BG- When did you start blogging and what was your motivation behind starting the same?
Sundari- I started blogging in 2012 when I was in maternity leave. But I wrote just 2 posts and took a long break to learn about blogging. In 2013, I started writing posts actively after learning a lot about blogging.
I worked for 6 years in IT industry before resigning my job to take care of my kid. But I wanted to do something fruitful that too from home. I am always curious about trying different recipes. So, it was easy for me to start a food blog since I had to write only what I was doing at home. After writing few posts, I realised that blogging is the perfect profession for me.
BG- Can you give us an idea on the theme of your blog ( Pink and Pink) and what kind of content your readers love?
Sundari- I started PinkandPink as a food blog. But I started sharing simple home remedies and whatever I felt worth of sharing.
Now PinkandPink is a website where you can find useful recipes, beauty tips, home remedies, fashion topics, parenting tips, product reviews and many more which are helpful for every diva.
Recipes and home remedies are the topics that most of the readers love to read.
BG- How much time do you keep for blogging on a weekly basis?
Sundari- I spend 2-3 hours everyday for my blog on daily basis. Either I will be writing a blog post or working on other background works in the blog like design changes. On an average, I publish 3-4 blog posts per week. If there are no recent posts in my blog, it means that I am busy with my family and personal work.
BG- What are the top three lessons that you have learnt in your journey so far?
