    After going thru ur blog it seems you are a professional blogger.
    I'm nowhere close to that. Just started blogging on general issues,no follower as of now. :P

    I am no professional blogger yar, this gs-today was just an idea that came to mind (me and my friend) last year. My personal blog also has no followers. How should one prepare for interview question on blogging, any idea? @SamratAshok
  • I am in too.
    I am also a 'personal' blogger (just to differentiate it from the term professional). I just write whatever takes my fancy (poems, articles etc.). Blog mostly visited by friends only.

    What kind of questions can we expect?
  • If it is personal blogging then questions can be:

    How has blogging transformed social media? (connect with jasmine revolution, micro-blogging, mobilizing civil society organizations like the one in Delhi protests in December 2013, India Against Corruption)

    Even in this Lok Sabha election, blogging was used to disseminate agenda to voters.....Mr. Modi's team came up with Indian Republic etc.

    AAP also used it extensively to woo the educated middle class during Delhi elections.

    How blogging can bridge the gap between government and the governed?


    For professional bloggers questions can be:

    Revenue model to sustain blog.
    How can blogging help in mobilizing resources for noble causes. (different from crowdfunding)


    Comments/ Questions are welcome :)
  • I've been running multiple blogs, actually. But concentrated on photo-blogging. Plus, it's been a while since I've updated any of them. I guess I'll get questions from photography and blogging. :-SS
  • seems one year would be sufficient for such a hobby.
    Ps:Kuchh na kuchh to banani padegi.Kya kar sakte hain!!!
