A Memoir - This Month Last Year - May 2021 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

May 2021 was the time when the lockdown opened for a little while and a lot of virtual and in-person events started to happen. The first one I attended was the one for High Tea at Hype Park Corner where I also got my first Le Creuset mug as well. I won the various contests on Facebook for LG FN7 earbuds to Instax Superfan Contest on Mother's Day and on Twitter as well which kept me motivated during 2021. I was invited to the AC DC Express store and got some goodies there as well. I also got nice goodies from Huawei for the 947 Joburg Day too.

1. 3 Million Pageviews on www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - It takes time to build up your following and pageviews on your blog. I am in my 10th year of The Life's Way and I am sure I am going to reach 4 Million by 27th December 2022 when it will be time to cut the cake of 10 Years of The Life's Way. I may have not earned anything from The Life's Way in terms of actual currency but in the notional currency terms, I have earned a lot. But does notional value brings food to the table - Definitely NO! Currently, I am hanging around 3.69 Million and the flow has been slower as I am more focussed on my Youtube channel. Will it be possible to do the 0.31 million page views in the next 6 months only time will tell?

2. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - May 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - I did a lot of posts in the previous year during the first lockdown. This post reviews all the ones I did during those days. You will find a lot of links to those posts and can enjoy the same.

3. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Apr 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - The photo posts continued which were also shared on Google Connect Local Guides channel as well. It did fetch me a lot of support from the Local Guides community too. It made me take my number of posts on Google's platform to around 100 or so in a small amount of time.

4. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Mar 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - I started reviewing a lot of products as well as photo posts from various locations around the world. I did a lot of posts for Dubai based on all the locations I visited during my trip in 2020. Dubai trip I really loved as I found it to be an amazing city worth living but you need to be earning in Dirham's as compared to going and spending there in some other currency, especially ZAR.

5. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Feb 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - Feb 2020 was still the time when I was travelling back from India and UAE. I totally loved the same with my family. It was a fun time but also my onsite deputation ended leaving me hanging on the African shores with Indian income which was really trying but thanks to the job of my wife, we could carry on with our savings and the same lasted for around 10 months. Always you should have a savings balance which can last you a year long. Lesson Learned.

I watched a lot of web series during this time from Tripling Season 2 to Superman and Lois Season 1 to Lupin Season 1 to Permanent Roommates Season 1 to The Last Hour to Pati Patni Aur Panga to Runaway Lugai to November Story to Radhe movie to Sardar ka Grandson to Road of the Lions to LOL Hasee to Phasse to Wrath of Man to Tom Clancy Total Remorse and so much more in a single month.

Cheers!!!
