Well, that type of conversation happens to me every single day. I just can’t explain what I actually do for leading a good life. They randomly ask what is blogging at all? Anytime anywhere.My name is Abhishek maji and I’m a tech blogger. I have started blogging just 6-7 months ago. I’m a mechanical engineer, but lack of interest in the machine or kind of machining knowledge, I have been chosen to blog. When I was in the end semester of my college life I got a job offer from a Kolkata based machine designing company. I was there just 5 months. I left the job for doing something for me, something actually I want to do. I always like to watch tech videos, gadgets reviews, application reviews on youtube. My inspiration and favourite youtuber is MKBHD.
When I told my parents they just asked me few questions. Like why I leaving this job? Am I looking for something better? But main part has they understood me and kept their faith in me, I’m always thankful for that. But rest of my family member and all over conscious relatives I have, they just suddenly shocked, speechless. On my 1st month of blogger life, my entire month was just nightmare. I got many calls from various part of this universe. There was thousand of question from them and lots of explanation. I was feeling like did I do something worse?
Then I was like wait, why I’m getting tensed. They are not my checkpoints. I have some goals and life is too short, so I have to go with my ambitions. There is a long path to go. I don’t have time to think about them, that did I fulfil their expectations. I have to show them what a blogger can actually do.
My suggestion to every freelancer, go with your heart. Up and down just a part of life, life is more than that. Do what you want to do.
