Blogger Interview # 70: Monu Awalla




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I'm a happy-go-lucky person who loves his family & friends on top of anything else in this world. I'm a small town guy who is now living in a cosmopolitan city with a thought in mind- "Sky is the limit." Professionally, I'm a software engineer who works in a software branch of an events & management company based in Bangalore, India.

As far as my blog i.e. http://artistbychance.blogspot.in is concerned, Its a place where I display my thoughts in the shape of poems. To follow along, I've displayed a few of my sketch works as well.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you a full time blogger? How did you get into blogging and why?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

No, I'm not a full time blogger. In fact since the first time I joined the blog world, I've been a 'Polar Bear' who has it's own hibernation period (giggles). But now I've planned to remain as active as a live wire & why not when 'blogging' is such a platform for anybody to share  his/her interests with people across the globe.

Blogging happened to me in the year 2008 when my imagination & interest in computers met with a beautiful accident called 'Blogger.' 

As far as question "why" is concerned, I'm still looking for an appropriate meaning that could define my presence here in this blog world.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Firstly, I would suggest being a genuine person on blog. Any manipulation with self identity will take you nowhere. Secondly, before considering technical facts, follow your heart & write genuine posts. Do not plagiarize. If you target being a pro blogger, the uniqueness of your 'content' plays a vital role in making you a successful blogger. Still I insist, follow your heart and you will get through almost any difficulty whatsoever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
How do you build a community around a blog and social media?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

People who blog are high in EQ according to me. So despite being a virtual world, you get an opportunity to make some really good friends. Interaction with people using 'social media' is a key to create a healthy community.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
What are your three favorite blogs to read? What makes those blogs special?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Currently ehow, Mashable & Howcast- all the 3 blogs are special to me on the grounds of information they impart.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Which one plugin would you suggest all bloggers to have?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

As far as one plugin is concerned, I would like to condense all social media sharing plugins into one as they provide you with an opportunity to share your talent in a matter of fraction of seconds.
