About Me
This is always an interesting question, with answer varying at various stages of life. This is a personal blog so I would not mention the super cool work I might have done in the past or might be doing now. So leaving aside the bio part, contemplating an 'About Me' might become a bit challenging. But then there have been times when I exactly knew that answer.
Age 1-10
A superhero just waiting to discover his superpowers
Age 10-15
A potential Peter Parker just waiting to be bitten by the right spider ( kindly note the improvement as in this shows clarity in objectives gained over a short period of time)
Age 15-18
Realized that spiderman does not have a market in India because of dearth of skyscrapers ( as in who wants to run on roads!! ).. so I decided to just do engineering.
Age 23 (Just before on campus job interview)
I am a smart and hardworking guy who can learn things fast. I am a team person and have leadership qualities. I believe in ... wait a second....hmm... what did I mug up last night!!!
Age 24
A superhero just waiting to discover his superpowers
(btw I have discovered that I can sleep a lot in a go and then stay awake for days.. does that count!)
FAQ's about me
Below you will find some frequently asked questions about me. This will help readers save some time once they fall upon this blog.

Why do you blog?
Oh! There is no one answer to this question. I started blogging in 2007 when I realized that it a great way of communication and expression (and passing time since Campus magazine used to take months to publish)... but then people started saying that they liked my blog and hence I started writing for the sake of others who liked it. Then college ended and so did the following so now I basically write for myself.
What do you do for a living?
Although a lot of stuff in this blog might appear funny and non-serious but then I do a pretty serious job in daytime.I work as an Associate Consultant in a super cool social business strategy firm. That means establishing presence on social web, leveraging social media to fulfil business needs, building online communities etc.
However this blog is more about sitting on a bean bag in my house or with a cup of coffee at Barista and writing about stuff which I think I can write well.
Why name the blog 'Keeping it simple'?
'Keeping it simple' because this blog is for everybody. I try to make it as simple as possible for one reason that I think it will take me some more time for me to start writing stuff which will go above people's heads. However as of now it is better to keep things easy. I will try to stay away from all sorts of 'funde' to the best of my abilities and try to keep on bringing you some interesting read.
About the blog
In my college days (and that's not long ago).. I used to write on thoughtspot which was my first blog. This is the same blog but just with a face lift. Moreover that was a blogspot blog while this is more like an owned domain.
Thoughtspot mostly used to have society humor, however lately I thought why limit myself to society humor when I can also write a lot about stuff like Social Media and Marketing & Brands. Hence in this blog you will find posts on all the three topics.
So please subscribe to the post and keep commenting.
