Bloggerati of the Fortnight: Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

KumareshHealthcare facilities and pharmaceutical products are a very touchy area for most marketing specialists, especially when it comes to advertising and promoting them. Talking about various developments in the field of medicine, hospitals and healthcare however, is not.

Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy, who dons many hats when it comes to his illustrious career, is currently a Senior Consultant in ENT and head and neck surgery, Neurotology and Cochlear Implantation at Nova Medical Centers, Bengaluru. Besides, he is also a visiting consultant at the Apollo Hospitals.

Dr. Krishnamoorthy explores the world of healthcare by sharing some valuable tips and information about various medical conditions, procedures, treatments et al alongside his other updates on his blog http://drkumaresh.blogspot.in/ with special focus on his area of expertise. For a medical student or someone with an interest in the field of medicine this blog is quite a repository of handy details with an outlook that is akin to that of a medical journal. Ofcourse, it also has Dr. Krishnamoorthy’s personal tryst with various other topics, directly or indirectly related to medicine and his experiences. A few of them are even testimonials of his proven credibility.

The blog also contains images that are linked to his Facebook and Google+ page of various medical treatments and ailments alongside addressing the latest developments that are happening around the world, not necessarily restricted to just medical affairs. Dr. Krishnamoorthy’s blog, although a specific industry-centric one, has definitely made it a point to prove that a doctor by profession does not necessarily need to always talk hospitals, drugs and health but also have a wholesome grip of other aspects of surrounding conditions and situations that go into creating a healthy living scenario. All this entitles him to be featured as our Bloggerati of the fortnight.

Bloggerati of the Fortnight: Rhea Purnita Paine

Monday, January 16th, 2012

clip_image002There are bloggers who try to do too many things and destroy their blog. Then there are bloggers who are so specific and niche that until they talk about matters you follow closely, you wouldn’t want to return to them. A good blog is one that can balance the need to be refreshing without doing too much. One such blog, Rheality Rings by Rhea Purnita Paine, is a classic example of a blog that reinvents itself with every post without losing its character.

Part rebel, part child, Rhea is a brilliant writer, photographer, doodler, sketcher and dreamer at large. Her interests are simply stated as ‘Living’ and live she does. It is for this reason that her blog also comes across alive. While you go through her pages, you feel a sense of life in each post. Be it the photo tour of India in ‘India on the move’ or the sketches in her ‘Arty Farty’ section, they all breath and come across with their individual stories.

                      clip_image004

It makes for a compelling reading. What it also does is makes you want to experience the thing you read about, yourself. And that is the true sign of a great blog. While you see the pictures from the gallery simply stated as ‘On way from the airport to Nandi Hills on a bike’ you would actually want to take that journey. The photographs are so alluring, it is impossible to escape the desire to experience the ride yourself.

Empty Ness
Vanessa do you know
they sold you an empty glass for a muse
An ashtray full of ruse
A pipe gone obtuse
Thought you’d be amused.
Instead you ended up used.
I knew her once
My Empty Ness of dreams
I knew her once
My Empty Ness in screams
I knew her once
My Empty Ness it seems

Even her writing is exemplary. The poems Rhea has penned are absolutely gripping. ‘Empty Ness’ is amongst one of her best written pieces. It tells a story that many would relate to, yet it brings out her experience in the simplest manner without losing the depth of the matter. Her command over the words make it that much more binding, compelling you to finish what you start reading. And that compels us to bestow the ‘Bloggerati of the Fortnight‘ title on her.

Bloggerati of the Fortnight: Rohit Sareen

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

rohit_sareenTravel and Photography they say are inseparable. One such blogger who has aptly justified this statement’s sanctity is Rohit Sareen. Even his blog name, ‘My Third Eye’ symbolizes that. In his own words, he sees himself as an engineer by degree, a manger by profession and an avid traveler, photographer and writer by passion who loves the rush of formula one and the thrill of movies.

This Mumbaikar’s blog is a traveler’s delight and a photographer’s encyclopedia woven in an artistic style that makes readers take notice and compels them to see it through till the end. The photo quality is superior and forms a good second hand exposure for anyone who might be willing to travel to that destination and doing some research on various aspects of the place.

