Three things about me:

1. I love to write but I have discovered that there is a lot more to blogging than just writing.

2. My favourite authors are Agatha Christie, Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen.

3. I am a hopeless technophobe and would be completely lost if not rescued time and again by my daughter.

Sadje’s Questions:

What is the best thing about your blog?

The best thing that I like about my blog is that it gives me freedom to write about whatever I wish. I have not chosen any particular niche so I can write about a number of topics.

What is your tag-line and how did you thought of it?

My tag line is “A light hearted look at life”. I like to keep the mood light in most of my posts (isn’t life serious enough), so this seemed like an appropriate description.

How would you encourage new bloggers?

Today my intention is to nominate newer bloggers for this award. I think this is a good way of encouragement.

How do you manage your time in the blogosphere?

I have quite a busy routine so I can’t stick to a schedule for blogging. I try to snatch whatever time I can for my blog. Sometimes with breakfast, other days just before going to bed. I also type out rough drafts on my phone during “dead space times” like commutes when someone else is driving, or waiting my turn at the bank etc. However, I am not very tech savvy so I do the editing and actual publishing at home on my laptop.

What is the most embarrassing moment of your life? ( funny question)

Embarrassing moments don’t feel very funny when they are occurring. It is later in the re- telling that they become funny.
