Can you tell us a
little about yourself and your blog?
Hi I am Menaka
Bharathi, I am a positive thinker and believe me I have always known what life
has in store for me. To me life although is not a bouquet of roses, its each
thorn has been a molding platform. I have crossed many roads of life that had
been happy, sad, funny, stupid, horrific and sometimes boring too and in all
these roads I have learnt a lot of things.
This knowledge
is what I share in my Simple Indian Mom. SImple Indian Mom is a blog
that has everything a woman (mother, sister or daughter) would want to know.
My Simple Indian Mom
or SIM as I call her is my dream child, I love her and cherish her
to the core. I had built her up from nothing and am happy with her growth. I
believe that she would be someone great as time goes.
Today I am the most
content woman in the world with the happiest family. My husband is a very
romantic,devoted and sincere person, whom I love with all my heart. My two boys
are ones you would never want to miss spending time with.
Are you a full
time blogger? How did you get
into blogging and why?
I blog anytime I am
free, however to get a total of two to three hours of free time is something
like an Himalayan task fro me. I basically am a person
who likes to help other people, and because I am in a position to help other I
do it with all my heart. Between my job, studies, my husband and children
and the people around me whom I help, I find time to blog and SIM has been a
driving force for me since the time I began.
I actually used to
have a lot of time that were spent idle at home and at that time I turned my
attention to content writing. Some good people began giving me writing job from
whom I began learning the hows and whats. although content writing (which was
in almost every niche) and SEO writing brought confidence in me, I was not
feeling content. there was something I was always in search of. I began some
blogspot blogs, wordpress blogs and so on. I tried new things a lot of time and
finally settled with SIM.
If someone
was interested in blogging, what
would be a few things you would suggest?
This is one question I
used to pester my blogger friends with - give me a suggestion, an this is what
I learnt-
Blogging is not
something that would sprout like mushroom in a day or week or even months, you
have to wait for long long times to reap the fruit out of it.
consistency, hard work
and a plan of what actually you want from you blog would only lead you to your
success.
always help others
with your work and just keep going, reciprocation would find its way to you.
Well, its this simple
- do your duty with passion and let the rest to almighty, god or nature
whatever you believe in.
How do you build a
community around a blog and
social media?
Well, I
would suggest being active in social media, forums,
commenting in other blogs and replying to the comments on your blog. however I
a weak one at this because, again, due to want of time. Interacting with other
bloggers is of utmost help, especially when it comes to
widening your readership. I have had great friends who
have supported me and showed me the right path.
What are your three
favorite blogs to read? What
makes those blogs special?
I like Rajkumar's Dream Health,
Rahul's Desire v/s destiny,
Damaynti's Daily Writes and
Debajyotis Some Facts and SOme Nonsense. These blogs are
different in their own ways. people writing these blogs seem very professional
and make one feel blogging is something serious.
Which one plugin would
you suggest all bloggers to have?
I would not be able to
give just one, well, the all in one seo plugin is one that seems to have gained
a lot specific and serious readers for me.
