Quaerendo invenietis – "By seeking, you will discover"

My inspiration behind Blogging

I first got hooked to blogging when I came across the Head First Series by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. They have an interesting blog called Creating Passionate Users. The blog is all about Passion, User friendly tech books and new-age marketing.

Then I found Presentation Zen written by Garr Reynolds. This blog not only talks about presentation, it explains the importance of Design, aesthetics and Quality in our day-to-day activities. The intriguing part about this blog is that it is simple yet effective. And yeah, I am convinced, Design is the soul of everything.

A long list of feeds followed. I started subscribing Tom Peters, Guy Kawasaki, Gaping Void, A List Apart.Reading all these blogs made me see things differently. Sometimes I disagreed with what they said and I would comment about it, which would lead to a conversation. This leads to a relationship where the reader is as much responsible as the writer about the content that he writes. I might sound a bit vague here. A detailed post about reader-writer dynamics in the blogging world will follow.

For now, my dear readers send me your favorite blogs, links or stuff you enjoy to read daily.

Ta,
