Hello, Shilpa Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Shilpa: I am a corporate trainer by profession and reader and baker by passion. I observe a lot by watching and that gives a lot of fodder for my blog. I love finding extraordinary in the ordinary life around me and that reflects in my posts on this blog. I have been blogging since 2009 and still love every minute of it. As much as I love getting a cup of coffee/tea and enjoying some alone time with a book, having a conversation with friends over coffee/tea is something I relish.

Q1. An ever since moment in your blogger life or your turning point in blogging.

Shilpa: When Corinne from Everyday Gyaan started Write Tribe. This community changed the way I blogged. I love the camaraderie and connect with like-minded bloggers. The weekly creative challenges ensure that the creative juices flow freely and the counsel on various blog-related queries is priceless too.

Q2. Your definition of blog success.

Shilpa: A blog that has compelling content, consistency and connects with the readers is what makes it successful.

Q3. Your top 2 regular practices that have helped you in blogging.

Shilpa: 

• Writing regularly.
• Writing reflects my authentic self… who I really am.

Q4. Your motivational factor for your best blog.

Shilpa: I write because it is my space to express and connect with like-minded people.

Q5. One relationship who contributed to making your blog.

Shilpa: My family and friends who supported me when I started blogging. There weren’t any readers initially and I pestered them to read. Their encouragement kept me going.

“I write because it is my space to express and connect with like-minded people.”

– Shilpa Garg

Q6. One factor, out of your comfort zone in blogging.

Shilpa: Video Blogging. Though I have made 2 personal videos and shared on social media, I think this form of blogging is pretty challenging.

Q7. A book / movie / person / blog that transformed you.

Shilpa: Many actually. But The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak is my favorite for its profound insights and learnings about life and love.

Q8. Your strength and weakness as a blogger.

Shilpa:

• Strength: Connections through blogging that have transcended from the virtual world to real life.
• Weakness: I don’t have much of the tech know-how of HTML codes and other tech tools. I am better than before, but still, have miles to go in this field.

Q9. One principle you are proud of.

Shilpa: Honesty in my writing.

Q10. Blogging tips to share with your readers.

Shilpa:

• Be consistent and persistent.
• Help and support fellow bloggers.
• Stay true to yourself and your voice. People read you not so much for what you say, but how you say it.
• Leave meaningful and engaging comments.
• Make your content easy to share. Configure your social media handles on the social sharing buttons.
