"I share my experiences with my content. Thus, my experiences make my content stand out."

"When I got the opportunity to work in a TATA Housing campaign as an influencer."

  1. What does a regular day look like?

"I wake up around 8:30 in the morning. And after getting up, I start observing (everything around me), I get ready for my 10 to 6 job. While I am doing my job, ideas and topics wander in my mind. Then I come home and those ideas start taking the form of a blog post, an Instagram post, a video, a twitter thread or a book. After spending some time on that idea or topic, I end my day with an episode of a web series or a movie."

  1. How do you make moolahs?

  1. Where do you get ideas for your videos from?

"It is a bit weird but I get the idea of videos when I am travelling and commuting or when I am playing cricket.

  1. Weirdest brief ever received?

"It was from a PR company managing a smartphone campaign. They asked to send a picture holding any smartphone in one hand and any box of a smartphone in another and one edge of a smartphone and a box should be in contact with my forehead."

  1. If not an influencer, what would you be?

"An Entrepreneur."

10. Message/tips for upcoming bloggers

- Follow your heart because your mind will take you to a 9 to 5 job.
- Never do anything for free.
- Calculate your cost on the basis of the time you invest in developing your social media profiles and money you invest in the maintenance and smooth running of your website
- Decide your price after evaluating these factors.
- Some PR agencies will disparage your efforts, they will make you feel like they are the king of the market but in the real world, content is the king. So, never decrease your value or price in front of them.

They say a #picture says a #thousand words but I #believe a picture can't #describe itself without #words. The #man in this picture has played 300 ODIs for his country and just before his 300th ODI Bangladeshi players called him a #weak link. On that, I just want to say that the amount of 6s he has hit in his #career is more than the 6s hit by the whole Bangladeshi team together. Same thing is with achievements. The no of feathers he has on his cap, #Bangladesh cricket as whole is no where near him. And look who is talking about weak link jo koi bhi match jeetne ke baad 'hum honge kamyaab' ka bengali version gaate hain. There is no doubt that they are playing much better cricket but whenever they play against us, they cross their limits and they forget who they are (our #grandsons). Tomorrow this man is going to appear in @ICC final for the 7th time. No other players has played these many #ICC finals. A lot will be going on in @yuvisofficial's head. There will be #memories of that world T20 final against Sri Lanka but apart from that he has played #resounding innings in all other ICC finals. So he will be looking forward to his 7th final with lot of confidence and positivity. #Allthebest champ (@yuvisofficial)! You are the true #hero for the whole country. #IndvPak #indvspak
