Monish: I started blogging about 4 years ago, I share my experiences through my blog www.monishchandan.com on Food, Fashion & Lifestyle and much more. I never thought I would make into blogging but it just happened. It’s just my sheer passion and interest in writing my thoughts and sharing with everyone. In 2013, I use to write short stories, poems, etc in my personal diary and keep it to myself. I never dared to share it with anyone. Once I showed it to my friends, they really appreciated it and told to start writing on our intranet company website. From there I received a tremendous response on every blog that gave me the confidence to start my blog. My friends told me why don’t you start a blog on WordPress so that it reaches a wider audience and everyone know about it. That’s how my blogging journey started.

Interviewer: From where do you draw inspiration for your blogs?

When I see right now, bloggers are now considered equal to the mainstream media and the power of blogging is tremendous. The impact it creates not just for us but for the brand is fantastic. I see that blogging has a bright future ahead.

Interviewer: What is your definition of success? Money/ fame/ satisfaction/ (any other)

Monish: I tell you one thing, don’t come into blogging, if you think it is easy to earn quickly. It’s not that easy as you would think of it. Don’t run behind fame or money, just focus on quality content, write unique stuff and bring creativity in your post. I know it’s hard-hitting but that’s the true story.
