I have to start this with your name, it is very beautiful and has it's roots (as you already know) in the land I love! Very glad to meet you here, welcome to the world of blogging! 
Now to the review:
For the content part: Likewise as Purnendu says. It's easy, free flowing and one that grabs attention because of the highlights, proper paragraph breaks and the use of pictures. You manage to establish a one to one connect with the reader which keeps the reader in.
For the layout and design:
- Side bar: Add the widget of Labels and search functionality to help people easily navigate through the contents of your blog. Also add an email subscription and follower widget to help them easily follow your blog once they like the content.
- If you can choose a template such that the sidebar is not transparent, that would be great as it will not hurt the eye of the reader.
Frequency: Agree with Purnendu. You certainly write well and we would love to hear from you more often, blog more frequently!
That's it, you have a wonderful space for starters! All the best and feel free to let me know if you need help with anything. Best wishes!
