Hi Friends,

8.5 Years of Blogging
300+ Brands and Companies
770 Posts Self-written content
The Life's Way started on 27-December-2012
1 Million achieved on 21-July-2016

It all started with a dream to take care of my free time and to get involved in some kind of creative pursuit so that I can find my mojo and also get into something which can take me places around the city as well as the world. I have been able to enjoy my life in the truest sense of The Life's Way and also thankful to all the brands, companies, PR agencies, People involved in all these creative industries to give me a chance to perform and be myself and promote their products from time to time. I am sure some of them I have failed, some of them are indifferent and some of them must be happy too. Over the years, I have met some people who were really happy to meet me in person and it used to astonish me as to what special I have done in their lives. I also got the opportunity to eat in certain restaurants where I would not have normally gone and also maybe won't be able to afford a meal or two but because of TheLife'sWay I was invited and enjoyed some vegetarian delicacies. I might have not drunk alcohol but if it was gifted to me some of my friends must be happy for that day when he drank that wine or champagne or whiskey.

The power of social media platform I understood in my first year of participating in the Facebook contests and then migrating to the Twitter contests soon thereafter. With a strong presence in both these platforms, I was set to achieve something big when I started my blog inspired by the journey my friends took in their collaboration with the Indiblogger platform. I wanted to win some Soul by Ludacris headphones and that was the whole purpose of starting in the blogging industry but I could not win them since today. Though I got to win a lot of prizes on the Indbiblogger platform from earphones to headphones to laptops to cash to gift vouchers and build up my creative instincts as well as knowhows of blogging and in the process meet the biggest celebrities and eat at the 5-star restaurants in India. 

When I came here just before the first anniversary of TheLife'sWay, I came upon a different kind of struggle. The internet data was too expensive and I had no social media following locally as I created another Twitter handle @thelifesway to be using especially in South Africa only. I didn't know any PR companies and any brand and even when contacting those brands they were saying you only have 62 followers. Then slowly and steadily I built up my following and after more than 6 months (Nov-2013 to Apr-2014) of struggle, I got my first chance from Sony South Africa who was instrumental in putting me with Primedia to review each and every movie released in their theatres. Throughout my next many years, I continued to watch each and every movie twice a week non-stop unless it's some kind of load-shedding happening in the area. 
3 Million Pageviews on www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay
The second thing that happened around the same time was the Mission Samsung's Blogger Challenge Campaign for all the residents of South Africa and it was my dream to be winning one or at least be a part of the challenge. It came in newspapers and on Twitter handles and on their website - I read through the Terms and conditions as I wanted to win the same and put in a lot of effort to get to know about the challenge. It was their collaboration with Webfluential as well as SA Bloggers by Sandy. This contest really gave me a boost as it became my passion because I had missed the opportunity to become Samsung Blogger in India as I started my channel a little late and the contest was over by then where they chose certain bloggers who will get their products and will be getting invited to all their launch events. It was a really big dream for me to get involved with all the technology brands. 

I don't remember now when 1 Million and 2 Million pageviews were achieved but I will dig deeper maybe to check on the same. So after a lot of digging, I got the answer to the 2nd Million was done on 8 Aug 2018 after 5.5 years of blogging so it took me around 3 years to reach the 3 million mark. That's a lot of effort guys. The first million I was subscribed to a service where I paid the money annually to do the tweets which used to bring me a lot of traffic on the website and I used the service for 2 years. But I had to disconnect as many of the users blocked me as it was never-ending tweets about the same content again and again. The first million was achieved on 21 July 2016 as I used to tweet the daily progress of my blog those days. Such a time waste if I think about it. I think when I stopped posting that number for many years, people who used to follow me kept asking me how's your blog doing? I never understood the reason for their ask but now I am getting it as to why they used to ask me this question. 

So the fastest growth seems to be between the first and the second million pageviews as after the same, I started rejecting many brands who were just making use of my time and efforts and not giving anything in return at all. I have considerably reduced my time to be spent on my blog since the birth of my second child in January 2018 and focussed more on other social media platforms once again. My still belief is that I have got much more goodies from my social media presence on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as compared to the blog which means that I have won several contests giving me much bigger prizes as compared to the goodies gifted by PR companies and Brands at their launch events. But this post is to celebrate the overall crossing of three million page views on The Life's Way and what it means to me? 

