In this episode of The Hema Zone Podcast, host Hema Ramanathan speaks with Suresh Subrahmanyan, a former corporate communications professional turned prolific blogger and columnist. Suresh has written a blog post every week for over five years without a break, driven purely by his love for writing. We discuss his journey from advertising and corporate life to blogging, the difference between writing for newspapers versus personal blogs, and how satire and understated humour shape his work. Drawing inspiration from British writers like P.G. Wodehouse and Kingsley Amis, Suresh talks about reading, consistency, self-publishing, and why column writing suits him better than novels. This conversation explores creativity without chasing fame, building a personal writing practice, and finding fulfilment in sustained creative work—making it a must-watch for writers, bloggers, and creators at any stage of life.
