Any blog post got a proper shape with the comments on it. Without comments a blog post can turn to dead-metaphor. To be sure, all the great blogger valued their blog reader who occasionally and/or regularly put comments (i.e. reader's view on the subject matter) on the blog posts.
Recently I had commented on Michael Bolton's blog post "Testers: Get Out of the Quality Assurance Business" but was not published and sent a mail to me "Hi Selim...It's not that I haven't published your comments because they're bad. I haven't published them because they're so good, and they're worthy of a thoughtful reply. I haven't done that yet, but I will. Cheers,---Michael B".
---I was surprised how a great blogger gave importance to his ordinary blog reader and also gave importance to any comment on his post.
After couple of days Michael Bolton posted a separate post to answer my question in response to my comment starting with the kind words like “Here’s a case where a comment and question were worthy of a post of their own”. Here is the link of that post http://www.developsense.com/blog/2010/06/doing-development-work-vs-doing-quality-assurance/
What a great effort done by a great mentor in the field of testing for an unknown tester!!Recently I had commented on Michael Bolton's blog post "Testers: Get Out of the Quality Assurance Business" but was not published and sent a mail to me "Hi Selim...It's not that I haven't published your comments because they're bad. I haven't published them because they're so good, and they're worthy of a thoughtful reply. I haven't done that yet, but I will. Cheers,---Michael B".

Also i should appreciate blogger like Pradeep Soundararajan, always i got quick response from him whenever i put any comment to his blog post or send any mail to him or for any instant messages.
What I conceived, commenting/questioning is the most beneficial way to eliminate misunderstanding/misconception and also it is a easy manner for stating my thoughts to get expert opinion against my thoughts. I believe, if my comment/question is not that much worst then it will be responded by author or even from other readers which will assist me to assess my thoughts. In one response Michael Bolton said “responding to comments is a reward in itself”, which is true indeed.
What i'm trying by this post, is to inspire Bangladeshi testers (who are silent) to read famous testing blogs and start commenting/questioning based on your own thinking and understanding, even start own blog. By this way Bangladeshi testers can be known to the world of testing community.

Hi Selim,
You are absolutely right - Comments are worthy for any blog post.
The comments really helps to motivate the author to go ahead, they can be a reason of a debate/discussion and even research. It also helps to understand the reader's point of view. In short, they help the author in understanding the subject.
Thanks for great post :)
@Mohit,
Thanks for your comment. Admittedly, this comment is very special to me because it very first comment in any of my blog post :)
@Selim,
Great post and thanks for changing the comment setting so that now I can post comments on your blog *smiles*.
You are right about comments and your readers help you in learning as well sometimes. Also it is a motivating factor as Mohit mentioned in his comment which takes you to write more *smiles*.
This was interesting post - Many of us know this point but you published it *Thumbs up*.
Thanks,

@Santhosh,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, it is true that comments are motivating factor as well as we can learn something from the reader's comments, those i didn't mention in my post. By this post my intention is to inspire Bangladeshi testers to do that (who are silent).
Thanks again,
- Selim
@Selim,
You are doing a fantastic work. Keep it up. And also you can get few Bangladeshi testers at uTest community. There is a local discussions group which one of the Bangladeshi tester has started whose name is Ashik ( He is known by scornik username at uTest forums ). I think you guys can team up and start cool initiatives in your location and rock.
Thanks,

Selim Mia,
Here you go, a COMMENT :) (Just kidding)
I completely agree with you that comments help, motivate, and inspire the blog authors. And you my friend you deserve a comment from all of us at the BWST2. You to me are one of the very passionate software testers around, which was evident when you came down to our city for BWST2.
Selim how about you also start a Bangladeshi chapter of Weekend Testing? I would be very happy to help you with the Bangladeshi chapter. May be we could influence more passionate testers from your region.
Regards,
Sharath
@Sharath,
Thanks for your comments.
It was my pleasure to be part of BWST2 and obviously it was very good learning experience for me.
About Weekend Testing chapter, i already discussed in our local testing community about WT Dhaka chapter and also trying to increase weekend testers in Dhaka to run Dhaka chapter successfully but it may take some times.
Regards,

It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
Nursery
For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money.

Diet food
Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
Thus think over this concept and go ahead.
