I'm taking a long break from blogging....Blogging...I had stumbled upon it quite unexpectedly....happy to have got to know so many of u....it was a media for me which kept the threads of life more colourful....learnt a lot about not only food...about places,cultures,traditions,values,ethnicity....for me personally it has been a very rewarding experience....your comments,your words of appreciation....they werent just a virtual socialising for me...it was a greater feeling of being a part of a large community,a sense of satisfaction and happiness...Solitude of a housewife is at times a bit painful....especially when u have had earlier a career and a lot of people around...the transformation at times is a bit frustrating....but blogging has definitely kept me ticking...has made the transition easier....Thanx....thanx a ton....I enjoyed it....every smile on u'r face brought a lot of happiness to me....thanx thanx a lot....Thanx to blogging for having given me so many wonderful friends many whom I feel I know them for years.....LG/Inji who saw to it that she left a word of appreciation for almost every new post when I had just begun ... Sumitha,Archana,Annita,Ashwini,Shilpa,Indira,Manisha,Pushpa,Karthi,Tanuja,
Arjuna,Vaishali,Anthony,Priyas,shankari,Shaheen,Sailu,Vineela,starryN ....
I have always feltlike age old friends....and a host of new blogger
buddies like Gattina,Prema,Chandrika,Indosun,Surya,Asha,Lera,Linda,
Daagh,Maddy,Mathew,Menu today,Where's my mind,Velu.... to mention a few and
Aqua,who used to try my recipes and come up promptly with his feedback..
the other non bloggerfriends like Devi,Kerala Girl,Rg and a host of many anonymous friends....Thanx dear friends....u have all brought me a lot of happiness....So ....Let's not bid adieu....hope to meet u all somewhere some time...All the best to everybody...

hey there...what's up?
holiday? or just lazing off?
anyway a rest is always for the good, from blogging or whatever..
i will have something similar to say, pretty soon - we are moving back to the USA...so there will be a brief hiatus..

Hello Indianadoc, this is Rg here. Hope everything is alright at your end??????? Please don't quit blogging. It's a request. Please do come back after a relaxing break. BTW, I've tried some of your recipes, chappathi, chicken biryani, Malabar koyi curry, boiled egg bhurji, fish manchurian, vellarikka pulingurry and I've lot more to try....everything that I've tried so far was a huge hit, so thanks Shynee(if I may)for everything.
Have fun! Wish you the very best.
Thanks again:)
Rg.
Hello Shynee,
Hope everything is alright at ur end. I too have tried many of ur recipes and all of them were huge success. Pls come back soon.
Rgds,
Swapna...
Whats up buddy? Hope everything is ok. Do come back refreshed from a not too long break but hey dont stop blogging...
Take care
Hey,Where are you going?What happened?You cannot quit just like that..atleast you have to reveal whats happening at your end.A break is always ok,but there has to be a time period,u know?
Pls come back soon,Shynee..Yours is one of the blog,which i browse 2 or 3 times a day..Gonna miss you soo badly..
No no goodbyes for u..You have to be back..
You mean you will not come back to blogging?? I will cry. You cannot just go away like that from all of us, can you? Come on girl, we need to learn a lot more from you. After reading your post, it feels like the last day in college bidding goodbye to all the dear friends. :(
I was unable to leave comments on your blog for the past several days due to the blogger beta problems. Let me see if this works.
Hey, Shynee, Hope all is well with you and family! I feel little moved reading your post, and we assume you would come back to us..
Dont take too long buddy, we are waiting for you.. You were talking about upcoming India Trip, is it that???
Please us a comment, that would bring big smile on lots of our faces :)
Take care and lots of love to you.

