merkal2005: Hi Aseem, please tell us about yourself, your life, your background. Where are you from?

aseem: I am 32 years old; happily married; and a proud father of an eighteen month old princess. I am based out of India. By qualification, I am an engineer and an MBA from very prestigious institutes. I earn my living as a product manager in a software product company.

I like interacting with people from all kind of background and nationalities. Understanding people is like a hobby. Currently I spend a lot of time, trying to understand my little daughter. And believe me, there is so much to learn from her that I am not able to keep pace.


merkal2005: In your blog you write good insights for life. What inspires you to write these? When did you start blogging?

aseem: I believe all of us have the potential to lead a happy and successful life. All of us have the power to make our dreams come true. I am inspired to share insights that have the possibility of making a positive difference in people’s lives and help them uncover their true potential.

I started sharing my thoughts through my blog in early November 2007.



merkal2005: How is your blog going? What do you do in order to increase the traffic?

aseem: My blog is going very good. Readership is increasing slowly but steadily. I have received very encouraging compliments, reviews and even blessings from my readers.

Apart from trying to create quality content, I have subscribed to BlogRush and EntreCard to increase traffic. I also participate in a few blogger communities including Peoplized.com to publicize my blog.



merkal2005: What is the secret of leading a great life?

aseem: Choose a big problem, stand up for a cause, or set very high goals for yourself. Dedicate yourself to whatever you have chosen.


merkal2005: What your expectations from 2008? What are your suggestions to new bloggers for 2008?

aseem: I believe 2008 would see an explosion in the number of bloggers as well as blog readers. New bloggers would find it more challenging to gain visibility. I would suggest new bloggers to bring something new to the blogosphere instead of starting a “yet another blog” on a generic subject.
