FAQ

Almost every day, I receive questions about my various activities, be it work or the many projects that I undertake. The questions come from CEOs, Marketing professionals, PR executives, teachers, parents, college students. And since I speak profusely, either in Media or at conferences, a flurry of questions always greet me upon my return to the office.

Initially, I sought to answer each question individually. There were not that many; I learned from and enjoyed the process. More recently, however, it has become impossible to answer all of the questions individually, even with staff help. Routinely, I refer individuals to my writings. I have drafted generic letters that answer the most frequent questions. But now I just find it convenient to point them to this FAQ page which I soon hope to make it quite exhaustive.

When an interesting and novel question arises, I attempt to write an answer of some length and then include it here.

  1. Can you design a personal site for me for free ?
    Sorry pal…I’m not exactly the mother theresa kinda guy.
  2. What if i pay you ?
    Ahh ! Now you are talking. Buzz me and we’ll start over. But I’d encourage you to build your site with your own hands though.
  3. What did you use to build your website ?
    Combination of Macromedia Dreamweaver , Adobe Photoshop, Blogger, AceFTP, YACCS, Atomz with generous doses of enthusiasm.
  4. I sent you an email. Why don’t you reply ?
    oh you did? Hmm…I usually am prompt in replying unless I totally missed out your mail. I get tons of spam and it would be a good way to write a descriptive subject line instead of just ‘Hi’.
  5. Are you the guy who organised Chennai’s first bloggers meet ?
    Yup, that’s me. I did the second edition too.
  6. I heard you actually cycle 21 kms everday to and from office. You must be kidding, right ?
    Wrong. I *love* cycling and find it a great way to travel to work. I actually cycle 26 kms everyday to and from work.
  7. Hey, what happened to Kirubashankar.com?
    I let go of that domain name. Didn’t want to keep paying the annual domain fees. Besides, I perfer the shorter domain, Kiruba.com.
  8. Do you still write for the computer magazines?
    I’ve kinda eased down on my writings over the last few years. That’s not good. I plan to get back to serious writing.