3 Million is just a number and I hope to reach 5 Million soon in some next years and I will continue to write the new articles and blog posts. I will also focus on shooting video blogs that will go on my Youtube Channel. If you have not followed me on the channel, kindly do so as I am still far from the first 1000 subscribers and just need around 228 new subscribers to reach that landmark. This can be done in a single day by my readers around the world. Kindly follow the link and subscribe to the TheLife'sWay Youtube channel, please. Your help will be greatly appreciated in this regard.

6. Acer South Africa - 67 Posts - R500 gift voucher to buy stuff from Shop.acer.com (used thrice), Acer Launch goodies like Pen drive 8GB, Paper stand, Typo calculator, pens and diaries.

7. Sony South Africa - 53 Posts - Sony MDR-XP450AP Extra-Bass Wired Earphones (Gift), Diary, Pen, Sony Xperia XA Ultra, Sony Xperia XZ Premium
My love for Sony products is such that I bought so many products in London along with my earlier collection of products that when I came back to India, the Indian Country Manager of the Sony Headphones division wanted to visit my home and gift me with a new product but that couldn't happen as I travelled to South Africa before he could plan a visit. Anyhow, it remains my favourite company as I have kept hold of my old portable e-Reader, old noise cancellation headphones along with various other Sony products from Cassette player to MP3 Players to Portable CD player. I will start showcasing them on my Youtube channel soon. 

8. Silverstar Casino, Johannesburg, South Africa - 48 Posts - Silverstar Casino Marketing team provided me with a lot of staycations which I won during their several events and got to stay in their Presidential Suite also twice or thrice.

I am not getting invited anymore to their launch events but I have had a great run with the brand and I am so grateful to them. 

9. SterKinekor South Africa - 39 Posts - Movie tickets mainly and some launch events. 
Sterkinekor was the first company if I remember correctly to invite me to a movie night and gave my first goodies bag in South Africa which was a Diary and a Pen. I still have not used any of the items and kept them safe. 

10. rAge Expo South Africa - 36 Posts - rAge Expo Tickets, rAge Expo media goodies like Lego blocks or some kind of other goodies like caps, t-shirts, carry bags from their sponsor like MSI Gaming etc. 
It's always a pleasure to receive an invite to their expo which is a mad mad time to enjoy the best of the best games, memorabilia, gadgets and other technology-related products and goodies. I have been part of most of them since I came to South Africa and over the years the thing that remains with me is MSI  Lucky Dragon Bag which is a perfect fit to carry all the groceries and vegetables from the car to the home. All my 3 bags collected over the years are now at the end of the road and I need some new ones to carry on showcasing them in my shopping trolley.

15. Uber South Africa - 21 Posts - Tshirt, Discount voucher (never used), Mobile Stand

So these are the top 15 brands in terms of the number of posts done and some of them I have also marked as brands that just wanted free promotion and vanished once I asked for something in return so there are around 60+ posts belonging to those brands. So this is the current number of posts for all these brands and maybe or not there will be more for them or not depends on the respect I get in return for my time and efforts. Here I have not talked about the thousands of tweets, Facebook posts and Instagram posts for all these brands which come along with attending the event, or sharing blog posts or receiving the goodies. Overall, it's has been a great journey so far and I generally do publish the yearly posts too which you can read and enjoy too. Thanks to each and every pageviews reader to make it happen! Thank You!

Featuring some 22 talented musicians, brilliant dancers, mind-boggling aerialists and acrobats, as well as 750 lavish costume changes, the show is bound to keep you at the edge of your seat. The flamboyant costumes and extravagant sets have been custom-designed in India’s film capital by a team of 40 creative designers and collaborators over the course of the last four years. 
Mystic India #thelifesway #photoyatra
This production intertwines a mesmerising combo: Traditional India meets the urban streets of Mumbai and New York. It is hip and trendy with all the glitter and bling to make it an all-out sensory sensation. This feast showcases Bollywood at its finest and audiences can brace themselves for an explosion of colour and energy. Audience members will be invited along for a festive journey through Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, and even through the evolution of Bollywood films via a visual display that fuses dance, theatre and special effects. 

The celebratory production is directed and choreographed by the prominent choreographer and production master, Amit Shah, and produced by US-based AATMA Performing Arts, of which Shah is the founder and creative director. Shah is known for his critical eye and creative disposition, and has many years of experience in the world of dance, theatre and media. He has worked on Bollywood film sets with top actors and his choreography has been featured on stage with Miss World Priyanka Chopra, as well as in several films and music videos. 

