About
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD! We do beautiful things such as blogging, photography learning web design, trying my luck @ cooking, endless twittering & facebooking! Apart from the norm or expectations as homemaker, I enjoy the perks of traveling; no vacation application to boss. 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. Living abroad is like a new birth to life. Learning to take baby steps all over again. With a promise of endless, dull-free and awesome indulgence of drama, we welcome you to our virtual space. Have a look around, and don’t forget to say hello via comment or feel free to drop us an email @ info [at] kirantarun [dot] com.

Swapna — thank you so much 🙂
I certainly agree living abroad is new birth of a child reborn, since I am on long holiday in London from Pune, Maharashtra, India originally born and brought up in Mumbai, now in Pune. I am one of the best cook in my family and friends and a participant in master chef India. Today I experienced salmon cooking first time in my life trying Konkani system and discovered that this fish should not be cooked much to bring its flavours completely and adding more spices will reduce its natural flavours I think you agree on this. If any advice please mail me a recipe Indian style, if any, I will be obliged I am here till first week of December and will have more occasions to experiment with U.K. Seafoods.
Thanx
Shyam — Apologies I somehow missed on replying this comment. I hope you had fun experimenting recipes with UK Seafoods.
I have nominated you for a Liebster blog award <3

Hi Kiran! Assuming you speak the language – saya juga dari Malaysia! I stumbled upon your blog from Ohmyveggies and must say, I absolutely LOVE your posts! I tried your Apple & Cardamom tea cakes recipe today and despite not having a few correct ingredients, and thus having a strange texture, my partner and I loved it! We convinced ourselves it was “SUCH” a healthy alternative; NO BUTTER, I kept telling him.
I hope to try many more of your mouth watering recipes. Rindu Malaysia, tak?
Apa khabar, Divya 🙂
So glad to see you here from Kiersten’s beautiful blog. Thanks for dropping in with a wonderful comment. So glad you tried the apple & cardamom tea cakes recipe. I admit the ingredients are quite difficult to source but very adaptable. Glad it turned out good for you guys. Definitely rindu Malaysia because my family, relatives and friends are all there. But we make it a point to go on a yearly visit. Hope to meet you there someday. Keep in touch and once again, thanks for the lovely support and wonderful words of encouragement 🙂
Hi Kiran,
came across your blog through IndiBlogger. Congratulations on the win! And you have a beautiful space and I am happy to have found it.
