I have many friends and unfortunately none of them blogs. I have told those friends couple of times that I can help you in blogging and launching your blog. Fortunately no one took it seriously! So I thought to stop guiding and inviting people to learn blogging for a while.
A friend of mine from tennis club Inam ul Haq who has played tennis with me, came to my mind. I have told him earlier about my blogging and he was little interesting and curious to know about the basics of blogging. The idea came to my mind to interview him about a blogging invite. I have talked to him couple of times about blogging, but this was quite official and in detail.
So I planned an Email Interview with him. I made an email questionnaire and sent to him. He also got little surprised and happy that I took that step and he responded me quite happily and positively.
I also got happy to see his interest and that gives me satisfaction. I mean a medical doctor won’t ask anyone to come to hospital to learn medical tips, a businessman won’t hire anyone to teach business to someone or just to train someone unless he needs someone as a trainee. It’s a beauty of Blogging field that bloggers like to help new bloggers and want people to start blogging. I always like that thing and same is the case with me, I love to tell people about blogging.
Lets come back to the interview. Have a look on the interview:
