• Tell us a bit about yourself.
  It’s me, Rahul Banker. People usually know me by my last name as its a kind of a unique one. As they say, “If you want the job to be done quickly, give it to a lazy person and they’ll find a fast, short and smart way to do it” and that is what makes me a blogger. Accidental blogger and now it has become my world and the love of my life! Blogging has made me evolve my personality, my point of view and has made me believe in myself. Started 2 years back with http://thecopypasteblog.com and now I’ve recently launched my new big thing called http://skotgat.com with which I have some big plans and dreams set. Cricket, photography is my passion and how can I forget my love about collecting quotes! I’m a quote buff and you might be knowing this already if you’ve been already following me on twitter @bankerrahul
   
• What are your thought about WordPress Community in India?
  
  Currently in India, I know hundreds of bloggers using WordPress and many joining gradually and they all use WordPress but they don’t have enough knowledge of how they can mould WordPress and get it use to its full extent so even when there are many users, it is still in its basic part only. People still don’t know the real power of WordPress.
   
• Topic on which you are speaking?
  Well, I will be giving a motivational speech (something I love) for newbie bloggers, some important blogging tips, ethics to follow and also some insights about SEO and how blogging can be chosen as a career.
   
• Why you decided to be a part of WC Jabalpur?
  This is going to be the first conference I will be attending since I started blogging and It was recommended to me by one of my friend so its just my curiosity to meet new people has made me become a part of this and I’m looking forward to know what it has got!
   
• What are you mostly looking forward to during this WC Jbp?
  MAs I said, its my curiosity to connect with new people which is making me attend this and I am sure I am going to learn some new things from this WC and looking forward to it as of now.
   
• Who in WP community inspires you most and why?
  I am my own inspiration. There are many from whom I take help, advices but at the end of the day, its me and only me from whom I get new ideas, innovative ways to do things and lots of motivation to do well when I wake up the next morning.
   
• A one line advice you would like to give people about WordPress.
  Go out, play with WordPress and try to find out the real power of WordPress. It can make you forget HTML!
