Blog ‘The Iffy Explorer’ By Niharika | Delhi

What prompted you to go on your first trip?

A college project took me on my first solo trip to Mumbai. It was essentially a research trip but I took full advantage of it being on a first-ever solo trip.

How did you come up with the this “Channel name”?

Since school days and even till now, I have stayed confused between various life choice, professions to take up, things to try or staying confused between a simple yes or no. And I was about to explore myself and life. So Iffy which means confused, sat perfectly with Explorer thus ‘The Iffy Explorer’.

What’s the most entertaining story you have about getting lost?

We were on our way to Chhitkul via road and were following google maps. At 3am, it took us to a narrow trail which ended on a cliff. We were saved just by the 3 metre that night.

Have you been anywhere which turned out to be totally different to how you imagined? If so, how?

Kargil, I thought it to be a region suffering from post war symptoms which completely subsided when I stayed in Kargil for 10 days. And Kargil’s valleys have my heart now.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlusters Out there?

Explore and be wild till the time you can. A week back or week knees won’t let you do treks.

A Soul Window Travel Blog By Abhinav Singh | Delhi

How did you come up with the this “Blog name”?

When I was living in Navi Mumbai and was not even a blogger, I used to spend a lot of time on the large Mumbai style windows of my apartment. I used that space to talk to myself, brood and spend some ‘Me Time’. And the same was repeated when I used to travel to some destination. As the train/bus/taxi whizzed by on a long journey, I used to stare out of window and think about things that bothered me, even as the frames changed rapidally.

Abhinav dressed as a Bhutanese in Thimphu

What are your tips to save money?

I take a lot of liberties when I am traveling solo on a tight budget. I spend a minimum on accommodation because I am spending the least time in hotels. Also, I take public transport and eat in roadside dhabas (when traveling in India) with good hygiene standards, of course.

Chanthaburi Koh Mak Island Trat Offbeat Thailand

Have you been anywhere which turned out to be totally different to how you imagined? If so, how?

Australia. I had huge expectations from Australia. But somehow, I was not excited when I was finally in Australia. I went to Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. I found all these places very boring and ordinary. Even Opera House did nothing to me. It is just overhyped and well marketed.

Abhinav at 12 apostles, Great Ocean Road, Australia

For you, what are the most and least liveable cities you’ve visited?

I have lived in 7 cities so far. I have mostly enjoyed each and every place I have been to. At the risk of starting a controversy, I have never been able to enjoy living in Delhi NCR, even though I am North India.

On the contrary, I have a strong emotional connect with Mumbai where I lived for seven years. The food, people, city attractions, cultural events, creative avenues, etc available in Mumbai, I feel are tailor-made for me. I enjoyed my 2 months-long stay in Bengaluru as well. The food there is just so good and cheap even in the poshest of localities. Both Mumbai and Bengaluru also have a plethora of amazing weekend destinations you can go to on a whim.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlusters out there?

Travel for yourself. Do not travel to outsmart anyone or to show off. Travel for your soul. That is where the true contentment is. That is where you can learn something from travel.

Blog Travelseewrite by Archana Singh|Delhi

What prompted you to go on your first trip?

I don’t even remember when I went on my first trip. Perhaps I have been traveling since I was a toddler. I hail from an army background and as an army kid I travelled around the country. Also, hostel life contributed immensely to my solo trips.

What is the most enlightening thing your travel have taught you?

Travel has changed the way I live my life – I have become more aware, calmer, empathetic, appreciative and far more adaptable than I was before. Materialism and rate-race has given way to minimalism and sustainable lifestyle.

What’s the most entertaining story you have about getting lost?

In November 2016 I had gone on a solo trip to Taiwan. It was a completely unplanned trip made in a jiffy but it wasn’t the best time to visit as it was a rainy season. However, that didn’t deter me from exploring its most beautiful national parks – Taroko National Park. While in the park I lost the sense of time and almost missed the last bus that leaves the park at 17:55pm. I tried to hitchhike but no car was stopping. Due to heavy rains, landslides were rampant in the park and huge boulders were falling from everywhere. I was deep in the park and my internet wasn’t working. So, I wasn’t sure if I was on the main road or somewhere far away. For almost two hours I kept walking and didn’t see a soul in my sight. I was little worried as it was already 18:30 and there was no chance I could catch the last bus. When I had given all hope I heard a bus coming from behind. I tried to stop it but it didn’t stop immediately as there was no parking space. Some 200 m away it stopped and I breathed a sigh of relief. In the bus, I met a guy who too had a similar story. He spoke very slowly and struggled a bit in English.

On our way back we alighted at different stations as I still wanted to explore the area before catching the train to Taipei. He said he’ll be going straight as he had some pre-plans. After 1 hr when I reached the ticket counter I saw him again. Surprisingly he got the seat adjacent to me in the boggy. But the biggest surprise came during our conversation when he revealed we are staying at the same hostel in the same locality. When I asked him about his nationality, he said Korea. I asked – North or South. He said North. I was super excited to meet someone from North Korea for the first time in my life and wanted to know more about his country and the life there.

We made plans to meet after dinner. When I reached the hostel I announced that I had someone from North Korea. Everyone was super excited to meet him and all of us were waiting for him with an abated breath. When he arrived, I proudly introduced him to the gang and asked him to tell his story. In a hush-hush voice he whispered in my ears – “Arch, I am sorry I didn’t get the question that time. I am not from North Korea.” I was so angry as I had made a fool of myself in front of everyone. For the next two days he kept trying to please me through flowers, chocolates and gifts.

Finally reached the Everest Base Camp, Nepal

What are your tips to save money?

Instead of buying stuff, take them on rent. For example many a times I take lenses, Go Pro and other gadgets on rent for my assignments
And, if I have to buy, I invest in good quality products over average products. They last longer and give better value for money in the long run. For example I would never compromise on my trekking gear as it would have to bear harsh conditions and would still last at least for 10 years.
I don’t carry food or eat at fancy restaurants. I buy fruit/food/bread at grocery stores or convenience stores.
Use public transport and travel pass if you are staying for long. Saves you a lot of bucks. And, many a times they are come loaded with lot of value adds like free entry to attractions, discounts at restaurants/stores.
Plan your trip in advance and take tips from locals. Visit in off season to avoid peak season rush and high prices. Stay away from the city centre, preferably with a local family.

What are the most essential thing you keep in your backpack?

