  2. Sensible people on my blog? 😕 Err, okay! 😀 I hope it’s alright to blogroll you? I haven’t encountered a linkallergy yet, but one can never tell.

    I so enjoyed all your posts and managed to read all of them!yay!

  12. Er, is the banner photo your own? Could I, could I please play with it some – it is looking far too fuzzy and I would like to try and sharpen it some for you, if you want it that is.

  14. Woman, I think I’m addicted to your blog. And I also risk losing work soon. See, here I am going, ” Just another tiny teeny post. Just one more lovely short post.”

    Hmmph. Clearly you leave me recourse but to blogroll you.

  19. Chanced upon your blog (intrigued to see a fellow Indian expat blogger in KL) while glancing through few Indian mum blogs (for a change) and must say that the last few hours i spent reading each and every post of yours has left me hungry for more. Undoubtedly hooked to your amazing way of writing with a streak of humour in every post. Which pre-school/school does your first born go to? Welcome to my world/blog too.

  44. Hey,

    I love reading your stuff and have blogrolled you without your permission. I’m new to blogging, didn’t realize I had to ask for permission. So, I’m apologizing after the fact. Hope its okay to have blogrolled you.

    Thanks,
    Meera

    • thanks for the compliment.

      i’ve been on silent mode for a rather long time

      i was just wondering whether to kill my blog or let it die a natural death?

      Reply ↓

      • Well, I love getting your perspective on living in KL and I sure love the payasam stories. Btw it was my husband’s nakashatra pirnadhanaal yesterday and I was to make paayasam and I was thinking MiM would have made it in a jiffy. Lazy bum that I am, I didn’t do it, will probably do it for his DOB. Please don’t kill your blog. We eat paayasam vicariously by way of your blog 🙂

        And I love the 55 word stories as well. So, for our sakes, blog on

  47. Hi!
    I am writing on behalf of Women’s Web, an online women’s magazine based out of India. We have started a travel series, profiling interesting women bloggers from across the world.

    I am quite impressed by your blog. Would you be interested in contributing a guest post for us on some fun things that a mom and kids can do in Malaysia and KL in particular?

    If you are, then please drop me an email and I’ll get back to you with further details. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Regards,

  48. Hi MiM! I have seen your comments around on blogs that both of us read. I have read you a few times but never really had anything intelligent to say 🙂 I am writing to you now because I am moving to Kuala Lumpur in exactly 4 days, and I am pretty paranoid. I have a head full of questions and I was wondering if I can write to you somewhere. My email address is tamannamishra@gmail.com. Please let me know where I can connect with you. Thanks!
