Interview with Blogger Abdullah Tariq
By The Pakistani Spectator • Feb 16th, 2009 • Category: Interviews • 6 CommentsI’m just another 17 year old. And I’m myself here.
Could you tell us what made you decide to blog, and what was the inspiration behind it?
I like to talk a lot. And a lot of what I talk about is random. So randomness would be it.
What do you think sets Your blog apart from other blogs?
It’s simple, funny and interesting. And has something everyone can relate to.
If you could choose one characteristic you have that brought you success in life, what would it be?
Believed in a better future.
What was the happiest and gloomiest moment of your life?
Every dawn is a new start and I cry and laugh everyday.
Urdu Blogs have got huge potential, when do you think they will really take on the online horizon in Pakistan?
As soon as the younger generation starts taking interest in urdu and the blogs get publicized.
If you could pick a travel destination, anywhere in the world, with no worries about how it’s paid for - what would your top 3 choices be?
Any place with mountains, waterfalls, forests and wild life. So Hawaii and South Africa I guess. I would also like to visit the North Pole.
What is your favorite book and why?
A Brief History of Time and Space by Stephen Hawking. And others about space, astronomy and weird physics stuff. I don’t understand much of but it makes me feel smart when I’m around other people.
What is your favorite meal, dress, and sport?
I love desi food because it’s spicy. Baggy jeans and a shirt (plain). Basketball is my life.
What’s the first thing you notice about a person (whether you know them or not)?
Their sense of humor. And then their randomness.
Whose Future is more bright in Pakistan; English blogs or Urdu Blogs?
Both have a bright future. There’s no way but up.
How Pakistani bloggers can benefit from blogs financially?
I don’t think many Pakistani bloggers blog to benefit financially. They just want to be themselves on the blogosphere.
Do you think Pakistani bloggers tend to remain somewhat self-centered and really don’t go out of their shells? Is it the oriental style of blogging, or they are still unsure about it?
A blog is someone’s personal space on the internet. And a blogger can be anyone on their blog. They can write however they want to.
What do you think where the Pakistani blogosphere is right now?
On its way to the top.
Who are your top five favourite bloggers in Pakistan?
batster.wordpress.com
www.dufferistan.com
goldenpages-mubi.blogspot.com
smacula.blogspot.com
poisonedapple08.blogspot.com
A lot of Pakistani blogs are amazing. Dufferistan.com is one of the blogs. It’s unique.
What is the future of blogging in Pakistan?
It’s bright. Very bright.
You have also got a blogging life, how has it directly affected both your personal and professional life?
I’ve learned a lot from other blogs. And one of them is that I’m never alone. There are a lot of people like me in this world. This has helped me a lot.
What are your future plans?
After my a levels, get a degree, a good job, and then get married, have kids, educate them, get them married and then retire.
Any Message you want to give to the readers of The Pakistani Spectator?
No one is going to win fame, recognition, or advancement just because he or she thinks it’s deserved. Someone else has to think so too. (John Luther)