Photography gear – camera, lenses, batteries and chargers, filters, tripod, GoPro, power banks etc.
Personal care – Sunscreen, Vaseline, toothpaste-brush, wet wipes, band-aid, basic medicines, sanitary pad,
Dry fruit or chocolate, refillable water bottle, wooden fork & spoon, bamboo/steel straw
Wallet and mobile phone

Manchibaba | Food Blogger | Delhi

Food Blogger Manchibaba:-

Food Blogger Manchibaba by Sharadh Sharma aka Manchibaba as the name suggests, I am a pure or a helping person which is indeed my true personality. I am a born traveler, foodie who wants to fly high to touch the sparkle of success and fame. I think I am a true influencer who is well connected to his roots. Food Blogger Manchibaba is passionate about traveling and exploring new out of the places I visit. I love to mingle up with new people and create happiness all around.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

Manchibaba – a storyteller. This name is unique and hence anyone can get strucked into its charisma but the true story behind this name resides in itself only. If we split manchibaba as manchi+baba we will be able to understand it well. Basically this name was given to me as a nickname in Chennai when I was working in the banking IT sector. In Telugu manchi means – praiseworthy, pure or a helping person which is indeed my true personality and baba means a saint. I always believe in being transparent to all so I chose this very name to represent myself in its true spirit.

Why did you decide/ inspired to start a food blog?

All this started 5 years back, somewhere around in 2013 when I took a break from my job in Chennai in the lust of following my passion for traveling and exploring authentic flavors of various places. Being grown up in a Brahmin family I have a special craving for pilgrimage tour and while presenting my offerings to the lord I started searching out about the local stories behind the authentic recipes of these places initially I started it up by the food walks in the tingy –tangy streets of Delhi. Being naturally a true traveler I clicked and posted some of my favorite food which got me love from one n all on Instagram. Gradually this passion turned out to be a true love for traveling and exploring which indeed transformed me from a casual IT person to the more lively one.

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? how long have you been blogging?

I trust my instincts and keep my posts real and interesting so that they instantly get connected with the audience. I try to keep things simple and posting what they are aspiring for. Being a true street food lover I always keep on spying for the hidden gems of the street food of the places I visit so that I can assist my followers to enjoy the authentic tastes of the various places they happen to visit with their friends and family. All this started 5 years back, somewhere around in 2013 when I took a break from my job in Chennai in the lust of following my passion for traveling and exploring authentic flavors of various places.

Which part of blogging excites you the most- the recipe development, the post writing or the photography?

For me blogging is the blend of many aspects.One cannot think of just one out of these to create a authentic and interesting blog.Whether it is recipe development or the post writing or the photography- each and every task adds its own type of magic in the blog to do justice to your followers.

Do you have any special blogging tips for the new bloggers?

Plunge into this task if you are truly passionate about this. Just don’t start all this because all others are doing it. Do it if you are really keen to. Generate your own original style, be consistent, stay connected to the current updates, give your best and surely you are going to receive the best.

The Edible Tales | Food Blogger Kajal | Mumbai

The Edible Tales:-

I am a full-time teacher and a part-time Food Reviewer/ Blogger started The Edible Tales taking my love for food to a step ahead. I strongly believe ‘Love for Food is True Love’. I am from a Sindhi family, I have grown up enjoying a variety of dishes. Food runs in our blood. I’m more of a sweets person. So I love desserts. And chocolate is my weakness. I not only love to relish in delectable dishes but also love to cook. So I keep trying new dishes at home as well.I find the utmost pleasure and satisfaction in sharing my experiences with people who share the same love.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

I want to weave my stories while exploring places to experience the best of food in the world and share the same with fellow foodies, so that’s why ‘The Edible Tales.’

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

In otherwise monotonous life, my passion to explore new places from restaurants to street food shops made life exciting. The increasing power of social media attracted me towards it and I began this journey on 22nd November 2016. I myself used to watch out for other bloggers’ profiles on Instagram before visiting restaurants and also read reviews on Zomato. I thought even I could do it as I love writing. Though initially I wasn’t so good at photography but learned a lot by being observant and patient.
It’s not that you need to be a professional photographer for being a Food Blogger. All you need is the passion to capture the essence of the dish and giving the people genuine feedback about it.
Writing and food are the two things that I have always loved so this became all the more fun for me.
My Food Blog Page now is an indispensable part of my life. Each day I strive harder to create new c and quality content for my followers.

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

My blog is mainly about food and among other things products and lifestyle brands. It showcases delicacies ranging from drinks to desserts from various restaurants, cafes and street food stalls that I have visited myself. I also capture food delicacies while travelling out of Mumbai as well. Its been only 1 and a half years and I have been blessed with more than 15,000 followers already. So I m also planning to diversify into the Travel blog. Hoping that it happens soon.

Which part of blogging excites you most: the recipe development, the post writing, or the photography?

For me personally it is the writing part. I love to express the essence of the food in words. That is something I have been good at from the beginning, Also equally important is the photography part. I have improved my skills a lot. More tempting the picture looks more it attracts the people. Because It’s actually our eyes that lead the way and our tongue just follow. So for that how the picture looks is very important which also depends on the plating and presentation of the dish.

What are the three most popular posts ever on your blog?

1. Aamras Puri Picture homemade dish and self plated
2.Pannini from Mamaji’s Katta Ghatkoper khaugali
3.Litchi Blossom from Mulund

DJ Ali Merchant is an Indian television actor. His first television stint was when he auditioned for Roadies 3. He is a Actor / Dj / Producer / Anchor / Dreamer / Poser / Blogger / Hogger / Traveller Friend.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

The inspiration came directly from music listening to those radio sets of international DJs back in the days. Their style, music has inspired me the most to be DJ.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

In my live sets, I pretty much play every mainstream genre like from Bollywood to house music, to a big room, trap, hip hop, moombahton but if given a chance would surely like to play techno music for once.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

My all-time inspiration has to be Tiesto and David Guetta because they are the ones who turn the electronic music to the mainstream and like how they evolve over the course of time. I have a special respect for DJ Akhtar he is India’s one the most talented DJ this country has ever seen. His contribution towards the fraternity has been remarkable. He always inspired me and supported me.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

I sense the crowd and then play the music accordingly. I do a lot of research at home with sorting my music and look for those special sounds and melodies to get that “wow” factor from the crowd at the dance floor.

How would you describe your style?

It’s simple I keep it original.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

While I try to sense them and I try to be one amongst them so that we are on the same page. so play music accordingly. I do a lot cheering to them and hooting over the mic to pump them up and also at times I just invade the dance floor and start dancing with them. that really helps.

Why should I choose you as my wedding DJ?

As I told you can see myself dancing with you.Because when I am one of you it becomes easy to sway the whole party thing becomes much easy.

Do you have a specialty?

A specialty of making people dance.

Binish Baby | Senior Executive Chef | The Lemon Tree Premier | Mumbai

What inspired you to become a chef?

My inspiration was my father who loves cooking and serves the dishes to family and friends, but I can’t deny the fact that my mom’s food was the best.

When are you happiest at work?

