Increase in the number of readers. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing your “views per day” graph slope upwards.

It is a nice feeling to play a part in covering & sharing insights of this great city.

The clarity in thought that you get having being forced to put down thoughts in a structured manner. That helps a lot. Its not very evident, but bloggers are also good speakers – or at least they don’t seem to run out of things to say

The sheer soul satisfaction that comes from being able to write, unfettered. And of course, the absolute power of being able to reach out to people across the world, from the comfort of my computer screen.

To me its cathartic. It makes me look at my thoughts, once I have published a post, I am able to step aside and look at my thoughts and in a way to gauge what I am made of in a detached manner. There is also a certain responsibility because as a person who is more recognized on the road, I need to watch what I say. I have always wanted to write and by itself blogging gratifies that.

Learning from my readers, learning from my community. I Think that is very gratifying. Occasionally I just have to write a post saying ‘ Hey I am trying to figure out how this thing works?’ and within 15 minutes I get people saying what I should do. How great is that! It is so interactive. This thing is very alive, Blogging and twitter are very organic. They are like living things like this is not dead meat. It is a live medium. People respond to you and interacting with you. I can go to any country and I find that at least one guy has read my blog. Isn’t that cool. For me that is a Big thing

Having someone comment on your blog or mailing you saying you made their day or you made them laugh or they visit your blog to be relieved of stress. I love hearing from my readers. That HAS to be THE most gratifying aspect!!

Since mine is a personal blog – I love the way writing it, responding to comments has made me more communicative. I have opened out and become more comfortable with my self. Moreover, I have become a narcissist, and when I am depressed, I read my own posts and laugh.

The comments, the feedback and when someone tells you that what you wrote helped them.

The daily wonder of finding out that there are people who read my blog regularly.

Blogging is cathartic. Injustice and cruelty bothers me. I feel there’s always something we can do. When we can do nothing else, we can create awareness.

A comment that says “You made me smile” or “You made me think“. I am happy when the latter happens and positively thrilled when the former happens.*

I think that over the years, my blog, or ‘the bar’ as I call it has become an adda of sorts for like-minded people. Even though many of us have never met one another, it’s like one big gang of friends! I love that.

I hope that I am able to convince more marketers to look at social media more holistically.

Sidin Vadukut

Once every year, on average, I get an email from someone who says that reading some of the humour on my blog helped them cope with a period of personal difficulty. Sometimes this turmoil is at work but most times in their homes. And then they tell me how much the blog helped them to laugh and cope with this.

I blog because its comforting to know that I am not alone in my fears and in my dreams. That there are others who share so many of the same with me. I blog simply because I need affirmation that humanity is alive and kicking.

My blog many a times becomes my own counsel as also to my friends when they read it.
