You made me blog.

In 2010 I signed up on twitter to follow my favourite cricketers and film stars. It all started with 140 characters. I loved tweeting. It was a challenge to write a message in 140 characters. I was enjoying being on twitter. As I started tweeting I got a mention from Gaurav Kapur which is very exciting for a cricket lover. It was a good start. One day Rahul my school mate sent me a link on twitter. It was a link of his blog post. At that time for me Blog was a space where people write and put theirs views on different things. At that time I used to read Amitabh Bachchan's blog. My first thoughts on blog after reading that were it is not about 140 characters or a post on facebook. It is about expressing yourself through it.

It was an awesome post by Rahul. He is damn good at writing. He used to write for Mtv as well. After reading that post I thought I should give it a try. I asked Rahul what is the process to sign up on blogger. I signed up immediately and named my blog 'PG'. First blog post I wrote was on corruption. I wrote 4-5 blogposts that year. As the time passed by I started enjoying it. I became a regular by 2013 and I started exploring the fields and topics I am good at. From PG I expanded to four Blogs. Cricketology, Freelancing and My interviews are the other three blogs. In Cricketology I write about cricket like what I feel about the game, what I understand about the game, my analysis of different matches and tournaments etc. In Freelancing I write marketing stuff for various companies. In my interviews I write what I have gone through during 50+ interviews I have given. Lastly PG becomes my personal blog by default.

Today I am mainting three blogs out of four. My interviews has been sidelined by me. Blogadda was the first blogging site on which I registered my blogs. Through Blogadda my journey of becoming a freelance writer began. Today I have become a freelance writer from a mere blogger. Last year Blogadda organised game of blogs and in that too my team won and I became an author. It has been a great journey so far. I hope to go much ahead in writing. It all began with a guy pushing me to try my hand at blogging. It was Rahul's blogpost which inspired me to blogging and helped me find my love for writing. Unfortunately he stopped writing after that as he got busy in his family business.

Rahul used to blog at: http://resultofboredom-blogjob.blogspot.in/?m=1.

I’m blogging for #YouMakeMeWIN to honour a blogger who has influenced me and deserves to be nominated at WIN15.
