Hey! I’m Govind.
The name ‘The Fiery Fawkes’ is just a mere conversation starter for this marketing blog of mine, but the name has its own purpose too.
So, why ‘The Fiery Fawkes’?
Well, the basic Google Search will give you two suggestions
1) Guy Fawkes (Gun Powder Plot, the origin of Vendetta Masks)
2) Albus Dumbledore’s Phoenix, Fawkes
If you’ve noticed the logo, you would have guessed that the blog is named after the highly intelligent Phoenix.
Growing up, the phrase “Rising from the ashes” has influenced me a lot. Though I’ve failed numerous times, each time I would shrug it off and move on, with the desire to give my best and achieve something in life. And, JK Rowling and the Harry Potter series has been a source of inspiration, right from my UG days (Yes, I joined the HP bandwagon a bit too late, Sigh!!!)
Fawkes has limited presence in the series, but was instrumental in helping Harry defeat Salazar Slytherin’s basilisk inside the Chamber of Secrets, and swallowed a killing curse intended for Dumbledore, during Dumbledore’s fight against Lord Voldemort during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, making him extremely loyal and courageous. Two of his tail-feathers fashioned into the cores of two wands, which belonged to two of the greatest wizards, Harry Potter and Tom Riddle (Voldemort), exclaiming the fact that he was extremely fierce and powerful.
Now, that was a lot of Harry Potter to fathom, but you might’ve understood atleast something about who I’m as a person (Or atleast aspires to be).
If you’ve skipped right to the end, let me just come to the point
