First Q&A


1. Can you tell me some of your strengths that really helped you in blogging?
I personally feel it has been my ability to perceive things differently. We are not in India or the United States where teenager writings are given some kind of importance at least from their age peers. We are in Mauritius, and it is tremendously hard to jerk the silent mass that we have to come out and read a content unless it is noteworthy. I feel the different approach is what attracts many. 

2. How would you describe your blogging style?
Uhm. I'm not sure that I kept a particular blogging style. The point of Our Alter Ego is exactly to present a plethora of different selves of our own self and hence various styles. But recently a friend made me realise that I may very well have a common styling in all of my articles; that was when guest postings started to come up and comparisons could be made. So apparently, depth, complexity and wisdom is my style. 

3. What do you think is the best service a blogger can provide to his readers?
Triggering readers to think, hands down. I often get subtle and at other times stark 'complaints' about how my articles can be long or how the font is not appealing while others are comfortable with both. So, I'm not really bothered about the visuals. My aim is to connect with the divine within you. 

4. Who has impacted you most in blogging and how?
Myself. This has been quite a solitary journey and I do not have a lot of directly supportive people in my life. I have my writing idols, but blogging is much of my own inner thing. 

5. What was the most challenging moment in your blogging journey so far?
That moment repeats itself now and then. It consists of trying to escape the cursing and yelling for investing so much time in the blog. And it usually tolls down to a lot of internal depression too.

6. Can you name some of your favourite bloggers and explain why they are your favourites?
+Chitra Nair who blogs at A Bundle of Contradictions. She is an Indian Blogger and an age peer. I absolutely love her rebellious stance which is quite similar to mine.
I am not connected to any other blogger, which is sad. 

7. How do you motivate yourself to keep the blog up and running?
Self-love, want to be productive and creative.

8. What do you find the most frustrating aspect of blogging?
Engaging people. People can be really slack-active. It's a common feature of all Internet Users. I wish they would comment more in the open, good or bad. It's truly frustrating. I do receive tonnes of private messages that are really warm and fuzzy. But I mourn at the fact that I'm not being able to make them engage in a conversation. It's saddening.

9. In the future where do, you hope your blog will take you?
To myself. (:

10. Did you have any professional help or did you created the blog yourself?
My friend, who you must know as NIk, web-designed whatever you can currently see and I learnt some super elementary coding to add on some petty stuff. He thought my earlier blog appearance was appalling. 
Until next time, 
Be Light,
Much love,

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordi...

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me? ...

Ours is a world of relative values.

Nothing is absolute; all is   relative,   since any thought or actions cannot be seen outside of the context in which they exist or happen. The good or bad we know or perceive is heightened by our experiences or senses, and that there is no way of arriving at a universal adage. What someone   think   is good may or may not be good to someone with different contexts or experiences. In fact, good and bad are relative. But now, this could lead to utter anarchy. There must be some things which are either entirely good or entirely bad. Unquestionably, irrevocably. For thousands of years, most people believed that telling the truth, not stealing, being faithful to your partner, being kind, keeping your word, forgiving people who’ve done you wrong, and not murdering were  absolute truths . If people disobeyed these truths, they knew their actions   were wrong . This is not the case with most Americans today. In the last 50 years, there’s be...
