My firstborn gave me the title of Cybermom when I began nagging him through emails while he was in college. The rest of the family also complained that I nagged. I can’t help it; it is part of me. But what with the boys having flown the coop, the poor Lord and Master (L&M) was left to bear the brunt of all that nagging. Then the younger one came home on a holiday and had a brainwave. He started a blog for me so that I could go online and nag the world at large! When he asked me to give a name to the blog, I didn’t have to think twice – and so Cyber Nag was born.
On my blog, I nag about things that affect me in some way and consequently I make others react with a post on it. Sometimes the Cyber Nag will take you back in time; at others you might just be living through the event; you will think, cry and you will laugh with me too.
I have written stories for children which have been published in many anthologies. I have also written two books for children published by the National Book Trust of India and translated into six Indian languages. That’s enough of bragging, I guess 🙂
Welcome to my space, read my posts and do give me your comments and criticisms so that I can come back and nag you some more!
The Cybernag 
Congratulations!! Wonderful work of creativity and writing. Keep up the good work of enriching the readers with cultural nuances.

Hi Zephyr. I am really glad I found your blog. I wrote the article on Deepak Amembal on Senior World. I completely agree with you that veterans should be positively represented. In that effort we are running our blog. We would be very grateful if you could contribute as a guest blogger. If you are interested, you can contact me at biswashree.dey@seniorworld.in

Your ‘about me’ page has the most comments I have ever seen on any blog. Not only are they a testimony to the love everyone has for you but also, lets face it, because people want to learn how to nag effectively. The Indian education system being deplorably inadequate in this area, one finds no teachers to teach this very alluring art. I do believe you have create a unique niche for yourself Zephyr! I am impressed out of my socks!
I am VERY pleased I sought your blog today. This is going to be a fun place for me, I know. Now for some posts!

Great to have made the connect, as they would say, Dagny 🙂 I have a new blog to read regularly in yours too.

I agree about WP comments.

I was wondering who Zephyr266 was and now I have found you, Cybernagging could be a little bit risky inside My Gothic Realm but guess what? I am going to let you in and see if my Skeletons take to you, of course the Zombies can be a tad aggressive but as I have already mentioned that you will be calling by, I think that you should be reasonably safe, just watch out for the Vampires… Perhaps bringing a pack of garlic chewing gum could be useful but that is optional 🙂 I hope that when you call by that you enjoy your adventure, but remember my Space is rated as an eighteens and above so there could be something naughty, or even a tad wicked inside so you have been warned 🙂 lol
Be good now and enjoy your weekend 🙂

[…] Zephyr is one blogger that I admire tremendously, I have never come away from her blog without getting some insight into an issue, a topic and even myself. So when she asked me to write a guest post for her, I was flattered. So flattered that I said yes. And then when I realised what I had said yes to, I panicked. How could I write as well as her? What could I write? Then the nail chewing began. Then excuses about a heavy workload were conveyed. Then request for additional time to write the post was submitted. […]
