Tell us something about yourself.
I was in HR and I used to have lots of fun asking this question :)
Well, I am a writer, graphologist and have a way to give back to the world. I am also home maker, gardener and photographer, and take the time to write from my daily life experiences here I am currently writing a book that would comprise of 51 stories from people who are of South Asian origin and have an experience to share of the USA.
What do you think? Which was your unforgettable day in life? And why?
I have many unforgettable moments but not a full day. The closest is the day of my wedding, I got married to him twice on the same day and also for the third time a month later. I want to marry him 2 more times if I get a chance.. In a church and once more in the way where he would come on a horse and baraat and the normal jhing jhang that we see in the movies.
What is your blog/ website about? Blog URL?
Mann ki window is about me, my experiences, thoughts and realizations of life. It is a way of connecting with the world.
What inspired you to write a blog?
I don't know, I had never realized how much I liked writing till recently. I used to maintain a journal when I was six years old. I wonder what I wrote though.
Would you like to share credits with your friends/ family for their support and appreciation ?
Yes, With His grace, my family and friends do give me some valuable feedback and keep me going with their kind words and good wishes.
What are your plans in future regarding blog and audience?
I just want to keep writing and sharing.
How would (someone) describe your blogging style?
Fresh and honest. Thought provoking and hopefully inspiring.
What do you do when you aren't working on your blog?
I write :) I am also a handwriting analyst and when I was in Mumbai, I helped out a few NGO's with raising funds my selling quilling products.
If you could plan the perfect holiday, what would it be?
Anywhere with my whole family is always perfect. Spending time and sharing laughter, it doesn't get better than that. It may be Mahabaleshwar or Malaysia, the destination rarely matters when I have loved ones near me.
How many books do you read in a month - roughly?
Two or three. I like reading chicken soup series and also find the time to read books for my spiritual evolution.
Favorite color?
It would be in the range of blue and pinks
What is your most favorite electronic gadget?
My phone,It wakes me up everyday, helps me tell time, reminds me of my to do list and also helps me connect with the world
Favorite book character or film character crush. Yes you can pick 2 :)
I think I am too old for that now :( I did have a crush on Ed when I was in college.
Coffee or tea?
Green Tea :)
Favorite food?
My husband says that I was supposed to be born in Italy but I got misdirected to India. I love Italian food. Pizza and Pasta mostly. I also love eating sandwiches. Grilled cheese sandwich with chips and spicy tomato ketchup makes my day. I also love pani puri and vada pao and miss it terribly.
Is chocolate considered food?
I still love eating chocolate :P
Vanilla or chocolate ice cream?
Chocolate
What is a movie or TV show that you watched recently and really enjoyed?
I think "Dum laga ke haisha" I watch 4 to 5 movies a week. I enjoy most of them but this movie is the most recently enjoyed.
What really scares you?
Not having control, though I wish I could change it. I realized how funny it was when I was in the bathroom and switched off the light by mistake (bathrooms in USA are really closed, they have no windows, so if the light goes off, it gets really dark and claustrophobic)I felt so scared that I closed my eyes. It took me a few seconds to calm down and find the switch and when I came to my senses, I realized what I had done. I closed my eyes to get control over the situation. Spirituality talks about surrender to the Divine, I am worried that I have a long way to go for it.
What networking do you do that you feel helps your blog?
FACEBOOK
How do you keep coming up with material/content for your blog? Many people struggle with coming up with different articles/posts.
Yes, It was a struggle. Then, I realized that I didn't want to impress anyone or make a record. I write because I have something to share. It doesn't have to be so daily. I also like the idea that the Divine is writing through me. So, whenever it wishes, It tells me to write and I write.
Do you think Page rank plays a vital role in a blog’s life? Why?
I think it does, I would like to excel in what I do. But having said that, I don't know what my page rank is. I started enjoying the process and opportunity to write and I think I have forgotten the other things.
What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?
Content out of the options you have given.
Connection with the readers is something I aim for
What’s the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?
The spark of change.
What has been your strategy for creating visibility to yourself and your blog?
Facebook
What was the most challenging moment in your blog content development process and why?
Writing about myself. I keep changing the "About me" page the most. I keep discovering new things about me and keep changing it.
Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?
I am writing my blog since I was in college. Most of my posts, during my college days were mostly my way to vent out my anger or crib about my day or just whine. So, when I look back, I sort of would put all of them as a least favorite post.
This is my favorite post. My hubby tells me that he sort of realized that the wanted to marry me after he read this - https://mannkiwindow.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/wishes-can-come-true/
I also love this post - This is the first time I realized that people were reading my blog. - https://mannkiwindow.wordpress.com/2008/05/18/things-i-cant-do-and-dont-know-how-to-do-part-1/
If you found Aladdin's lamp, what three wishes you would ask Genie?
Oh, they are personal wishes. Sorry readers, Can't share them just yet. How about I tell you after they come true.
If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
Keep writing because you like writing.
If you were asked to send one message to your blog readers, what it would be?
Thank you for reading. I wish you would comment more.
