Avani Mehta, is the first Gujarati “she” blogger to feature on GujaratiBloggers.com.

Blogging is AvAni’s passion.

Just read what she says: “I have now fallen in love with blogging and am very passionate about it.”

At her blog Avani-Mehta.com, Avani writes about books, growth, sleep, problem solving and many more topics.

How It All Began

Avani Mehta started her first blog in 2005 but stopped after a few months. She picked up blogging again in March’08.

AND within three months she got hooked to it and decided to take it up on a professional level. That’s how she launched her current blog - Avani-Mehta [www.avani-
mehta.com]  in June’08.

Why Blogging?

Avani writes blogs for the reasons like:

• to share her learnings
• make a difference in lives of others
• connect with people
• make new friends; and
• create a source of income.

How Blogging Benefits Avani

According to Avani, Blogging has helped her hone her creativity and writing skills.

Avani speaks: “Blogging has made me hone my creative and writing skills. At times I surprise myself with the depth of thoughts and different ideas I pick up from day to day situations - all credit to blogging. It is fun to get in touch with like minded people and interact with them. In no time, I have started to make some great friends online.

One interesting observation about the blogging world is that it is an exact replica of the real world. So even though I am learning about blogging, I am actually learning skills which could be applied anywhere.”

Most Successful Blog

Avani writes on one blog and that is Avani-Mehta.com.