When I see the plates coming to the dishwasher are completely empty and the guest has consumed every morsel of food in it. A wonderful sight!!

What have been the key drivers for the success of your journey?

Hard work, determination and positive attitude and plus great team to work with.

Do you have any advice for someone wanting to become a chef?

I just want to say It’s not easy to become a chef; you need to work hard, keep a positive attitude, patience, and commitment to work. More important than anything else the passion that you drive within!!!

Who do you love cooking for the most?

I love cooking for my family as it makes me and my family happy. Cooking for my family is a mental break or relaxation for me. I just enjoy the sensory experience of my cooking.

Which is your favorite home-cooked food?

Kottayam fish curry with Kappa vevichathu (tapioca) the combination of this together is unbeatable. I miss my Mom’s food that she used to cook for me.

Artista Sunny Tattoos by Sunny | Delhi

What inspired you to become a tattoo artist?

Tattooing is something really personal.A person who comes to get a tattoo is in a way trusting you with his/her life. It is the artistic freedom as well as responsibility that attracted me to it.

Have you ever taken formal art training from a younger age or are you self-taught?

Sadly,in India,I don’t think there’s anything such as formal training.Yes, you work with an established tattoo artist and learn from them but that’s not formal is it? I’ve always been inclined towards drawing and sketching and tattooing was just an extension of the same.

Which body parts are you most comfortable making a tattoo on?

Every body part is a blank canvas for me.My clients mostly have a reason for selecting a body part for their ink and I trust their decisions, and if I don’t, we discuss it and decide on something better.

How do you console a person who is experiencing pain while drawing a tattoo?

Tattooing is not as much about fashion as it is about reason.Most of my clients have a story behind why they are getting a certain tattoo made. I like to listen to them,hear their stories and while that happens,their conviction of getting the tattoo only becomes stronger.As a result, pain is no longer something they worry about.

What do you feel was one of your biggest struggles as a tattoo artist?

As tattoo artists, we need to be respected for our work.While our clients understand us,a majority of people still consider tattooing a taboo. That’s a war we all are fighting and hopefully,someday this struggle would be over. Another thing that breaks my heart is when people go to semi-skilled or not-so-hygienic places to save money on their tattoos. That’s dangerous.Don’t have it instead.

From where is your personal art and designs inspired?

From each one of my clients. Each client who walks through the door leaves a piece of their life, their choices and their thought process with me.Each one of those stories is my inspiration.

What are your biggest strengths as a tattoo artist?

Well,I guess I try to be the best friend my clients have. It’s worked for me pretty well.

JUSTIN YANU | MUMBAI

What inspired you to be a DJ

When DJ Justin Yanu was very young we had a very small scale business and it was during those days that the craft of djing had me hooked.The actual inspiration I got it from the legendary DJ Akhtar as once I got to see his performance video which got my interest so much deep in of becoming a DJ and I was lucky enough to perform in front of him for the very first time at a college fest war of the DJs where I stood the winner and DJ Akhtar was judging over the competition…I impressed him so much that he offered to take me under his wings and let me join his group of super talented DJs.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

As I am an open format DJ,I am specialized in multiple genres…I would never switch to any extraordinary genre about which I am not at all 100% sure and confident.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

As DJ Justin Yanu mentioned before the legendary DJ Akhtar is my biggest inspiration.The respect of him is infinite as the way he has created his own brand by so much of hard work during his struggling days, being a resident DJ at a club called 1990’s at the Taj hotel Mumbai, for about more than a decade.

His helping nature, the polite and friendly behavior, his motivation towards the upcoming DJs, the way he carries himself, and many more things are there to show respect towards him.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

It’s just how the way u carry your self,about me,I always work on my self every day,free time I will be in front of my laptop experimenting new things and getting some new innovative acts at my every single gig.I work on my voice tone which shows good improvement on my micing skills my body language on the console and always smiling and happy nature,interaction with the crowd before the gig, during the gig and after the gig.These all things make me a little different for other DJs.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

It is all about reading the crowd, I just see on what music genre the crowd is grooving so I just stick to it for some time then for an experiment just I switch the music tempo from uptempo to downtempo or vice versa and just look at the crowd whether they are taking it or no but u need to be fast in this.As I am very much quick in switching up the tempos to get back to the high energy level.

I Keep on interacting with the crowd with my micing skills, for eg. Put your hands up, let me see those clapping hands,I ask the crowd are you enjoying the night tonight, I an proper voice tone and quality which sound powerful and interactive

Why should I choose you as my wedding DJ?

Because I have all that qualities which you search in a wedding DJ,and I have performed for many of the big fat and grand weddings all over and yes its been a successful, as a wedding DJ I connect to the people as it’s my own friends or my know one’s wedding.This creates a good friendly environment and gives that freedom to me to interact with the people, make them grove as I make my family and friends grove at my own family functions… but I keep the same respect and politeness which has to be given to ur client

Jerlyn Food Fanatic | Jerlyn Dsilva | Pune

Blogger JERLYN FOOD FANATIC by Jerlyn Dsilva:-

Hi! I am Jerlyn Dsilva and I am a lifestyle blogger based out of Pune. Blogger JERLYN FOOD FANATIC by Jerlyn Dsilva have been blogging for the past 6 years now and Blogger JERLYN FOOD FANATIC by Jerlyn Dsilva also known as the ‘Radiowali Ladki’ as Blogger JERLYN FOOD FANATIC by Jerlyn Dsilva have worked with the radio in the past.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

So my blog name is JerlynFoodFanatic.Clearly, I wanted my blog to carry my name in it and I think the food fanatic part is pretty much self-explanatory. It defines excessive zeal towards what I do.

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

Fun story! I have been an ardent food lover since childhood and my mum is a really good cook.I love to explore and try out new cuisines, places and meet new people.One fine day,the explorer in me landed up at a food fest which was a big fail and met an elderly lady waiting at the ticket counter to collect her ticket and for the gates to open.We struck up a conversation and discovered that our love for food is eternal.

Upon speaking to the lady,I came to know that she is a blogger in New York and back then I didn’t know what blogs are!She simplified it for me and encouraged me to start my own blog. Initially,I found it boring but then I realized this is my thing and started taking interest in developing better content.And hey,whoever I am today,is because of that lady,and her name is Seby Singh. She is my mentor and if I wouldn’t have met her, I wouldn’t have known what blogging is all about.They say you meet the right people at the right time and that’s what happened with me.I owe you big time Seby!

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

Well,my blog is primarily about food but it also carries content that revolves around luxury properties,staycations,spas etc.So there’s no harm in terming it as a Lifestyle Blog but food shall always be my first priority!I’ve been blogging for the past 6 years now and was one of the few bloggers in town when Pune was introduced to the blogging scene.It’s now safe to say – Been there, done that.

