Speakbindas: Hello Gaganpreet, welcome to Speakbindas. Beepthegeek is truly a unique name. Tell us, what is it all about? When did you start the same?

Gaganpreet Singh: Hi! I’m honoured! Oh thanks, well this is all about giving wings to the ideas within. There had been a zeal to come out at large but all I can say is that as a matter of chance, rather god’s grace, it shaped into reality in April 2009. Its about making things simple as they are, what’s the use of a man-made thing that a man cant get at all, computer through a lay man’s eye is what I refer to here.

Speakbindas: Is blogging for you a full time profession? Or otherwise? How much hard work you think it takes to handle a blog with regulary updation?

Gaganpreet Singh: oh no it is’nt but is my religion. You don’t have to have it all the time but never gets out of your subconscious mind. According to me working smart yields better.

Speakbindas: Recently, as per the Alexa stats, Beepthegeek’s graph is going UP. What are the driving forces behind traffic generation?

Gaganpreet Singh: as of now, i really don’t think it was a big time bond strategy that worked for us. Dedication and the effort to read the reader’s mind has helped us with numbers.

Speakbindas: For the most freelance bloggers, generating ‘salary’ type revenue is a dream. How is that in your case? You have crossed that barrier by having regular salar’s level revenue through your blog?
Gaganpreet Singh: money was never a priority. Had it been so, I would have been with my cousins working abroad and shelling Benjamin Franklins. Well it’s a necessity and nothing more than that.

Speakbindas: Is it you alone who handles this blog, or you have co-authors as well?
Gaganpreet Singh: its two to tango! I have my friend Mr. Harinder Deep Singh Bains as a co-author , he may run out of air but not of ideas. His zenith advisory has helped me largely and I may say its more of a team effort that made you interview me on behalf of our dia-team.

Speakbindas: Apart from blogging, are you into a full time job as well? Tell us about it.
Gaganpreet Singh: I am 20 years old, if you have a job, do hire me and Harinder as well. Lol, I am pursuing my bachelors in computer science engineering.

Speakbindas: Which city you live in? Tell us about the places to see in your city.
Gaganpreet Singh: I live in Chandigarh. Its each corner is worth visiting. The clean and green city is the capital of Punjab an Haryana, also holds the status of a union territory aswell. To name a few, rock garden, sukhna lake, rose garden, sector-17 plaza, the open hand, Punjab university top the list as far as tourists are concerned.

Speakbindas: Are you a man with principles or you tackle the things as it comes?
Gaganpreet Singh: this question makes me think. Hmm… I do have my principles but have never been put to test. And as a part of my journey, my life, I don’t think if I may survive without them. I do have to answer my conscious when to bed each night.

Speakbindas: Which movies are your favorites?
Gaganpreet Singh: I’ve seen many having different contrast. It wont be feasible writing a few. There’s no comparison between apples and oranges so as to say.

Speakbindas: Any special message you would like share with Beepthegeek’s fans and readers?

And I guess I should cut it now, I might have been on your nerves for the past ten minutes. and please don’t forget to give your kind testimony to our posts.
