Desi Blogging Cafe is Open Now!

Welcome to Gauravonomics! Subscribe to my RSS feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss my posts on marketing, technology and social media.

Yesterday, I played a trick on you that TV channels all over the world have perfected -

I’m pleased to announce that I have finally found a format for the ‘Desi Blog of the Day’ series I am fully satisfied with. It’s intimate, it’s interesting, it’s insightful, and it has never been done in desi blogging before.

And now that I have your full attention, I’ll leave you precariously balanced at the edge of your chairs, until tomorrow. :-)

Watch out for Desi Blogging Cafe!

Today, instead of teasing you more, I’ll give you - (music building up into a crescendo) Desi Blogging Cafe (loud applause)!

Desiblogging Cafe

Have you ever wanted to know more about your favorite desi bloggers? Have you ever wished that you could ask them how they started blogging, what they have learned from blogging, even how much money they make from blogging(!)? Have you ever wondered if they are as interesting in real life as they are on their blogs?

If the answers to those three questions is ‘yes’, you would love ‘Desi Blogging Cafe’! Because, at ‘Desi Blogging Cafe’!, you’ll get to know your favorite desi bloggers like you have never known them before!

And, yes, the answer to the third question above is ‘yes’! Most of my favorite desi bloggers are indeed as interesting in real life as they are on their blogs, if not even more interesting!

So, What is ‘Desi Blogging Cafe’?

‘Desi Blogging Cafe’ is what my blog will become once every day, starting now! A cafe is about catching up with friends, about freewheeling back-and-forth banter, about striking up conversations with complete strangers. ‘Desi Blogging Cafe’ will have all that, and more!

Every day, for the next 100 days, I’ll interview one desi blogger on my blog (yes, I did think of ‘Coffee with Karan’, all you Bollywood fans!) and, sometimes, I’ll even interview two together, or three, or more.

Sometimes, I’ll ask them my ‘eleven Desi Blogging Cafe questions’. Sometimes, I’ll put aside these questions and ask them other questions. Sometimes, I’ll let you ask them questions. Sometimes, I’ll let them ask me questions.

‘Desi Blogging Cafe’ will start as a simple post with a photo, but will eventually evolve into a podcast, or even a videoblog! Who knows? The possibilities are endless!

Excited? Let me know. Not really excited? Let me know. Not excited at all? Also let me know.

‘Desi Blogging Cafe’ is open now! Do walk in tomorrow for (virtual) coffee and (real) conversation with your favorite bloggers!
