Blogger Interview # 4 Gauri Mathur

Gauri Mathur is a friend and an avid blogger who entered late into the blogging world, but neverthless has rocked it, with her astounding personality and mystic nature. No wonder, her blog is named Unpredictable Life. Some questions she answered for us :-



1) You are into active blogging today ad blogging is said to be a virtual version of a personal diary. Did you ever maintain a personal diary? Tell us something about it and differences between the two:

It’s absolutely right that blogging today has become the virtual version of personal diary. I myself have maintained it and I guess maximum number of people do. Maintaining a diary is always very integral part of someone’s life. Whatever secrets are written it’s totally between the writer and the diary but ones it is showcased as blogging its no longer can be termed as Integral because it becomes very public. Then there is another variation between the diary writing and blogging. When ever we write a diary, we write with the flow, it hardly matters that what we writing, and how’s the way it is coming out. We are totally venting out our thoughts, emotions. But in Blogging, a person becomes very conscious and cautious. S/he has to take care of all the details, has to concentrate on its fluency, its presentation, etc. It becomes more of commercial rather than personal (till the time its not been privatized).



2) Some words about your blog/ blogs.

Italic I became a blogger in 2007, though I was partially active but that was the initial year when I got into it. Then in 2008, august, I made my personal blog which I named as Unpredictable Life (gmathur.blogspot.com) and from that time I am an active blogger. All the credit goes to a very dear friend of mine in whose influence I entered this blogging world. And now very proudly I can say that I successfully able to make a name in blogging world though not a high profile name but surely of my satisfaction.



3) Blogging as a medium is often used for venting out ire, grudges, narration of love and heart breaks and sad romantic tales. comment.

Its quite justified, venting ones emotions in the blog. As now day’s blogging is considered the other version of personal diaries. People are free to make use of this platform in any ways. Some use it personally, some use it professionally.



4) Tell us, generally, what kind of role does aesthetics play in blogging. Does the presentation of a blog matter a lot?

presentation means a lot in the blogging world as it adds to Blogger/s interest by increasing the readership.



5) Any plans or wishes to own a personal website one day?

No plans, yet.



6) Your favorites:

Blog: There are many blogs which I generally read, in fact whenever I get time to go through blogs I go through them. So I guess naming a few here will be acting like bit partial with them. Therefore, mentioning none.



Blogger:As I said that there are many blogs I go through, and there are many bloggers I love to read. Mentioning handful of name will not be a right job to do.



Blogging platform (blogger/wordpress/etc): Blogger, anytime.



7) Something which you always wanted to do/write on your blog and never did or wish to do on a later date :

Till date there is nothing like which I wished to post and couldn’t post. I am a very random, spontaneous person write whatever feels like. I write for myself and that is what I like about me. It doesn’t stop me of writing things. I write whatever I feel like.



8) Describe a positive and a negative change blogging brought into your life.

Am naturally inexpressive person and blogging has helped me to express myself more, it has also given me a habit of writing consistently and also enhanced my creativity. In fact it teaches a sense of responsibility.

There is no such negative thing I ponder about blogging, because till date I have experienced nothing negative about it.



9) An ideal blog according to you would be?

According to me ideal blog is a blog, which connects with the readers. This is the primary aspect of the ideal blog. Then secondary aspects can include: presentation, fluency, consistency etc



10) Some words for our readers please:

There is only one thing I would like to share it with my readers, i.e. Blogging is the very good medium of communication, Learning and knowing oneself and venting out ones hidden emotions without any fear. It helps ones to get rid of various inferiority complexes, insecurities and boosts ones confidence level.

Leather Diaries said…
Interesting!

A diary or a personal journal is your most intimate confidante. You can confidently share your secrets with it knowing that your personal diary will not talk to someone. So you should be very careful about your personal dairy. Leather is one of the most versatile materials that finds application in many areas. I would suggest to maintain a leather dairy instead of any normal dairy.

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It was not the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a town ...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

When family hurts: A tale of love, loss, and liberation

In the shadow of the Jasmine tree: Breaking free from a toxic family In the decaying splendour of Eyrevale Manor, Elara battles toxic parents, rekindles forbidden love, and questions whether she can escape the chains of her upbringing. Under a canopy of jasmine, secrets are shared, hearts break, and truths unravel. Set in an enchanting town, this story examines love, loss, and the painful pursuit of self-discovery. What happens when home feels like a battleground? No one warns you how heavy a homecoming can feel when the word home means nothing to you. If there is one universal truth, it is this: not all homes are sanctuaries. For some, they are labyrinths of unspoken grudges, passive-aggressive remarks, and familial obligations wrapped in barbed wire. My story, dear reader, begins in the sweltering heat of Eyrevale—a coastal town so humid it could curdle your very thoughts. And for me, Eyrevale wasn’t just oppressive because of its climate. No, it was the family home that truly choke...