Talking about Mystic India, Amit says, “If you have ever wanted to visit India, this production is your direct flight there. Mystic India will blow you all the way to the small villages of India to the fast-paced streets of Mumbai and New York. Audiences will get it all!” 
Mystic India #thelifesway #photoyatra #Jozi
The female lead of Mystic India, Kruti Shah, is an internationally distinguished dancer and choreographer who shot to fame as a Top 10 finalist on the dance reality show, Just Dance. While intensively training in modern forms of movement, such as ballet, pointe, tap, hip-hop, jazz and modern, Kruti also developed an interest in more ancient Indian forms of dance, particularly Bharatnyatam and Kathak. She joined the AATMA as a principal dancer in 2010 and has since been promoted to choreographer and dance trainer for the popular troupe. 

Mystic India’s narrator, Sanjay Sahini, is originally from Delhi, India, and received his professional actor’s training at the acclaimed HB Studios in New York City. His breakout role was in the movie Khel Shuru in 2006, and since then he has gone on to perform in numerous films, theatre and off-Broadway productions. One of his most notable performances was in Qurbaani, a short film for which he received a Best Actor Award. He also received numerous awards for his one-man show, in which he performs incredible imitations of Bollywood’s big stars.

Mystic India #thelifesway #photoyatra #DurbanBringing the element of adventure to Mystic India, are the specialty acts, like the ancient sport of Mallakhamb and the aerial arts. The choreographer, trainer and performer in charge of constructing these stunning pieces into the show, is Rajesh Mudki. He hails from Mumbai, India, where he has devoted his life to these spectacular sports. Mudki has trained in Mallakhamb since the age of six, and has since mastered the aerial mediums of silk, hoop, harness and rope. In 2007 he was honoured with the Shiv Chattrapati Award from the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for Best Athlete of the Year. He is the youngest player in history to receive this prestigious award. Mudki has appeared and worked on shows, such as Dance India Dance, Just Dance, DID Little Masters and India’s Got Talent.

@ZEEWORLD Launches @DSTV Channel #166 - Indian TV meets SA

Hi Guys,

Vasudhaiva kutumbakam – the world is my family. 
This philosophy is the driving force behind Indian-based content giant Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL). Their new channel, known as ZEE WORLD, has launched on DStv (channel 166) on 3 February and will offer a range of scintillating shows, which will grow in variety by the end of 2015. I have been a fan of ZEE TV since it's launch in 1992 in India. I have loved every new program they have launched since that  time.
You’ll be thrilled by nail-biting reality TV, cry your way through bittersweet Bollywood dramas, leap out of your seat with adrenaline-fueled action and even catch a quick nap while the kids watch their favourite shows. And that’s just the beginning. Kicking off the ZEE WORLD launch will be three award-winning series: Saloni, Laali, Married Again, The Promise as well as a myriad of blockbuster Bollywood movies. Bollywood needs no introduction as I have met many Non-Indian people who have seen 3 Idiots and many other movies multiple times. They are big fans of Sharukh/Salman and Aamir Khan. They all loved dance of Hrithik Roshan & charmed by the beauty of Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Katrina Kaif.
ZEEL Chairman, Subhash Chandra’s message is: “We want you to become a part of our growing family” - his aim is to bring authentic and entertaining content to the world stage. And that’s not an exaggeration - ZEEL’s 33 channels reach more than 730 million viewers across 169 countries.
ZEE WORLD’s content is for everyone, a sentiment echoed by MultiChoice’s GM for Content Aletta Alberts: “Content from around the world is increasingly becoming more accessible to African audiences. Critically acclaimed Bollywood content and its stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwariya Rai is mainstream. In light of this, ZEE WORLD was specifically developed for African family audiences. Extensive research has been conducted on every aspect of the channel; from the look and feel to the content mix as well as the English dubbing. Zee World will be a compelling addition to the DStv family.”
To make the shows even more accessible, they’ve all been dubbed into English using our very own South African talent. ZEE WORLD is available in South Africa to DStv Premium, Extra, Compact and Family customers. The launch event was awesome and here are some of the pictures taken by me using #MissionSamsung #NX300 camera. Launch in every way was a grand party with Bollywood meet South Africa style with #notimeforordinary. Thanks a lot for the invite. Looking forward to more launches from @DSTV

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Oct 2013

Hi Guys,

October 2013 during this time last year, I was busy in my VISA application for South Africa and also busy promoting my blog (www.thelifesway.com) to get to maximum brands and blog for them.