Is there any event you are especially looking forward to this year?

I am looking forward to the Orange Flower Awards as I’ve been in the top 5 food writers in India for the past 2 years and of course the most awaited blogger awards of the year,The FBAI Awards which take place in Mumbai each year.

Which part of blogging excites you most: the recipe development, the post writing, or the photography?

Well,I love writing.I have flair for it and love expressing my love for food through my blog.I love breaking it down for people in simple words and share my experiences through the same.I also enjoy clicking pictures as it’s the most important thing because the person eats with his eyes first and it’s the visuals that he remembers for long. So I pick up that camera and shoot.

What do you think food blogging will look like in 5 years?

The city has seen a boom of bloggers in the past 2 years and there are so many bloggers who are coming up with great content. And it feels great that people are now aware of what exactly is this fraternity all about. Feels good when people know what bloggers do and I feel there’s a great scope and a bright future for this particular fraternity!

What are the three most popular posts ever on your blog?

I’ve received a lot of appreciation for almost all my articles but the top three would be :

Staycation at Courtyard By Marriott
Blog on Kode, Mumbai

Kim

DJ Kim:-

DJ Kim aka Kim Thomas is a DJ, Musician, Producer, Pianist, Enthusiast, Geek, Fanatic & Kleptomaniac.

A complete Nightlife music soul, DJ Kim has mastered almost every genre of music. However, specializes in Bollywood, Commercial House, Club Music, EDM & Progressive Trance Music. Having spent many years performing at all of the major local night clubs and despite all the challenges and hurdles of understanding the audience need DJ Kim evolved as an extremely versatile artist mastering the art by himself as a self-taught DJ.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

I am musician from my childhood, keyboardist in the Church, I still perform in the choir so I do have music knowledge. Once I visited a club called 10 downing street in the year 2010. I was so mesmerized by seeing one person taking control of the entire audience in means of Music. I came back home, tried to watch some videos, practice for two years and then I started to seek opportunities in various clubs, I believe the kind of effort I put for my passion was so intense that I have been awarded the best DJ in Hyderabad in Bollywood Music in less than 7 Years. Yes off course I did have my struggling days in the initial two years, But I believe consistency and self-motivation was my strength to pull it off to the next level.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

I believe I have spent enough time in my current genre and experimenting a new one will be another ball game and acceptance by the audience would be difficult at this juncture. I would like to be a People’s Artist and I am enjoying the current genre Bollywood and EDM. If you ask me personally what I would enjoy in my Studio, it would be Progressive Trance.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

I respect every Artist who are being real for sure as Human Being. A tenured artist, who has grey hair and seen the industry for more than 3 to 4 decade is the one and can be anyone’s inspiration. ‘Respect the Grey’ from the Music industry with respect to Music there are so many artists that I have learnt so many things. I believe I am Unique at the moment.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

I am top world 6th certified ethical hacker, I completed my Masters from Oxford University, London on Information Security, Risk and Compliance, worked for NASA & NSA as Wireless Ethical Hacker and Information Security Consultant. Audited on Security Technology for all the Big Firms in the World, including World Bank. I still work as a Global Technology Head in IBM managing a Team of 2500. Still I pursue my Passion for music as a DJ and stand the best in Bollywood and EDM in Hyderabad. I shared the other side of me. On the Contrary with respect to Music, I am a Peoples DJ, key strength is I talk to them during Shows, connect with every situation, I believe there were so many DJ’s before me and after me and I had the will power to keep it consistent, just coz I love Music.

How would you describe your style?

Absolutely Unique, I do not copy, I am just being me in the Console. To keep it very short, I am just me when I am performing.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

Quite a Task and I learnt this with experience and making mistakes. After a period of time, you read the pulse of crowd and audience. This is sheer experience which teaches anyone. It’s not a rocket science. Any tenured artist would learn the skill on the go with experience. I am no exception, just the style is different and unique.

Why should I choose you as my wedding DJ?

I have been performing for multiple weddings over 100+ across India. I have been performing for celebrity weddings and private shows. I can vouch I can be the one who can really connect to the couple irrespective of the various wedding culture.Every wedding is culturally different and I have performed for all types of wedding. Again this is something I learnt through experience and making mistakes. To be honest, I am so capable and confident ensuring the wedding is cherished and memorable.

Do you have a specialty?

Bollywood and EDM is my Music Specialty and I am a Peoples DJ. My Key strength is understanding the Pulse of the Crowd and Interacting with them. Microphone is my Strength.

Describe your sound for someone who’s never heard you?

Rock is the central theme of our songs but we love adding folk to rock songs as well. Even if we experiment with different kinds of music but rock and folk will still be the main themes of our song because that’s what we love performing.

Which famous Bands do you admire? Why?

We admire the Indian Ocean, Agnee, Guns and Roses, and Queen. We have basically grown up listening to them and they have been an inspiration to create Rock Fusions. We consider ourselves lucky as we have got to work with Rahul Ram from the Indian Ocean on one of our songs ‘Le Lee’ he has been kind to us by featuring in the video too.

What advice would you give to beginners who are nervous?

“Keep your goals clear, focus on what you do, learn to face the consequences and be committed to what you do” is what we learned in all these years and it has actually helped us grow in all the best ways possible.

Girish | Resident DJ | M Bar Kolkata

DJ Girish:-

Emerging in the dance music scene in the year 2001 DJ Girish has destroyed dance floors, smashing the energies for more than a decade in his city.

Playing a wide variety of genres DJ Girish has been on top of his profession and the 13-year long residency of one of the most happening clubs of Kolkata is proof of his consistency and musical attributes. DJ Girish has opened for Ummet Ozcan, John OO Fleming, Jordy Dazz, W&W and Pitbull. He has played at Ibiza and various other international locations. He is currently the Resident DJ of M BAR which happens to be the numero uno club of Kolkata.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

The ability to control a party, a vibe, people’s moves, the rush of seeing them having a good time, in combination with the passion of music inside me, inspired me to be a Dj. I always sang in my school band and played the guitar, I wanted to be an entertainer!

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

I am a multi-genre DJ, I play most genres of dance music, be it old school to Bollywood, RnB to hip-hop /pop, trance, house, and techno, given the fact, India is a wide audience with different moods and tastes. I don’t really miss a genre, but yes if given a chance I would go back to singing and form a band, write music and feature my music videos.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

My biggest inspiration is CARL COX,when I look at him he clearly signifies,that age,shape,colour nothing matters for a DJ to shine out in the industry ,its all about his choice of music,and what he brings to a show and ability to play for long hours that can make a DJ stand out even if he 60/70 years old, I was there at the legendary nightclub called SPACE in Ibiza watching Coxs last ever set as a resident dj. thats my intensity of respect I could give him.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

What makes me different..good question
when I play at weddings I have a different format of presenting my music, but when I’m playing at nightclubs or the club where I am holding a residency the format is absolutely different. My strongest artillery of DJing is I switch genres with smooth transitions on a given night getting to reach the maximum audience in that room who need their value for money on their night out. I chose my remixes, mixes very carefully, I edit most of my tracks using the technology available in today’s date, just in order to not sound like other DJs who may have downloaded the same track from a free site for the rest of explanation, YOU NEED TO BOOK ME IN YOUR NEXT GIG 🙂

How do you get the crowd pumped?