Rohit, in a trademark first person narrative, has beautifully captured the charm of every place he has visited and thoughtfully documented it so as to give a glimpse into the socio cultural elements prevalent in the regions. Top it up with a smart ‘you might also like’ for a viewer who might have similar interests in a thumbnail format and you have a perfect dose of good reading and social sharing.

The site looks pretty captivating primarily because of the presence of High Definition images that are copyrighted by Rohit and posted. Also, the organization of the information is pretty slick too. From starting a blog because it was a cool thing to do to making it a serious attempt, Rohit has driven his blog a long way. No wonder Rohit has garnered some 30,000 views to his blog.

The ability to provide a great experience for those who have not been privileged enough to travel as him or those looking forward to gather some local information through surfing, entitles him to be our Bloggerati of the Fortnight.

Bloggerati of the Fortnight: Rati Tehri Singh

Monday, December 19th, 2011

RatiOur blogger of the fortnight, Rati Tehri Singh, dons many hats as a modern professional. She is currently engaged as the Director with an MBA preparation website where she works full time and administers blogs and websites that dole out study materials. Amidst all this, she also runs a highly acclaimed blog that caters to her hobby (makeup and cosmetics) via her blog ‘Indian makeup and beauty blog’. And she excels in that as well!

In her own words, Rati’s journey into the glitzy world of cosmetics began right after her marriage when she discovered that there is very little available on the blogosphere that exclusively addresses the Indian makeup scenario. Seeing it as an untapped opportunity to provide a comprehensive insight into Indian makeup for most women, Rati, took up the initiative to share her understanding of the market place.

Most of the posts on the blog are attributed to her personal experiences with a particular brand. A plethora of make-up products ranging from eye-liners, mascaras, foundations to lip-gloss, face masques, bronzers, nail polish etc. are reviewed. This provides a detailed insight for a first time usage to recommendations according to skin tone and other prerequisites to arrive at a purchase decision.

Another interesting aspect of her blogs is that wherever possible, she has given the pros and cons of the product. This gives a very brilliant and true review of each product. Also, it gives the pricing of most of the products there by letting the reader evaluate the product more personally. We also love her rating scheme which is a excellent summary of the entire review.

Rati has also used her blog to educate people on how to achieve a particular look through make up. Along with few other writers, a dedicated section on tutorials about perfect skin tone, festival looks and star looks is maintained.

All the entries are ideally supplemented with pictures of products, their packaging and a personal take by Rati herself. Written in a crisp and an easy to read manner, it gives out most relevant information in an organized format making it a very convenient read for the surfer. All this entitles Rati to be our Bloggerati of the Fortnight.

Bloggerati of the Fortnight: Manish Chauhan

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

JagoInvestor-Manish-Chauhan1If you have been reading about personal finance and financial planning on the internet, you probably know Manish Chauhan. Manish writes about financial planning at Jagoinvestor.com. He is one of the few people who has been writing about financial planning for a long time  and is furthering the cause of the small investor – a cause that is very close to his heart.

Manish started writing in Dec 2007. He likes to refer his area of work as Financial Planning rather than Personal Finance, because not only does he write on products and their reviews, but mostly on psychology required for successful financial planning and what a common person lacks, how he perceives any financial information and thinks about it .

According to Manish, “the biggest mistake people make is that they don’t value its importance in their Life, they don’t understand that Its extremely crucial in their life. I personally feel that by doing you Financial Planning, your success in your professional life and personal life becomes more valuable and easy because an important part of your life is taken care of and now you are free to take charge of other areas .”

While the subject that Manish writes about may be complicated, his writing itself is simple and easy to follow. This is a key element towards making Manish such a successful blogger. Here are few must reads as suggested by Manish himself:

Manish is fond of cooking, trekking and he likes to watch lots of TV sitting on his tongue shaped beanbag. After having authored hundreds of articles and answering over 20,000 queries in last 3 years, he has greatly contributed to the society. And for this, we proudly declare him as our Bloggerati of the Fortnight.

More treasures from our Blogger of the Fortnight series.
