Describe the main purpose of your blogging, what are you trying to accomplish?
I find that while there are tons of Indian food bloggers out there, and good ones too at that, most of them seem to be written by folks that are well-accomplished as cooks (home cooks or otherwise). I figured my blog is the kind of stuff that I'd want to read about-about cooking, about cooking verbatim from recipes, about my foibles and faux pas and about the food books that I love to read.
What blogging platform do you do and why?
Blogger? Because its the most popular one out there.
What do you blog the most about?
What I've cooked any particular day and about books I've read or and some vignette style memoirs.
What kind of blogs make you angry?
Blogs titled ruminations, or ramblings or thoughts.
