Blogger Interview # 49: Deepika Vasudeva

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
 About me, an aspiring architect writes sometimes... Well, about my blog, a place which holds the times when emotions had flown hard into words. I don't blog regularly, it's not all times you can come up with something deep from heart... and I won't write unless I have that inescapable urge.

2. Are you a full time blogger? How did you get into blogging and why?   
No, I am not a full time devoted blogger, sometimes its writer’s block, sometimes its laziness. I used to post my work on a public forum for around 2 years, but it lacked the individuality and space, so I decided to move to my own space.

3. If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
    People come in blogging for different reasons, different inspirations.. the only requirement to write is inspiration, nothing else can get you to sit and write and if you have got that required inspiration, nothing can stop you from penning it down too.

4.How do you build a community around a blog and social media?      
 Idea was never of forming a community. It’s just about exploring others and learning. And in this process we do make friends, acquaintances.

5.What are your three favorite blogs to read? What makes those blogs special?
  My favorite blogs are :

    a.      Aesthetic blasphemy(http://aestheticblasphemy.blogspot.com/) of Anshul Thakur(http://www.facebook.com/blasphemous.aesthete)
    b.      A chronicle of dreams(http://achronicleofdreams.blogspot.com/) of Rekha Seshadri(http://www.facebook.com/reksesh)
    c.       Freebird(http://alkagurha.blogspot.com/) of Alka Gurha(http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000076981076)
The first two are epitomes of creativity in the words. You can smell, touch and feel the words itself, that’s what writing is.
The third one because Alka ma’am writes about the topics with a point of view, which receives least disagreement… an intellectual blog.


6. Which one plugin would you suggest all bloggers to have?  
Facebook profile and pages link is must. It makes the blog more approachable and of course more public.
