is for Interview
Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
I
am Philip Verghese ‘Ariel’, a native of Kerala, commonly known as the “God’s
Own Country”. Born and brought up in the villages of Pothanicadu,
near Moovattupuzha and Valanjavattom near Thiruvalla, Kerala,
India. Presently I am working in a Christian Organization as an
editor to its publication division. I started blogging, (not exactly
blogging) writing at a very young age. Started writing Malayalam
poems, articles and stories. And a good number of them were
published in the leading Malayalam publications like the Malayalam Manorama
Daily, Balarama, Deepika Daily, Kuttikalude Deepika, Balayugam, Poompaatta,
Balabhoomi etc My main genre is spiritual or religious ones, and I published a
good number of articles, and poems in the print media. At a
later stage I entered into the secular field and published many number of
letters, stories and poems in English and in Malayalam languages. . I was
a regular contributor to major English publications like India Today, The Week,
Outlook, The Open Magazine, Tehelka and The Sunday Indian
etc. And at a later stage one of my colleagues suggested me to
write on web pages or to start a blog page of your own. I thought, it a good
idea to start a blog page of my own. And I did a search and found out few
platforms and started posting materials to them and finally concentrated on
Google’s Knol pages and then Google’s blogger pages. And
now I am regularly post blogs in my English (Philipscom) and Malayalam blogs
(Arielinte kurippukal – Ariel’s Jottings). Some of my writings
translated into Hindi and Telugu languages.