Getting the crowd pumped is a catch 22 situation, sometimes my choice of music hits the bulls eye, and you see the energy burst in the crowd, but most of the times at festivals and club nights I just take the mic and emcee between my own sets to build up a good audience connect, and there you go!!!!!!!!

7.you should choose me as your wedding DJ because. without burning a hole in your pocket, I might leave a sore on your heels, which you may have acquired while dancing those three days.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

I always wanted to include the word India in my blog as I would be talking about Indian food through my blog and social assets, and when I was thinking of what name I could start with – foods of India was the first thing that popped in my head. When I went to check its availability, it was taken by a restaurant in the US, and I immediately checked to see if FoodiesofIndia was available and voila! Hence began the journey of creating a platform and community where all fellow foodies can connect for their common love – food!

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

FoodiesofIndia is a food blog where I share my daily experiences for my fellow vegetarian buddies on things to eat in Mumbai and around the country when I get to travel. During my travels, I try to cover places and dishes that vegetarian travellers can order and not let the availability of food be the reason they don’t travel to a particular destination that has been on their list. I have been blogging for about 5 years now and I think it’s just the beginning for FOI. With my full-time job, sometimes it gets a little difficult to cover places or events that happen during the daytime. I have been lucky to have readers and fellow foodies from all over India regardless of location, gender and food preference.

Which part of blogging excites you most: the recipe development, the post writing, or the photography?

That’s a very difficult question! To be honest, I love every part from conceptualization– execution – styling – photography – posting to the analytics part of content creation. I treat each of them equally important, but this is all treated even more important by my mother, Ratna Betala, who is the reason behind all the tempting home-made posts and recipes that you may see on my blog and Instagram. Every week, mom and I sit together to brainstorm on what can be worked on next, she gives in her inputs and takes on how we can make it different and more appealing to foodies while maintaining the healthy factor as part of all recipes.

What are the three most popular posts ever on your blog?

Well, there have been days when some posts have outperformed expectations and some that have done very differently from what we were thinking. In the last 2 years, the following posts have done the best and widely accepted by foodies of India

Do you have any special blogging tip for new bloggers?

For all those who are aspiring or new bloggers Try to understand your niche, what you really like and are passionate about and let that reflect through the work you do. Don’t thrive to work just for “collabs/reviews/invites” when you are beginning, if you are good at what you do. Try to be original and connect with the audience, take the time to understand and analyse what your followers like – the time to post, the type of image, the colors you use, the food/subject of the image – you are blessed to have such a great feedback mechanism provided by Instagram for you guys. Make use of the resources to understand where you are, what your audiences want and how you want to get there!

For other food enthusiasts – Enjoy every plate of food that you are lucky to be served and if there are any food influencers/bloggers that you are fond of, support them – a message, like, comment means the world to us!

What inspired you to become a chef?

In my school days, I used to cook some quick and easy meals to satisfy my odd time hunger. Passion for cooking started when family members started praising the taste of the food I prepared. Eventually I realized, cooking and serving food is a best way to share happiness with one another. This thought in my mind inspired me to connect with people easily and in a simple way.

What is the one cuisine that you are most comfortable cooking? Enjoy the most

Garde Manger

Salads and cold appetizer. As a chef, it gives me a feeling of an artist, who plans, designs, and synchronize raw, cooked, natural flavor of ingredients to please the senses.

Regional cuisine

Vibrant, nutritious, local flavors are the soul of regional cuisine. It could be from any part of the world, but being an Indian I found huge potential in an Indian regional cuisine it always surprised me with its varieties, different flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods.

When are you happiest at work?

When a dish is prepared with heart and soul, praised by colleague, clicked by juniors and the plates come out empty from the restaurant with thanks from guest, it makes my day and this is what every chef works hard for.

What have been the key drivers for the success of your journey?

My Gurus, colleagues and juniors are the ones who always keep my professional journey interesting, informative and effective and of course inner strength, personal ability and willingness to learn.

Do you have any advice for someone wanting to become a chef?

A feel good factor is always there in a chef’s life. To attain that point, a person has to go through different aspects of personal and professional challenges.

Always be self-motivated
Be a Regular practitioner
Do Self evaluation on self measured goals
Be focused on latest food trends and market

Protonix

What inspired you to be a DJ?

The Music For Obvious Reasons But Specially Psytrance Music As Psytrance Is Not Just Music Its A Lifestyle.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

I Will Never Switch My Style To Another Genre Not Because I Hate Other Genre For Me All Music Is Frequency There Is No Like Or Dislike For Me.

It’s Not A Choice For The Musician To Pick Genre Its The Music Which Picks The Musician For Different Initiation.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

I Think My Biggest Inspiration Is A R Rahman He Isn’t A Psytrance Artist LOL But A Brilliant Music And One Of The First Person To Bring Electronic Music In India.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

It’s The Passion Which Drives My Energy I Have Dedicated My Entirely Life For Music Its Been 10 Years In The Industry The Urge Of Becoming More Different And Unique Made Me Pursue Music Production.

In Todays Time There Is A Huge Difference And A Misunderstanding In People Between DJ And Music Producers A DJ Is Playing Other Artists Music Whereas A Music Producer Creates And When DJs Plays His Own Music I See Many DJs Today But Very Few Good Producers.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

I generally do live set comprising from 1 to 2 hours I always like to start slow BPM from maybe 138 and then push it still 145 this makes certain energy on the dance floor when u start slow people start grooving.

And as u take then BPM higher the energy of the crowd raises and 145 bpm I think is the sweet spot where the magic happens.

Prachi Sachdev

What is your inspiration behind choosing writing as a career?

I had been an avid reader since my teens. I also got a hang of writing short stories and poems during this time. My then English teacher Ms. Sudha Sharma inspired me to write. She believed in my writings and motivated me to be at my creative best. Writing became a core part of me. And thus began my journey and struggle to find my place as a writer in the bigger scheme of life.

Tell us something about your books?

My First book ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ is an e-book on Kindle.

