Jeevan dedicated this tag to me. I accept it humbly. Here it is.

1. Are you happy / satisfied with your blog, with its content and look?
# I am happy with my blog. Satisfied? Well no. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with it. I am always finding some area for improvement somewhere. Sometimes, I am not happy with the content, sometimes it's the look. Recently I changed the template of my blog because I just wanted a change.

2. Does your family know about your blog?
# Yes. My wife rarely reads it. But whenever I tell her that I have written something about Surya or some such personality she really likes, she makes it a point to read.
My father, mother and brother regularly read it. And sometimes I do get some brickbats from them. For posts like this one, I even got phone calls saying what the $#&*%^ are you writing?
My Father-In-Law keeps in touch with this space sporadically and we discuss a few of my posts too.

3. Do u feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
# No. Never. In fact I keep marketing my blog wherever I go! ;)

4. Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
# Yes. Definitely.

5. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
# I do open blogs of those who comment on my blog. I think that's the barest minimum I can do for those who comment on my blog. If I find myself reading their blogs then I too leave a comment telling them what I felt.
I rarely search for blogs on a random basis. I have done that once or twice in the past but don't generally find the time for it. Instead I would like to read the archives of the known bloggers so that I can know more about them.

6. What does visitors counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it in your blog?
# Frankly, not much! In fact, when I started blogging I didn't have a sitemeter/ hit counter on my blog. Then I began copying a few other bloggers and thought that it was a basic element on a blog. Though now I have a completely different outlook about it, I don't want to take it off. Call me lazy if you want! ;)

7. Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
# Sometimes I do. But don't really think about it much. If they have put up their pictures it's fine. Otherwise I don't really bother. I have come to have certain ideas about certain bloggers and the way they post or comment. But that's it. Nothing pictorially gets formed in my mind. I guess my mind is also as lazy as I am! ;)

8. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
# Well, I don't know if there is a real benefit for blogging, but I think there is definitely a benefit that we bloggers derive out of blogging. Sometimes it may be tanglibe sometimes it may be intangible. Can't really put a finger on that.

9. Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
# Mostly yes. Except for stray events like BlogCamp, nothing really happens that connects the bloggers to the real world.

10. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing?
# I like and desire to have constructive criticism. I keep asking people to give me critical feedback about my blog. Sometimes there is criticism that gets personal and I don't really react to such stuff but I do make a mental note of it that such & such a person is capable of making personal attacks. But that's it.
Many a time, I have criticised a lot of bloggers and they have responded too. We have had discussions and arguments too. But never has anything ended in bad taste, because rarely did we lose perspective of the issue.
Sometimes, I lose my cool and get personal. But I do apologize. I don't like people who don't apologize for their mistakes.
There was one person called "Aatma" who used to comment regularly on my blog sometime back. His comments used to really make me think and I used to take his feedback seriously. I don't know where he is today, I hope he comes back and takes his unspoken reserved place as my partner in an endeavour to blog better. Oh yeah Aatma, wish you a very very happy married life mate!

11. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them
# I would like to read a few political blogs to know what stuff they write. As of now, I have no opinion because I don't know of any such blogs.

12. Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
# Arrested?!?! That's news to me! The worst I heard was a blogger was forced to resign his job for cricticising some management institute. That really shocked me! Is it wrong to have an opinion and put it up on your blog? What else are blogs for?

13. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
# Nope. Never thought about it. Let me think now: It's an avenue of expression for me. After I am gone, I don't think i will want it to be there. In any case, no one will have the password to it na, so it will become dormant. And once it's dormant in this blogsphere, it will die it's own death.

14. What do you like to hear? What’s the song you might like to put a link to in your blog?
# I like to listen to A R Rahman's music. There are so many songs that I would like to link through my blog that it's tough to pick one. Since I have to do it, it would be this song:
"Dil Se re..." sung and composed by A R Rahman (from Dil Se...)

Now it's my turn to dedicate this tag to three more people:
1. Pavan (Because I love his sense of humour and sarcasm)
2. Shastri (Because he has stopped blogging for a long time and I hope he gets back to it with this tag!)
3. Vijay (Because his posts are so interesting, I would like to know his thoughts on these questions)
