What the hell am I doing for IndiBlogger?

IndiBlogger.in being a community of Indian blogs and bloggers we realize that we are for the community. And we being bloggers for many years (we have 25+ man years behind us in blogging) it was necessary for at least one dedicated member of the team to work with different online and offline communities in India (blogging, tweeting, etc).

So that is me. I look after or try my best to interact with other online communities and IndiBlogger.in and find out ways how we can best partner with each other.

What the hell am I passionate about?

Needless to say, I am passionate about blogging. Yay! My other passions include my 1986 model Enfield Bullet Standard, reading novels (I read everyday), listening to music (everyday), keeping ornamental fishes (I love Siamese Fighting fish), and traveling.

Where the hell did I pop up from?

Originally from Nagercoil (Kanyakumari District) and have made Bangalore my temporary abode for peace (who am I kidding), parties, fun and work. For people who do not know too much about Nagercoil – it is a beautiful place with rolling mountains, secret and not-so-secret water basins (ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, waterfalls, dams, etc.), different types of forests, a rich and varied wildlife, and much more.

Enough!!! Where the hell can you substantiate what I have claimed above?

http://anw.in/ – My personal blog where I blog about IndiBlogger meets, blogging tutorials, pictures, trips, concerts, books, myself, etc.

http://awesomefotos.com/ – A photo blog where none of my pictures are showcased. Nevertheless, I love the blog.

How the hell can you connect with me?

Who are we?
A bunch of bloggers who believe that the Indian Blogging community is much larger, deeper and more active than people know.

So what’s the plan?
Give everyone a place where they can find each other – on the IndiBlogger directory.

What’s with the badges?
Wouldn’t you feel lost if you didn’t belong to a country? Your blog feels the same way too. Give it an identity.

Why IndiBlogger?
To be honest, it was more of a “why not” than a “why”? However, as we built our idea, it started to make sense. And here we are.

Join the IndiBlogger team
If you feel you can contribute, please post a comment with your blog’s url and we’ll contact you.

Post a comment and let us know what you think!