Is this some kinda April fool??!! I dont believe this...Break is fine with me 1 month 1 year anything but the last sentence made me feel you are stopping blogging. I just hope I was wrong in interpreting. I can perfectly understand there can be n num of reasons but still...:-( Though I wasnt a regular in commenting I was here every day...believe me because u brought me memories of my home...what my mom cooks...and there u r stopping all this !!!! Hmmmm whatever it is we dont have any right to say not to stop but atleast keep us posted how u r...will be here to check that for sure...so as u said no adieu to u my friend...keep in touch...and good luck with whatever u do...
shynee, i do hope u are not serious. its you who kept me going. i just have to check on whats new in ur kitchen everyday.i hope everything is fine and pray for u to start blogging back soon.please don't stop wiithout an explanation.
What's up, Doc??!! Are you leaving me ,my dear neighbor? I will miss you and your comments but make sure to smile everyday and enjoy life wherever you are , whatever you do.. Got that?
Come back when you are ready and take it easy..no good bye but wish you good luck!! :D
shynee,
why break?..joining in a new job.If so all the best for it but do soon come back to bloggers world.Wish you good luck
hey doc
come back soon. All the best for whatever you do :-)
thanks for all your help
Hi Shynee
Hope you and your family and doing well. Yes as Karthi said, please post in a comment saying that all is well and that you are going to return back. We all have had our shares of farewells in school, college, workplace but still it is always painful.. Always will be.
Take care wherever u are
Hi Shynee,
I have known u for a very short period but I really enjoyed reading ur posts except for this one which made me sad.
Hope u will come back soon again..
I am going to miss ur posts..
Shynee, I miss your posts already, hope you are going off to do something interesting, good luck and visit us now and then.
Hi Shynee,
Recharge yourself during break and come back soon. I will miss u!!!Take care.
You've created a wealth of culture and sharing right here on your blog. You have also expressed yourself so eloquently and shared precious moments of your life with us. Thank you very much for that. Blogging can get overwhelming and addictive - although these may not be your reasons. A break is always a good idea. And much to your surprise, you will find out that you can have a life without your blog.
But since you have done such a wonderful and amazing job in just 5 months, could I suggest that you consider coming back sooner than yo planned and slowing down instead? Maybe post once a week or once every 10 days. Even once a month. Think that is possible? At least consider it. I do so hope it is!
Take care, dear. My best wishes with you always. Keep in touch!
>Thanx dear friends...I'm really touched by all u'r love and concern...It has been extremely sweet of all of u....Everything is absolutely fine here...To be honest I just wanted to laze off a little bit...rather break the addiction...There is always a lot to share....I love sharing them too...but sometimes it creeps too much on my time...upsetting the nitty gritty priorities of life....I thought I should strike a balance...moreover I'm off next wk on a month long vacation to India...It is difficult for me too to give up something that I really love to do....I too will miss u all...but I'll still be around...reading u'r posts...and learning from u...Kerala Girl is right...I ws really thinking of breaking off totally...but probably I can do what Manisha suggested...hope to come back a few months after...till then...tk care...love u all...thanx...thanx a ton...
Haaavu! eppozha samadanamayathu, thanks for your reply shynee,I have been checking every now and then for your response.Thats all right dear, take your own time.But please assure us that u will be back.Have a great trip and enjoy your vacation.Take care,wishing u all the best.Already I feel like I am missing u,bcoz u have become a part of our lives.
Kazhinja pravishyam abadham pat-ti poyi,randu pravishyam same comment ayachu.
love u lots,
Devi
shynee,
is there a better way to keep in touch with u? i do understand the part about addiction, but a total cut off will only leave u empty.i too have to stop myself from posting at the cost of other priorities. so do enjoy ur visit to india, and do post. i am hoping u will.
Just came back from my vaccation and I saw this post of yours about a break! Well I am also heartbroken as the rest.I have been a silent reader of your blogs for quite sometime now and my wife has tried one or two of your recipes. In fact blogging becomes so personal that when someone whose blogs you read and keep in touch suddenly vanishes it hurts as in the realy world. Nice to see that so many people love you and your posts. So many homes might have crises avoided between husband and wife when a tasty dish of yours might have saved their day:-) So do not go away. Be back from Kerala with more tasty recipes galore.
When you and Dr. are here in kerala please do call me when you get the time.
Ok.Now I'm relieved..Its pretty good to take a long break,but do come back,may be after 3 months ..4 months or 5 months ok..Atleast we could hope for that..
Enjoy your vaccation,Shynee..And all the best.
Thats really good news. Take a break..Have a Kitkat :-))Will be here waiting for more from u.. Enjoyyy your vacation :-)
Shynee
That's really a good news and a good decision too. Have a nice long vacation and do come back.
Agreed that blogging can be overwhelming but you can choose between a food post and posts that aren't related to food at all to break the monotany. I have learnt a lot about kerala culture and I have a wealth of recipes up my sleeve from all of your posts and I do hope to learn a lot more from your future posts(however intermittent they might be).
Happy vacationing!
Have a nice time in India and c you soon Shynee !
Wehenever i visit your blog , iam amazed by all the food your showcase. Hope your return back with the same enthusiasm.
Take Care !
Hello Shynee,
I feel very happy to know that u will come back. Do enjoy the vacation and come back with great new recipes.
Rgds,
Swapna
Happy to hear from you Shynee.. Glad that you would be back:) and come back, take your own time, enjoy your stay in India:)
good to know you are not quitting. Adhu nannaayi. Hope to c u around again in few months. My goodness, you are indeed very popular here, inni election-nu nikkam ketto. seat already orapaayi.:)) just kidding. enjoy your vacation trip shynee.
Have lots of fun!
Best wishes,
Rg.
A big sigh of relief !!!! I am so happy that everything is OK.
Shynee i earnestly hope that you will consider Manisha's wise suggestion. Be very relaxed about it, we will wait for you. Is here any way i can keep in touch with you?
Shynee... thats was a touching write up-- When I was reading .. I was getting a message whether this girl is not going to come back-- after reading the comments I was relived..came to know you will be back after break--- take a vaccation and take good rest and relax yourself and do come back--- I will be missing--You are like a chechi for me--- learning lot of stuffs from you:) LG had gone for a break and now its you :( will be missing you shynee:(
Have a restful and wonderful break Shynee; I have appreciated your friendly words and will look forward to your return when you're ready. All the best to you and yours. :)
Ho pedippichu kalanjallo.
Have a nice vacation shynee. Come back soon. We will miss you.
Have a wonderful vacation, Shynee! Take your time off and don't feel pressured into anything. Come back with a structured plan when you're ready!
Hugs!
deare shynee, i was so upset to read your post, wondering if something has gone wrong on your side. thank god, everything seems ok ! take a break and welcome home ! you have my email ? here it is - renuramanath@hotmail.com, and my mob - 94471 89781. when in kerala, make a call, or send a mail. come visit kochi, we'll have a great time !
really, your site has helped a great deal in my work on kerala's food history. you don't know how many portions i've meticulously copied from your blog, to assist my work.
keep in touch, and have fun.

>Once again thanx my dear friends,thanx a lot for all the love and affection....I feel so happy and privileged to have been loved by you all so much...I just cant tell you how touched I am....I wish I cd meet u all...somewhere...sometime...you can reach me still at shynee.pm@gmail.com .Those of you who have been happy to try my recipes,pl do continue to visit my blog...try them and do let me know the feed back...I wd be very happy to read u'r mails....Hopefully I may come back some day....Till then....lots of love and cheers to all of you....you guys r really amazing....

I hope you take a good break and then come back with a bang! Your blog is a real treasure.
Oh no...