‘Pearls of Wisdom’ is a mother’s journey, expressed with simplicity, for her little girl to help her make better choices. It is a guide, a reminder for every girl to become self-reliant, to know self-worth, and to avoid pitfalls her mother could not in similar situations. To date, I rely on my mother’s experience whenever I get stuck in life. I firmly believe, no matter how old she may be, sometimes a girl just needs her mother and her pearls of wisdom.

My Second book ‘ मन तृष्णा ‘ is a collection of poems about life, people and relationships.

What were the challenges you came across while writing your first book?

The biggest challenge I felt while writing my first book was ‘what if my idea isn’t good enough…what if no one likes it…’ I had the plan worked out. There was ample time to write my thoughts on the paper without being disturbed. But when I finished the first draft and it was time to edit I was in a dilemma – to go with working on the book further or to drop it where it was. Nevertheless, I went ahead. It was time to face my fears to begin my author’s journey.

Do you believe in a writer’s block?

We have days we are overflowing with ideas to write. And then, there are rainy days too. You sit for hours, and stare blankly at your laptop screen trying to figure out ‘what to write?’ You feel blocked to fill gaps in your writing. Writer’s block, for me, seems legit. It is there, whether its the fear of writing a particular piece/scene or it is the struggle to write something new. That is the time when I focus on reading.

Every week, He makes sure to go out and explore new places that can later be enjoyed by his audience in the form of images.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

While deciding on the blog’s name, I was clear about one thing – Portraying my image as a Vegetarian Food Blogger. Vegetarian food is not only delectable but also pleasing to the eyes if done correctly. I wanted to come up with a name sans the mention of Food in it. So after a lot of consideration, I came up with That Veggie Blogger.

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

A very simple explanation for that – My love for food. It started when I was a kid and at the age of 24, I decided to give my passion a platform. I am lucky to live in an era of digital transformation. It wasn’t hard to find a platform to do what I wanted to do. I first started my Zomato page and then came Instagram.

Ronnie | Resident DJ | Sutra Banglore

DJ Ronnie:-

DJ Ronnie thinks the mindset of the people is the main challenge. People don’t see DJing as a full-time profession and that is where it lacks its value. No one understands the amount of homework a DJ has to do, to play a great set. Even to play one track after the other and knowing your entire playlist by heart Is no joke. DJ Ronnie carry over 3500 tracks with me for a show, out of which I barely play 80-100 tracks a night. So, I am always prepared. People need to be more aware of this profession and art. Also budding DJs, please don’t do this for fame or free beverages. Learn the basics and do justice to this art.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

Back at school, a friend made me hear a track by David Guetta – I am in Miami Bitch. I was blown away by the drop. The melodies instantly grabbed my attention and I wanted to hear more such tracks. Eventually, I started collecting music through audio cassettes and later through the internet. I would make mixtapes of tracks which I liked and would hear them over the walkman, non-stop. The tracks wouldn’t be in sync but I was happy that It would play non-stop my favorite tunes. My friends heard these mixtapes in college and started appreciating and well, that’s how it all started.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

I am a Bollywood DJ, as in, I get booked for being a Bollywood music artist. But I believe in ‘music beyond genres’. I hated hip-hop music, but now, 50% of my set consists of Bollywood and commercial Hip-Hop. Through my sets, I take the audience through a journey, from Tech-house to club music to retro. There is everything, and the crowd loves it. There is learning in every process. When I first played at a club in Singapore, I was in a state of shock, my tracks weren’t working. The Desi crowd who come to a club in Singapore enjoy only original Bollywood music, without any remix. I came back to India, did my homework and at my 2^nd gig at Singapore I rocked it, I played a 5 hours original Bollywood music set, it was magical. Of course, if I had to move from Bollywood, I would love to play Techno and Tech house sets. One can never get bored of those sounds.

Who has been your inspiration or role model during your career? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

I have respect for all my seniors and peers. Everyone who is successful has worked hard for it. But if I had to choose a role model, It would definitely be Nikhil Sahni aka NYK. Although there was never a direct mentoring but the learning came through close observation. His music is different, the way he progresses a set is different, the fact that he does a lot of homework and introduces new sounds to the audience is well noticed eg the Play life Podcast. He is a perfectionist. The sets I play today are very powerful and attention-grabbing, and it’s a reflection of the kind of music he imparts. It’s not about playing a 2-hour set, it’s about the experience the audience takes back home. I also have high regards for Dj Jasmeet from Bangalore. He isn’t just a DJ, he is a performer and that’s what is the call of the hour. From rock clubs to weddings with 6-hour sets all over the country, there is a lot of learning to take away from him.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

What makes me different is that not only do I play at 2-3 hours sets, within the duration I take them through a musical journey. I play tracks which they don’t expect. There is a gimmick I do with a ringtone which no other DJ in India is doing (I am guessing so), and it blows their minds, they simply don’t expect it coming. I never have a pre-planned set. All DJs are probably playing more or less the same remixes I play in my sets, the differentiating factor is the way I present it to them, that makes a lot of difference. The right track at the right time, that’s what works for me.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

I make the crowd interact. That’s my mantra to keep the crowd hooked. The first 4 tracks I play gives me a vibe of how and what I have to play for the rest of the event. I don’t go talking over the mic to interact with them, my music does it for me. They get so engrossed into it. And up from at the console, it is a heavenly feeling. I do possess this ability (maybe through experience, IDK) of understanding the mood of the audience in a space very well. Sometimes your best tracks don’t work, so I know how to go for an alternative and deliver what they would like, maybe by shifting genres or playing something completely unexpected.

As a kid, I was always intrigued by the idea of cooking & innovating different and new dishes.

Also, I always felt it is a noble honor when one cooks for a starved soul.

What is the one cuisine that you are most comfortable cooking?

Paroma

DJ Paroma:-

DJ Paroma started off her career as a cabin crew at a tender age of 18 for a very reputed airline. That’s when DJ Paroma flew international for a while and visited a lot of clubs around the world and came across so many different kinds of music. She, then, decided she would be taking up DJ’ing in her near future and was sure she would excel in it! The sense of beats and rhythm came straight from within, naturally!

Taking absolute pride in representing two renowned brands as their Brand Ambassador, V-Moda and UDG Gear (representing India on their worldwide website amongst the top djs of the world), featured in 3 television shows as DJ Paroma, having done several official remixes for Bollywood, Dj Paroma has definitely come a long way and climbed the ladder of success, not to forget, always being thankful to her fans for their love

What inspired you to be a DJ?

