"For a long time, I slotted my bazaar walks as a time-waster. Why, I didn't even have shopping to show for it!" .@suchiswriting #whyloiter #walking #women #tuesdaytakeover And then I read "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. She prescribes something she calls The Artist Date, a weekly date with, er, yourself. She writes: "The Artist Date is a once-weekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you." #theartistsway

Hi, this is Suchi @suchiswriting taking over this account!
I'm talking today about my love for wandering around Ibrahim Sahib street.Some glimpses up ahead. #cityofwomen @whyloiter #women #publicspaces There is a rhythm to these streets that took getting used to. But now, the walking feels easy.

#TakeoverTuseday Every month we invite someone to take over our feed with images and words that capture an aspect of their city. This month we reached out to Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting. .@suchiswritng is a writer, poet and photographer who lives in Bangalore but identifies Bombay, Madras and Melbourne as her other homes.

It's been a while since Radhika Viswanathan @radhikavisw shared one of her wandering vignettes with us. This week, she describes something we've all experienced at some point or the other. What we want to know is: do you yield or do you not yield?

Hi. If you're on Instagram, we really hope you check out our feed today. We have the most amazing guest curator Pooja Saxena @anexasajoop instagram.com/p/CN1cPWmJy6i/… @anexasajoop: For as long as I can remember, I have judged the safety of a street or a public space by the number of women I could see. Lots of women 👍🏼 Barely any 👎🏼 (Waaaay) More often than I would like to admit, I have walked streets where the only woman to be seen was me.

This year, we've worked with some amazingly talented artists to create a visual language for the #cityofwomenpodcast and stunning episode artworks. We write about the process and the thinking behind it on the @VaakaMedia blog
