Hi Guys!

I am writing this post after a long time since I left blogging for a while. Yes! It is a return 
J

this time I am going back to my old days (Not very old though), how did my Twitter Guru Indulekha guided me to start tweeting in a routine based :D
Please read the chat conversation of me and Indu had, and watch out the tips she gave me.

Indulekha: y?
me: how do I get 500 twitter followers ??
Indulekha: LOL!
me: i tried alot it aint going upper than 170
 :(
Indulekha: what's your twitter handle again?
me: nar7esh



Indulekha: Number 1 - Un-protect your tweets you fool!
me: :D
i have a doubt
when etisalat want to tweet for promotional offer, I did when its protected
but that tweets dint reach them :(
so I opened it to public

Indulekha: No men, I said make it public
 "un-protect it"
me: okays

Indulekha: haiyo haiyo :P
how do u expect ppl to follow u when u protect your tweets ah? :P
me: :D
Indulekha: aiyoooooo lol
what sort of tweets do u do?
me: tech cricket for the most part :D
Indulekha: On the twitter bio you've written this - Royalist | UCSC | Undergrad | Follower | RightHanded | LeftHandedBatting | OpenSource | SLCricketFan | MoreThan160Characters | AskMe |
me: yes
Indulekha: why do u say RightHanded?
and - MoreThan160Characters
and - AskMe ?

me: because I use to write in my right hand and bat and bowl and do rowing in my left side hand*
Indulekha: so what's the purpose of mentioning it on the twitter bio?
I mean, is it for a particular reason?
If not, take it off
me: i have nothing to write like so special :D
Indulekha: doesn't matter
me: ill wipe off the things make ugly ne
Indulekha: Royalist | UCSC | Undergrad | Follower | OpenSource | SLCricketFan | Techie | Team-Wedding Wish |http://mywish.lk
Use that :)
me: superb !
Indulekha: :)
 Now make sure you tweet at least couple of times a day
 You have twitter on your mobile?
me: yes I do
Indulekha: you got a smart phone?
me: yes I do
Indulekha: great
me: no, un-smart phone
Indulekha: then it's not that hard ne?
me: :D
Indulekha: ah..
okay lol
not android ah?
me: sms tweeting
i always be online
Indulekha: shape
still you can keep up
me: tweeting is not an issue at all
Indulekha: post at least a few times a day on topics those are relevant. FOSS, Cricket, Techie stuff
me: yep sure


Indulekha: Have a few websites that you check regularly and do the latest updates over twitter
Then converse with others...
me: hmmm
Indulekha: It's easier when you're on web of course :)
don't but into conversations too much
but when someone makes a 'statement'
And if you're interested in that topic, go ahead and ask a question.
Just don't ask dumb questions LOL!!!
 :P
kidding
hehe
Anyways,
me: i do ask dumb some times
:D
Indulekha: Once or twice, RT interesting tweets of others
me: i do
:)
Indulekha: hehe it's okay you'll learn :P
yeah I see you're already doing the right things
The biggest issue must have been the protected tweets
Oh, also,
you like photography? cuz your profile pic has you with a camera
or was it done just to cover your face?
:P
me: i do take snaps
Indulekha: Photo tweets get a lot of RTs and following
me: recently had one night outing
Indulekha: Put up some of your photos once in a while
 at least 1 in two days would be good
Admire other ppl's nice photography
RT some of them
you know?
me: :)
23:39 Indulekha: You'll get 500 before the end of the month :)
me: :)
Indulekha: Oh, and don't forget to #FF your favorite tweeps, you'll get the favor in return :)
me: hmmm sure :)
i never done that
wanna start

with your permission madam
Indulekha: LOL
 fine fine :P
me: seriously good one indu
Indulekha: If you wanna link me, link my Twitter
Not facebook k?
Or my website
me: i red some articles regarding 500 tweeps and that’s all wasters
Indulekha: I don't add ppl on FB unless I know them pretty well :P
me: your one is perfect
