4. Q Define your struggle in few lines (mention your background, years of struggle and approx. no of projects you did)
    A. Well, as a blogger I struggled for 1 year to properly enter in the blogging industry. I learnt little seo and I also learned about linkedin through social media advertising of blog. After that in linkedin I made 1K+ followers due to my blogs and I also got some music directors as connections in linkedin. I sent them my lyrics they were happy to see and were really impressed and promised me for converting it to video but till today they didn’t convert my any lyrics to video. They ask me to move to Bombay as I am in middle of my engineering I can’t. So, they left me as it is and said we will make it into video after sometime. Why I am using they because I faced this with multiple directors.

7. Q Your first major break : 
    A. In blogging, due to my skills I remain getting offers by UK and USA based freelancing companies to join their network as a content writer. Not simple freelancing companies but the ones in which you need to apply by giving tests for very high paying projects. One such offer I got first time in around september 2018. I don’t remember the exact date.  As a lyricist, I sent my lyrics to music director who claims to work for star & sony networks and he was so impressed by my lyrics that he called me on phone and asked me to soon write a song for his upcoming video. But when he heard that I can’t move to Bombay right now, he said he will make my song after some days and those days never came.

Shah Rukh Khan for being so down to earth and an amazing human after being called as world’s biggest movie star and 2nd richest actor in world. From outside, I like Jackie Chan for dedicating such an extent of hardwork that even his bones crack regularly for making his action movies.