Well, I am someone who sure dreams but I never have a concrete plan for the future. I take each day as it comes. The pressure then, to make a right career choice after giving up on three different fields before, led me to choose something that I found close to my heart, which was music! Djing was not with an intention of keeping it as a hobby. I wanted to make a living out of something I really liked and gave me the space to be creative. That is how I gave myself a deadline to explore in this industry and by God’s grace, it all worked well. The idea arose out of a need, to feel content with what I am doing, and giving an objective and a goal towards my passion and profession.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

I’ve been following (Dutch DJ, remixer) Armin van Buuren. He’s been around for a really long time. I also like (Norwegian music producer) Kygo. In India, I have been blown by artistes like Nucleya. Though I’m not inclined to drum and bass or dubstep (genres of music), I really get inspired by Indira Kanawade aka Smokey. She is an absolutely great talent and it’s a treat to watch her play live.

How would you describe your style?

A lot of DJs specialize in one genre. I am not one of those people. I like to play lots of different styles in my mixes. I play mostly Electronic and Bollywood but I also like to throw in hip-hop, RnB, disco into my sets.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

As a performing artist, it’s your job to entertain the crowd. Along with your musical talent, you need to know how to engage your audience. Without an energetic crowd, people won’t be able to connect with your music. The only way a gig is going to be a triumph is if the crowd digs it, and you’re not likely to get them pumped if you’re just there to boost your own ego!

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

I think the connect that I have with my fans and audience is very pure and genuine, could be live at gigs or on my social media. I can never fake my happiness. If I am having a bad day, it clearly shows on my face. There have been times when the audience has uplifted my spirits. Djing is very sacred to me. I hate those who become Djs only for the sake of it and sadly there are many. My fans know my genuineness and I will always do my best to keep them entertained until the day I am in the industry. I wont say there are no artists like me, but I am who I am ☺

Manish Puri

DJ Manish Puri:-

In my 20 years career, DJ Manish Puri have always tried to play sounds which are new and unique and hence tried to fit in a DJ’s job of teaching the crowd with new music. Clubs have always been more like a religious place where DJ Manish Puri have always stepped in not only to be recognized with respect but also to give people a good time and experience which will always make them come for more and make them feel different about the place and music.

Playing regular music which has been played in every other club around the corner has never been my concept. Hence this is what had made me stand apart and my music reaches out to good listeners and followers.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

My first ever experience of a DJ was in the year 1997, after my 12th board exams, when I heard a DJ playing at IG stadium for a concert called Mr & Miss High School. The thumping sound in that huge closed stadium moved my heart and soul and that was the moment when I decided that this (DJ ) is what I want to be in my life.

If you had to switch your style to another genre, what would it be?

House has been my all-time favorite. I have always loved to play commercial clubhouse mix with a funky and upbeat house. So even today if someone asks me to play the music which I love the most, House is my favorite.

Who is your biggest inspiration? / Who do you have a lot of respect for?

My biggest inspiration has always been Dj Sunny Sarid and Dj Jazzy Joe. And I have immense respect for Dj Sunny Sarid. Anybody in this world can teach you the ways, to be honest, famous and inspire you to work hard but Sunny sir has always told us and make us understand the importance of being humble and not to loose ourselves while being on top. He is my ideal mentor and I still cherish the chit chat sessions I use to have with him every Friday and Saturday night after finishing our working hours in Dublin.

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

I feel that over the period of time I have worked at a lot of places and with a lot of various and multi-genre DJ’s. So my repertoire starts from playing slow Rock to retro to hip hop to house. I somewhere feel that my exposure has made me strong enough to stand in any kind of working atmosphere and understand the vibe of the place and crowd and modulate the music and sound accordingly. Hence I’ll not say it makes me different but certainly a bit unique and adoptive to the whole condition around.

How would you describe your style?

My style is very adaptive to the club, circumstances, and people around me. For example, a bar where the main emphasis is on food and liquor, there the hard banging style music doesn’t work. Hence the priority will be to make people comfortable in their own zone as they have come to chill and talk and not hear banging music. Hence my music will be kind of deep house and nu-disco towards the later hours. Similarly, if I’m playing at a big room club then again my slot makes the difference of the music. For the early evening, I’ll prefer some know commercial easy tunes and will later shift to more contemporary dance numbers, maybe some bouncy EDM or some mashups.

What inspired you to be a DJ?

‘MUSIC’ when I started listening to music, I realized a certain kick, that ‘something’ running down my spine. Eventually, I realized this is what I want.

Playing whole night compromising your sleep, is it totally worth?

Precisely it is worth playing and being next to nocturnal animal besides managing my twisted body clock.

How do you get the crowd pumped?

My crowd is the most essential motto to play. They are my ULTIMATE. You see a mixed crowd entering clubs these days, people NOW know music and understand it too. Hence they have their own favorites. With experience, one gets to know what is the crowd expecting from us. We have to empathize and understand the crowd. Not always do you find audience wanting to play Peppy numbers, there are times when ‘Love is the air’ and you tend to turn the notes from Dancy to Bollywood romance, the only difference is they see my hands widespread and Not Shahrukh Khan’s

What is it about you that makes you different from other DJs?

‘Self Praise is no recommendation’ like you can’t judge the book by its cover. Hence you got to attend my show to find it and believe it. I prefer playing exclusive edits and remixes which makes my set unique from others.

Current main challenges as a DJ? What’s your future plan?

There’s a rat race in every profession these days. But, I AM NOT A RAT. I am going at my own pace. There’s indeed a cut-throat competition which at times hampers other DJs because there are few ruining the market with free services or dearth cheap prices. Future plans – Would love to be a Music Producer or an Arranger for Bollywood.

Lishika Chirawala & Yashvi Jain, two extremely enthusiastic best friends who have to know each other for over a decade now. Lishika, who is pursuing B.COM with MBA(marketing) lined up in the near future is a complete maverick to whom the idea of blogging first struck.

Blogger Travel Food Love |Kolkata| have got all that requires to run a passionate page- devotion, madness, creativity, patience, confidence, curiosity and that friendship of understanding. Blogger Travel Food Love |Kolkata|are strong-headed and do not refrain from experimenting with new fields which will surely lift them up to new heights.

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

Food, to us, was something we always escaped to. No matter in what mood we are, a plate of any kind of good food always brings back that feeling of content.

Then blogging came into the picture which honestly happened out of nowhere. One thing that helped us to create our page was our constant hunger to know about various cuisines, it’s a place of origin, food culture, food habits, etc. and what’s the point of the knowledge if you can’t use it!

What is your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

Our page “travel.food.love_” as the name suggests is predominantly about FOOD & TRAVEL coalesced with other things we are fond of like fashion, lifestyle, etc.

We started blogging on the 21st of May, 2018 and this year we completed a year. A year of creativity, meeting new people, limitless learning, creating content, spreading awareness and above all enjoying ourselves.

We try to reach out to as many people as possible who connect with us on food, travel and many more things. Currently, we are going strong with 12.4k followers and with the belief, we have on our content we’ll surely reach to new levels!

What do you think food blogging will look like in 5 years?

