Mrs. Anna Varki started working as a teacher after being a housewife for 23 years, and then in her 70s, she started working on the computer. Slowly and steadily, she became computer savvy. She was interviewed on a TV show and received many accolades. there was no stopping her. Her takes on amusing and interesting events in daily life form the themes of her articles. Her style is simple, direct and charming. It is as if she were writing a journal, noting down changes in living styles, from the inclusive Indian joint family gradually giving place to the nuclear family, the emergence of educated women opting for careers, job fulfillment rather than early marriages, the fast-paced life of the computer era and the marvels of the cyber age. She records the changing scenarios, leaving it to the readers to draw their own conclusions. But there is certain nostalgia, when she writes about the decline of books as a storehouse of knowledge and pleasure. Her musings have been published regularly in magazines, periodicals

and newspapers.
