If there is one trait that encapsulates the essence of Manu Prasad’s plethora of achievements, it is undoubtedly the gift of the gab. It shouldn’t ideally come as a total surprise for someone who has close to a decade of experience in broadband/satellite, radio and media companies. Add to this existing list, a consultant on a popular tabloid’s editorial content where he writes reviews of restaurants and various start-ups. Quite an enviable ensemble of talent, if you ask us.

Manu describes himself in his ‘About’ section of his blog in a third person narrative that is sure to leave the reader in splits, if not in awe. With his signature mark of a devil emitting what appears to be signals (the alphabet – M), it is quite hard for him to go unnoticed.

As a person who is acing his personal and professional life, he sure knows where to draw the line. This is evident enough from the host of blogs he maintains despite his tight schedule. The presence of a dedicated work related blog alongside a personal blog where he documents his experiences tells it all. In fact one of his primary blogs has clear headers, namely work, life and balance. Each of them redirect to an entirely different set of experience for a reader.

Aesthetically, the blogs are well laid out and distinctly different in look and feel to resonate with the content and posts that go into them. The post titles are ingeniously clever. Images and videos supplement the nature of the post. The language is slick and laden with humour in most cases. The first person narrative in most posts is gripping enough for one to come back more. These attributes, although abundantly spoken of, are along the guiding principles of a genuine blogger are seldom practiced by a whole lot of existing people. We, on the other hand find it befitting to crown him with our very own title of the bloggerati of the fortnight.
