for a decade in the Brand Management Team of leading Pharmaceutical companies and then moved on to work as a Soft-Skills Trainer.
- I am passionate about reading books and baking cakes.
- I observe a lot by watching and that gives a lot of fodder for my blog.
- I love finding extraordinary in the ordinary life around me and that reflects in my posts on this blog.
- I have been blogging since 2009 and still love every minute of it.
- Making lists calms me down when I am overwhelmed with life and work.
- As much as I love getting a cup of coffee/tea and enjoying some alone time with a book, having a conversation with friends over coffee/tea is something I relish.
- When all seems to be doom and gloom, I believe in finding positive possibilities.
- I don’t like being caught unawares.
- I am obsessed with washing and cleaning and I know it’s getting out of control.
- I have one husband (aka KG) and one teenage son (aka AG or Aaryan) who feature a lot in my musings and stories. They don’t read my blog, but they are supportive of my writing.
Are we friends now?

Hi, there!
I’m Jane and am an avid reader and blogger, a passion which I think we share. I’ve been writing contents on the web professionally since 2010. I share my experience through articles on Travel, Culture, History, Lifestyle and many more.
Your blog “shilpaagarg.com” is probably one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen recently and with due reason. I was wondering if I could do a guest post for your blog.
I would like to write on “7 Incredible Travel Destinations in Australia” or any other suggested topic for your blog.
It would be an honor to see my article published on your site.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jane Roberts.
