Here are my responses
to the questions posed by Gunjan:-
1) Why do you like
most about blogging?
About Blogging I like
that it gives you a platform to share your thoughts in a detailed way, it
reaches to the specific audiences i.e. to those who really want to read
something interesting. It is different than any other social network as while
you blog you can enhance your artistic skills.
2) What do you dislike
most about blogging?
Many people start
blogging as passion, as their hobby, as they wanted to showcase their skills to
others, gradually people make it their profession and only few people can keep
Passion alive and they turned to be professionals by flooding their blogs with
so many “How to”, “what to” blogs, which many times are repetitive. I dislike
this thing that people forget the original motive.
3) How do you get
blogging ideas?
There is only mantra
behind getting ideas, “Always be alert, keep your eyes, nose and ear open” .
Actually I think that
I am a good observer and while observing incidents, people and work around me I
get ideas to write.
4) What did you want
to be when you were a child?
Hahahahaha, this is a
funny question to any adult living in his late twenties now. Each person grown
up in 90s wanted to be a superman, yes he personally wanted to become
something, then his mother wants something else, and suddenly father came and
decide another profession, but after all, destiny takes him to a different
stage.
My case is not
different actually I wanted to become a Doctor till my class 10th,
then an Army Officer, then I decided to become a physics scholar and researcher
but then I found that god has written something for me in other profession and
Finally I became IT Consultant or Software Engineer.
5) Which is your favorite book and why?
In today’s date my
favorite book is “Shrimadbhagwatgeeta” and why, because every time when I read
it, I do not get a single thing repeated. Each time I find something new, may
be after my each reading the level of my understanding enhanced and I see the
same thing in different direction.
I request to all fellow bloggers to read it at
least once, do not think that it is a religious book, it’s a philosophical
book.
6) Of all the places
you have ever been to, which one is your favorite and why?
Here I assume that the
question is asked in terms of my residences in where cities then in that case
my favorite place for living is Hyderabad, and why, because this city has it’s
own pace of life, a royal pace, a charm of staying forever in the city. Even it
is considered as a Metro city, it has its own share of calmness during usual business.
And if the question is
about the tourist destinations which I visited and liked the most, then my
answer is Gangtok, yes it is my favorite destination where I would like to go
again and again or may be in my retirement age I would settle down there. I
liked the people there, they are very nice, helping in nature, and you can see
the same purity on most of the faces which you see on a new born baby.
7) Your biggest
influence or role model is?
I do not have a fixed
role model ever, at each stage of life I see role models around me, for example
when I was in school then the topper of the class was my role model, I wanted
to become like him, at the same time the football captain of school team was
also my role model.
When I joined my
profession, then I saw several skilled people around me who knew more than me
about the skills where I am working so I made them my role model.
But being as a human
being I always admire my Father, and wants to become a father, husband, son and
human being like him.
8) What's your favorite genre of books?
I like Hindi humor,
History, Fiction by Indian writers.
9) What time of
the day is the most conducive for you to write?
Whenever an idea
flashes in my mind, I put it on a notepad, and then whenever I find a little
time during any part of the day, I write.
10) How do you
overcome blogger/writer's block?
That I do not know how
to answer!!!
