Behind The Scenes…

Hello! My name is Karan Goel and I am the Founder and Editor of GeekZu.com. I am a 17 year-old blogger from India.

I have been blogging since late 2006. My first blog was a free blogger blog on which I used to blog about Mobiles. Even though I was totally new to Blogging and other related stuff, I had that passion and will that pushed me forward.

I like everything that a normal teen would like – studying, playing, hanging out, bunking classes, girls (I don’t have one, though) etc. It’s just that I am into Internet and Computers more that any of my friends or relatives. None of my friends have a website or a personal homepage online – and they don’t want to either. For them, life begins at school and ends at a good 9-to-5 job – “enough to support their family”.

I am a bit different. For me, a person who isn’t present on the blogosphere, isn’t alive. Believe me, that might be a harsh statement, but it’s true.

The 6-Years’ Wait!

I got my first computer in 2003.  I had no internet connection for the first 2 years and used it just to play games, or complete some schools projects. Then, my father gave me a magical thing – a dial-up internet connection. I know you might be laughing out there, but it was something great to me. From then, my web-life began.

Slowly, I experimented with my PC (Improvements down below) to know more about it. I surfed as much as I could – and as less too – it’s a dial-up connection .

Then in June 2008, I had my first ever Broadband connection. My life changed after that. I began learning more about the Internet. As I learned more, I started feeling that I should also give something back to others. That was the time when I started my first blog on Blogger.com.

In August 2009, I bought my first ever domain name – karangoel.in! Later, I felt that a “.in” was too much location-specific. Hence, I moved to the present dot-com.

The one man army

The About page has been too centric about just one person. There’s a reason. I am the only one who built this site, who designed it, who maintains it, and who writes here.

It’s quite a difficult task to write in such a manner and such a frequency that almost all the topics are covered. GeekZu is now open for guest-bloggers. Contact me if you want to write for us.