A present time where the internet plays a major role in everyone’s life, people are just out there speaking their mind on every possible topic. It was in the recent past that everyone could come in terms with blogging and considering it as a full-time job. Some people are there because they love to do it, some to make money, some just for the sake of social life and others to criticize with a mask on.

We as food bloggers do not consider ourselves as a critic or rate card producers, we are here as a voice of the customers constantly trying the food and suggesting it’s the better version.

Since the idea has just sunk in, 5 YEARS DOWN THE LINE food blogging will surely create its own place by gathering more trust from food shops, having new doors for the bloggers to explore and will have people ready to invest in marketing and promotions to bring new places in light.

Because love for food is going nowhere!

Which part of blogging excites you most: the recipe development, the post writing, or the photography?

Part of blogging that excites us the most is definitely not the recipe development. We love hogging on food more than preparing it.

On the other hand, we have a thing for photography and we run for crash classes whenever time permits. Also, photographs are something that can immediately attract viewers so we make sure we get the best shots for our page.

It might sound cliche but post writings genuinely come from the first thought we have after seeing a picture. It is certainly time-consuming to put words together but we try and make it worth reading. It just adds on to the impact of a photo.

So yes it’s a thumbs up for photography and posts writing……recipe development; maybe next time!

Do you have any special blogging tip for new bloggers?

Not that we have aced blogging, but the first and foremost tip is you have to be extremely PATIENT. You have to always be in terms with the reason you started blogging in the first place which is mostly because of the love for that thing.

Then comes the creative thing which is the CONTENT. It has to be authentic because there are hundreds of bloggers out there and you need to give a reason to the viewers to like you, hence content in the king. Keep thinking and experimenting until you can connect with the world. Socialize and connect with other bloggers because there’s always something to learn and just put your best foot forward.

And most importantly you’ll learn from your own journey so good luck!

From a very young age, I took a keen interest in tasting food and understanding what goes into its preparation.

It is incredible to see the variety of flavors one can experience with the use of ingredients such as herbs, garlic, olive oil, butter, cream, exotic meat, truffle, and vegetables.

When are you happiest at work?

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

In the year 2012 when we (Parmita and Sameer) started to know each other, we found that our common passion lied in relishing good food for which distance knew no bound. All that could make us both happy was exploring good food at different places regardless of the cuisine and this leads us to numerous food places in and around Mumbai. While this common passion bonded us with marriage we thought of committing to our fervor by sharing our experiences with fellow enthusiasts and what better than social media would we have thought of. This lead to the inception of a food blog which is today popularly known as Mumbai Food Trail.

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

Our blog is majorly about food experiences at various eateries in Mumbai categorized from being Michelin Star restaurant to not so famous street vendors. We also share our travel experiences from around the world with our followers whenever we hit the road. We have garnered the love of over 100K fellow Indians in this process and are proud that the majority of our Instagram family is from Mumbai.

It’s been over 4 years of experience sharing across various social media platforms now and has become an indivisible part of our lives. Though we have our professions to keep us busy through the weekdays we perseveringly find time in evenings and on weekends to keep alive our passion.

Which part of blogging excites you most: the recipe development, the post writing, or the photography?

While you passionately work towards something, you expose yourself to new learning’s; one tends to find hidden interests and talents. For us, it is the zeal that a perfect click gives us. While Parimita love to be in the frame, Sameer loves to capture the most delicious clicks from behind the camera. Our satisfaction in eating a beautifully plated dish or a street delicacy is incomplete without capturing a drool-worthy click.

But one thing to vary in the future would be the authenticity of it all. Blogging out of Passion vs. Blogging for all the wrong reasons.

Gastrohogger | Karthik Gandhi | Hyderabad

Gastrohogger by Karthik:-

Gastrohogger by Karthik Gandhi, 35, an IT Manager by profession but a hardcore foodie at heart has a big appetite and hogs a lot. With a blog brand name as GastroHogger, he shares his experiences in all places he visits and food promotions/festivals from restaurants all around the Land of Biryani. GastroHogger is all about being a sharing experience to a common man who loves food and connects the vibe on it.

What is the story behind your blog’s name?

In continuation from my appetite which got matured during my US long stint, I continued to hog a lot if the food connects to me and then I thought I would share my experiences as a foodie on things that people should/must explore. I wanted to come up with a name that’s not region specific but gets to readers in a funky way. I hog and I blog and hence GastroHogger was born. Hence the tag line as well “KEEP HOGGIN… KEEP BLOGGIN…”

Why did you decide/inspired to start a food blog?

I was sharing my feedback/review in YELP in the USA and then in Zomato & Facebook after I moved back to India, but then I couldn’t explain myself into a restrictive space. I wanted more space and thought freedom to give my readers the wholistic experience than just say eat this & that and it costs this much. I want readers to relish the food that I got to as if they were there. If it doesn’t connect your 6-7 hrs. per blog is in vain.

What’s your blog about? Who reads it? How long have you been blogging?

My blog is not a super luxury style blogging site to promote a whole lot of agenda. It’s plain n simple a common man being a foodie sharing his dining experiences in a wide cadre of restaurants in and around Hyderabad. Its foodies in various Facebook foodie groups, friends, colleagues who read and give their feedback on visiting those places. I start this as a smalltime hobby or rather pass time in 2015 and then it just evolved like any other passion would do. It just grew in me to be consistent, transparent and expressive up until now and I hope I continue being a common foodie.

What do you think food blogging will look like in 5 years?

I think the era of detailed blogging is fading. My turnover per month has also gone down to sheer pressure of how to get your word fast and blogging somehow hasn’t been able to catch up. I feel it’s the era of #Instabloggingwhich is now the buzz. Even a textual writer like me is forced to be in Instagram and active to be a relevant blogger. Slowly I think blogging will or should move into a cuisine based / food exploration space where you talk more about history, the connection between cuisines, share your knowledge. I hope people still take up blogging and I do know many chefs – home chefs – bakers do but I want general bloggers as well to keep up to this. Evolution is unpredictable but I hope we still get to hear “bloggers” in the next 5 years.

Do you have any special blogging tip for new bloggers?

Definitely not an expert in it but as a person who has done the journey for the last 4 years.

Don’t take short cuts. Read and understand about food before writing/reviewing any food or place.
Express freely without any judgmental criticism. Content should be satisfactory
Never get judgmental as a food critic because there is always someone who is more knowledgeable about you. BE HUMBLE
Identify a tag name and handle that you can connect and emote. Don’t take names that’s generic and just to show you are a blogger in hyd or XYZ. The name is your identity
Focus on quality of content than no. of blogs. Yes, initially you will head rush but then take it slow as you set in
I know it’s costly but once you get your website done, please get a domain and publish regularly.
