I do not know how to reply to comments on my blog. It is not a technical difficulty rather a personal struggle. I must spend time to figure out how to do this simple task but when I only have minutes to grab to write it seems a little like climbing Everest to try to decode what is required to reply to kind comments from others.
My sister recently wrote, "First Class." She obviously is writing with cultural insight into the language of Hinglish! (Hindi and English combined). Spellings in Hinglish and funny phrases in Hinglish still strike my funny bone even after years of reading and hearing them.
Some recent favorites:
"Harn Plees."
"Wellcome."
The Apple sign all over a sari! Someone wearing a sweater that said Face on one side of the zipper and Book on the other. These are not per se Hinglish but they are part of the cultural reality of this "language."
A sweet, dear, Indian friend who is very conservative recently exclaimed "Sheet!" in front of my kids. When I asked her what it meant she said it was just a word that English speakers use all the time. Hmmm.
There are so many. I hope to get some photos up soon of some funny signs posted in a very serious place. (just to give you a teaser)

I say don't worry about responding to comments - unless you REALLY want to respond to a certain comment. It's great that you're taking time to share the small moments of your life with your friends. I can only speak for myself but for me, just reading your blog is pleasure enough - no replies to comments expected!
