Thanks for your words. I kindly request your mentorship. So that it
will be easy for me to make my blog
(https://freeark1blog.blogspot.com) as a gateway to the Linux kernel
development.

  i dropped gregkh from this response as i don't think he's interested
in any followup, so here's my thoughts.

  i checked out a couple articles at your blog and i'm not trying to
be harsh, but there's very little useful content there. aside from the
numerous spelling mistakes, the articles are extremely superficial
and, in many cases, are imprecise to the point where it's not clear
what you're even trying to say.

  here's an example:

"Kernel is like the kernel of a nut. It is a bit difficult for an
application program to interact with the kernel directly i.e. it will
be a time consuming task to write an application program with the help
of the kernel only."

  i have no idea what that means, or what point you're trying to get
across, and most of the articles there are like that. if you want to
keep writing, that's great, do whatever you enjoy, but you're being
wildly optimistic if you want to describe your blog as a "gateway to
linux kernel development."

  if i were you, i would do less writing, and way more reading. again,
i'm not trying to discourage you, but you really need to set your
expectations appropriately.

Thanks for your time and feedback. You are right.
Except for the last two articles, all other articles were written with
the intention to introduce a layman to digital devices.
I have just resumed blogging. I will surely improve my articles
according to your feedback.
I am enthusiastic about bringing more and more developers to the Linux
community.
I wish your support in the future also.

Regards,
Amit Kumar
