In the News

Miles was recently interviewed for the New Indian Express Newspaper. This newspaper has a section that specifically highlights expats and their lives in India. Miles was honored to be asked for the interview and a great article was written up complete with pictures of our travels. The interviewer was a girl friend of our friend Paloma. Her questions for Miles consisted mostly of places we have been, where we have traveled, the restaurants we like to frequent around town, and what we like to do in our spare time together as a couple in the city. The interview was over the phone which made us laugh because the article is written from the perspective of two people sitting around a coffee table face to face. She added in things like, ...and we nod"....which of course never happened as it was all conducted over the phone with no face to face interaction. She did a good job though capturing Miles words and answers accurately and respectfully. We were both pleased with the outcome.

The interviewer became VERY excited upon discovering our blog. She asked to highlight it in the article. We of course agreed. Since the article has been published our "viewers" have increased phenomenally and we have also been contacted by local Chennains giving us feedback and thanking us for the good publicity of Chennai, for doing the article, and kind words in our blog about the city we now call home. What do you think?

I hope the picture is clear enough you can read it, however you can also read the article here.


Well, the recent media attention has made this blog even more famous and that is a very good thing! Our blog has been visited by 32 different countries around the world! A very good thing indeed.

...and in honor of our celebrating....another Giveaway!
