crafting digital narratives|| media aficionado || the nation's capital


Nice to meet you,

I’m Vijaya – a writer, a blogger, and a sometimes media critic, who believes in the power of the free press.

Cheers!

Next, Apple and Google announced that the Parler app wouldn’t be available on their respective platforms.  Finally, and I mean finally, Amazon got on…
