I've been following you and I love your writing. Your taste for desserts and sweets really responded mine. Palm sugar and coconut? Ooh I love them. I'm an Indonesian -we use much much palm sugar and coconut in our desserts. Now I learn to enjoy putting more fragrant spices into my simple palm sugar-coconut-pandanus leaves way of Javanese desserts. It's challenging!. Hi Indira. I’ve been following you and I love your writing.

Blogging does allow a lot of friendly interaction and you really develop a nice rapport with many of the fellow bloggers. Whether one knows them personally or not, sharing thoughts about a common passion is good. You can relate to their stories and experiences. As you once said, blogs are like children's faces- each expression tells you about them, each story brings out something new to learn. Dear Indira,

I hope none of you were hurt.. It's very sad to hear a well loved car get smashed up.. But I'm very very glad that you guys are okay. Our car, a 6 yo, was badly rear-ended this Feb and thankfully, my DH was okay. But it shook us up very badly and I'd say, I'm still recovering from that shock.. But one good thing, it bought a big change in our perspective... what's important and what's not. I'm glad you are okay. :hug: Oh my! I hope none of you were hurt..

Our car got totalled. We are ok but our ten year old car got totally smashed up in a hit and run. Dealing with it all took some time. I loved reading your kind and generous responses. The affection in your words means a lot to me and I will always cherish that. Thanks very much for taking time to share! Sorry for suddenly disappearing from the blog. Our car got totalled.

How could I look into their personal worlds without befriending them? This is my first visit to your blog, and I just LOVE it! I saw the link on someone else's blog. (Heera's? Shashi's? I can't remember.) And because I was eager for some authentic Indian recipes (most especially my favorite, bhaji!) I had to click on. I'm SO glad I did! Great blog, great recipes, and you seem like a sweetheart! Glad to 'meet' you, Indira! Indira, I MUST get to ‘know’ the bloggers! How could I look into their personal worlds without befriending them?

At least it started that way, then I started admiring how beautifully you present everything, whether it is the written word that you pour your heart into or the photographs that are incredible or the description. I do form the attachment to the blogger behind the scenes, since we form an unseen image in the mind. We do care about the blogger - wondering what made her post that particular recipe etc. Am not much of blog reader until I saw yours and have related to it exactly as you described - attachment to familiar recipes.