1. Product Launch - LG G2 #Great2Haveyou 30 Sep 2013 - I got invited to launch event for the launch of LG G2 mobile phone from one of their PR's. The phone looked awesome and the goodie bag had great things I liked and always wanted. Though I didn't got any devices to review but it was great to be in their launch event at Kingdom of Dreams, Gurgaon. 

2. Product Launch - Gionee ELIFE E6 Smartphone - Another invite from one of the famous PR's of Gionee mobile where I got to see Huma Qureshi also. It was a great event where I got to see Rajiv Makhni live in action and discussing on gadgets. The phone looked awesome but never reviewed the device till now. 

3. NIKON #ThroughTheLens Blogger Meet Delhi 19 Oct 2013 - Another awesome invite was from the company whom I loved the most and wanted to have their DSLR from so long. They launched D610 & D5300 in India and called some of the bloggers for the same. I got some Nikon goodies (4gb SD card/ DSLR strap & Nikon Tshirt) which I knew will bring me DSLR sooner or later and now I am the proud owner of D7000 but bought it myself. 

4. Amazon.in - Light up a child's Diwali - One of the donation of books drive which was close to my heart. After listening to someone on TEDx talks regarding non-availability of books to a lot of kids, I thought of donating some books and I felt great after sending kids some books worth Rs. 3500. I don't know how much kids are happy but I hope they celebrated their Diwali with new books from Amazon.

5. Indiblogger DID4 Meet - #DanceItOut for Women Security - My last Indiblogger & Zee TV meet in Delhi that year and I really loved to be a part of the same. It was during the meet only I got the email that my VISA has arrived and I need to travel soon to South Africa. I travel on the day before Diwali and spent the festival in the new country all alone in a room. Life is full of ups and downs and I won Sennheiser HD202 headphones for this post and I was very happy because I always wanted to have them. Thanks to Indiblogger for all the love and gifts in the last year. 

November 2013 - I didn't do any posts because I didn't had any internet connection with me and was only using data on mobile. It was a break from always online habit for a while and I really loved the same. Though it was very very difficult to stay away from internet but I could do it successfully. 
The year was awesome till the time I was in India as I made my blog grew along with me and over the journey won a lot of gifts from blogging as well as twitter. Twitter contests consumed a lot of time and efforts and the rewards was sometimes not much worth but the adrenaline to win is awesome.You can't stay away if you get into the habit of winning on twitter. Try it out!

Cheers!!!

Connected HUM TUM always

Hi Guys,

As soon as Abhay started advertising of this latest reality show from Zee TV, it caught a lot of eyeballs. HUM TUM has always been a topic which no one could understand. The best book that could ever touch this topic is "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". I was totally glued to understanding the show better and suddenly I checked the tweet from Indiblogger that this show will be launched to bloggers in Mumbai and worldwide as a meet. I felt really proud to be a part of the Indiblogger network. 

Coming back to Connected HUM TUM, it is a real life experience of 6 women who has lived their lives on their own terms obviously as a mother, daughter, student, housewife, working women serving various roles with perfection. In this world where we don't trust ourselves, sharing our lives with million of people makes us vulnerable and does requires a lot of courage. If I think of myself sharing my life on camera, I would not be able to do it. Projecting an image as an actor is easy but showcasing your real life, in your real world home and friends and scenario is really difficult. I really salute the guts of all these six women which were revealed to all of us at the meet.

The show will start on Monday 3 June 2013 and will be broadcasted daily from Monday to Friday.

Why do we feel connected? 
 I think we feel connected to someone as we all go through the same emotions and feelings in this life. The struggle for someone may come in different package but it will come and everyone will be facing the same. When you see someone surviving in that face of problems, you kind of reflect or introspect into yourself and a real life thing you faces comes to mind immediately and so comes emotions that you felt at that moment of time in your life. Our life is based on emotions and feelings which explains why we feel connected. 

I salute the idea of featuring and shooting this amazing series by Zee TV and the serial director Paromita Vohra. I wish the series a lot of TRP and success. I hope that the more I see the episodes daily, more I will miss the lives of these 6 really courageous ladies. Till that time, I hope to live my life with laughter and joy! 

Cheers!!!
