About

Hello, I am Kiran Srivastava. Commonly known as the Chatterbox in the family. Ten years ago, I met Tarun (the Hubby) and we instantaneously fell in love. Our life so far, has been a roller coaster ride. From Malaysia and India, we begun our journey as husband and wife to America.

I started blogging our journey since 2007 for our families back in our homelands. When we are not busy blogging, you will find me working on recipes, photography, learning web designing, indulging in occasional twittering & facebooking!

Admittedly, I am a scatter-brained, often forgetful and not willing to admit that I am over 30 years old now. I am always 29 πŸ™‚ But I love my husband, our family, life and living abroad – not that it has anything to do with Ricky Gervais’s show.

Some random facts about yours truly:

  • Born in the land of Malaysia, truly Asia on April 6th.
  • 3rd child of 4 in the family. I have two elder sisters and one little (brat) brother.
  • Completed my MBA via distance learning. It’s not easy, but I did it.
  • Love to cook, eat and feed others.
  • It’s been a while since I’ve jungle trekked.
  • Love traveling, swimming, cycling, reading and recipe testing.
  • Been caught with drama/serials/tv series bug lately. GLEE fan. Huge.

Living abroad is like a new birth to life. Learning to take baby steps all over again.

Regarding Advertising…

Hi Kiran,

My name is Bharath Reddy Punuru. I was looking at your website and wanted to find out if it would be possible to advertise with you. I would be willing to pay you a monthly fee just to have a link to my website in your blog roll. No need for a banner ad or anything just a link to my site in your blog roll. I don’t know if you are accepting advertisers but basically I would be happy to pay just for a link.

Please let me know if you have any questions as I assure you I am a serious and would very much like to do business with you.

Thank you very much,

Bharath Reddy Punuru
