This is some news making the rounds in last 2-3 days. All this time, we had been talking about being genuine in our blogs, writing things we have knowledge and interest in, and overall speaking from our heart and mind and soul and blah blah !

| Anupam Mukherji |
Here is an example where being fake also pays! Anupam Mukherji, a Delhi boy and working as a freelance advertiser in Bangalore used to write a blog with the name of FAKE IPL PLAYER when IPL 2 started and wrote on till now. He became a hot favourite among the cricket fans (which are huge in numbers anywhere in the world) and has a follower list of 8,434 bloggers/users! He used to give the inside stories about the cricket world and players, and fans started believing him.
When asked how did he manage all this, he replied that he was inspired by the movie "Hoax" and only with the help of Internet and TV did he mange to be a sensation in the cricket world and became a talked about blogger! On gaining popularity, he even wrote a book "The gamechangers" (well, quite a game player!)
This is an amazing success for a blogger, no doubt. Now, he is out of the anonymity, I mean he decided to and he is on the front page of The Times of India (29 Aug 2010) for the world to know that the fake IPL player was actually Fake.
This is quite an achievement, whatever way, but he is popular because of his tact and his mind.
As a blogger, I feel elated! whenever I read about a blogger achieving in some way, it definitely brings a smile on my face!
Cheers to Blogging and all the bloggers!
