Bitten by The Blogging Bug



"For people who believe writing is the best form of expression, a digital diary comes as a boon.Maintaining a journal in the form of a book or a diary gets monotonous many a time. Looking at the same cover,the same kind of pages and the same handwriting leaves one craving for something new and different,something that lets people experiment and discover the beauty of maintaining your thoughts on a digital forum."

I've been a part of blogosphere (well that's what the blogging world is called) for a while now. I would say it is the new age mantra. It is quite a hit amongst people of all age groups.Be it celebrities,students,chefs,IT Professionals (people like US) or even housewives,everyone has taken to the keyboard.The concept of having a blog comes as a whiff of fresh air for you and me alike. Like I said before maintaining a manual journal can get you bored. Blogs provide us with so many options ranging from font,themes,layouts,color combinations,images,animations and so on. They are also an excellent mode of communication between like minded people( to agree upon) and people with contradictory views( to debate upon).
People nowadays use blogs for all sorts of discussions ranging from :
•Political outrage
•Celebrity Criticism
•Fashion Ideas
•Humour
•Event Management
•Poetry
•Food
•Travel
•Scientific Advancement
The above mentioned are just a few out of a pool of amazing topics that I have come across. There are a host of other things that are being discussed in Blogosphere by a host of netizens.
While starting a blog one should exactly have in mind what he/she wants to write about. As a starter one should always be open to criticism ,be it good or bad.
According to me blogs shouldn’t be too flashy or over the top, though attractive. They should be designed in such a way that they can attract the right kind of audience for different articles in a blog.
Once someone starts blogging they should make sure that they keep updating their space at regular intervals. This prevents their blog from fading away from public memory.
Social Networking has taken our generation by storm. One must use their social networking sites to promote their blog too.Connect the blog to sites like Facebook,Twitter,Pinterest,LinkedIn etc.
Think out of the box. Don't dabble with the same kind of articles all the time. If you think really hard there will be a million unique ideas to blog about. Make sure you use pictures and videos to enhance the glamour quotient.
Have a meter to register your votes and hits to see the feedback on your blog. That can be a confidence booster.
Follow these steps and hopefully you and me will both have blogs worth reading!

Travel Post #5 : 10 BALINESE DELIGHTS TO STIMULATE YOUR TASTE BUDS

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its pristine beaches , beautiful temples and street food. There are a host of Indonesian delicacies that one would come across while walking along any road in this beautiful island. The food they serve in these small eateries ( “Warungs”) looks tempting and is too difficult to resist. Since the Indonesian Rupaiah runs in lakhs don’t be surprised if you are asked to pay up two lakh rupees for a simple dish. On my recent trip to Bali I ended up gorging on authentic Balinese/Indonesian cuisine ; right from street vendors to fancy hotels. The best part is they customize their non-veg dishes to suit the vegetarian palate too. Here are a few items that I devoured on the trip and absolutely loved. 1) Bakso This is a traditional Indonesian delicacy and one of the most popular ones. You will find plenty of street vendors selling Bakso along the streets of Bali. It is an eclectic mix of  tangy,spicy soup, meat balls, wontons, tofu and noodles....

Soya Chunks Broccoli Curry | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe

Soya Chunks  Broccoli Curry  | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe I attribute my varied palate to my Appa and Amma and no one else. Although South-Indian, growing up I was exposed to so many cuisines and I am not talking about, "just in restaurants". I am talking about "in Amma's kitchen". She wasn't just the Idli-Dosa kinda mom. She always ensured that she cooked up a different storm in the kitchen everyday and for that, I cannot be more thankful. Way before this whole "vegan" thing came into existence, she introduced me to Soya Chunks. We did eat non-veg at home but not everyday. That's when the humble Soya Chunks/ Soya Nuggets come to the rescue. The texture and taste (according to me) are nothing when compared to chicken but there is something about these nuggets that strike a chord with my palate.  Soya chunks especially when cooked in a curry form absorb water and spices. You take one bite and you realize ho...

Gokarna | Gokarna Travel | Things To Do In Gokarna | Travel Post #4

I've gone to Gokarna three times in a row. 2013, 2014 and 2015 and I know the three times is most definitely going to increase to uncountable number of times. Gokarna is actually a temple town in Karnataka,India. Devout people come there only to visit the Gokarnanatha Temple in the main town and see  (dirty) Gokarna Beach. We chose to go away from the usual track and explore the beaches on the other side of town. The first time around we took a train from Bangalore (Yeshwanthpur Station) and got off at the Gokarna Road railway station. The next time we boarded a bus from Navrang Stop at Rajajinagar and got off at the Gokarna Bus Stop. The third time around we boarded the bus from the same stop as above but got off at Kumta since we decided on having a detour before heading to Gokarn (Goks as we call it). Note : I might have to include some images from the internet as my hard disk has got corrupted and I have lost a significant number of pictures :( THINGS TO DO IN GOKARNA ...
