Would you please tell us something about you and your site?

1) I am a Home-maker from India. I am passionate about shayris, ghazals and poems (Mostly in Hindi and Gujarati). My site is all about my thoughts on love, life and general worldly affairs that I have penned down in the form of shayris and poems.

Do you feel that you continue to grow in your writing the longer you write? Why is that important to you?

2) Yes I do believe that with every thought and feeling that I have penned down, my clarity of thought and the urge to write more and more has grown. It is important to me because it helps me write better and better. It just gives me a happy feeling at the end of the day.

I’m wondering what some of your memorable experiences are with blogging?

Do you think that these new technologies are effective in making people more responsive?

7) I don’t know how effective it will be in long run, but it sure is generating a lot more responses now.

What do you think sets Your site apart from others?

The combination of words and a visual being used in all my poems and shayaris is one of a kind. I believe I was the first one to have an image for my thoughts and now few others have followed the trend. So what sets my site apart from others is my originality and purity of thoughts.
