Guys, I complete 5 years of blogging today, I started this blog in Nov 2015 and five years hence I have traveled many miles. The journey took me to more than 40 countries around the world and I have just finished my 23rd Book which is now published on amazon.com and KDP select. I have also 5 audiobooks selling on audible and iTunes. The journey took me to many places and I spoke to many people unearthing many stories. From attending blogging conferences to giving guest lectures on blogging I have traveled much. My latest learning is about selling digital content and doing IPR deals in Bollywood as I managed to sell two of my books which will be made into digital content as web movies. My primary revenue source is through my audiobook and book sales and now with digital rights of my books being sold that is an added revenue stream.

I have executed events like Kumbh Ka Mela 2019 and done video blogging which has got me no revenue. My Followership has gone but very modestly with over 31k followers on my Facebook page. I became a PAD-I certified scuba diver and even made videos in Antarctica, making my photo books and many friends on the way.

I became an expert in understanding photography and learning about the internet and social media.

I created many controversies on the way, was banned by my batch mates for writing about my ex campus life in my book. I also slept with Rashmi Verma, my blog was reported by Anupriya Goenka for distributing my naked videos. I created a network of book shops and outlets where my books are now being sold. From Biryani wala’s in Allahabad to food outlets in Oshiwara I bartered my blog writing for free food. I gave interviews to my old Radio station Bog FM and even managed to get a role in a Sanjay Dutt film.

So much happened in my life all documented through my writings and through my books. Five years hence I feel good and mellow. There is something to be happy about but then there is still a void in my heart. It’s as if five years was nothing I feel I need another five years of this journey there is so much of the world yet to be explored.

So what did I learn and what can I teach others through my journey, well I can give people hope and help them to aspire for more. The can-do spirit and help them full fill larger goals, I can motivate you, not to mention make youtube videos. The journey has taken me through four iPhones and four laptops, not to mention one go pro that I lost in London at my friend’s place. I have been hosted by many friends and well-wishers on the way. Meeting spiritual guru’s, saints, aghodi’s, and priests alike. It has been my own journey my own experience as I have done it all alone without any co-traveler with me.

In between, I reviewed other people’s books, write guest posts, taught others how to blog like Kavita Kumble and Mandakini. I made many girlfriends on the way and saw many mountains and streams. After five years of Blogging and building my digital business, I feel good that I created a revenue stream from my Hobby and was able to teach others on the way. I did contests on my blog and even placed branded ads on my blog. I also had a lot of other people contributing to my blog and managed to get quality content for free. Teaching others on the way and loving them too. From getting book bloggers to review my books to doing PR releases it has all been worth it. In the middle I fought a court case with my servants which got settled in time leaving me free and light, that was the only thorn in my skin for a while. So much has happened and my blog has been a witness to all, in which I have been pouring my heart too. The blog has been like my silent witness just seeing my thoughts without judging anything. I created songs for my web series and sold them as digital content.  All this has been my joy and my song.

Sony Liv a Digital Feast

Just saw some of the rushes and scenes from the digital film Scam 1992 which is based on the iconic rise and fall of the Big Bull also known as Harshad Mehta who once ruled the Indian stock markets as the top trader in Mumbai. I am sure Wall Street must be one of the inspirations that the makers would have taken. The Scam took place in the year 1992 and the ready forward deal was used to do it. Hear Harshad Mehta who ran a brokerage firm acted as a go between various banks and the government where he traded in government securities which were used by banks to lead money to each other. Over time Harshad had developed a great network where he would borrow money from Banks by giving them fake receipts and then using that money as a float for a period of time. This he did by building a chain of lending banks, the float was then used to buy stocks and trading in the market with high liquidity he was able to manipulate the stock market and increase the price of nay of the stocks. The rising market would bring in more retail investors that would push the stock market indices even higher.

He would then sell his stocks at a healthy profit as the markets went up in the bull run and then return the money to the banks in return taking back his fake receipts. The scam went on un noticed as the markets rallied, but when the bear phase kicked in the panic buttons where pushed as Harshad lost huge money and was unable to pay the banks what he had borrowed.  A Times of India Journalist exposed the Rs 5000 crore scam in a news story and in months CBI arrested Harshad who was being hailed as the messiah of the markets till then as he had also bought in a lot of investors to the market he was a hero for many small time investors who profited during the bull run.

The digital movie now showing on Sony Liv looks smart and smashing the images and the shots are catchy and so is Pratik Gandhi who plays Harshad Mehta in the film. The man had a sad end he died in 2001 eight years after the scam broke spending time in prison and finally died of a heart attack, I am sure the pressure of 600 suits many of them still running after his death took its toll on him.  A la ! the wolf of wall street he perished, at his peak he owned many luxury cars and bungalows around the city and was admired by many of his workmates as a messiah but like all messiahs the fall is inevitable.

The parlance of greed is good rules the markets and Harshad was its biggest star, he was the first big success and failure of Indians open market system. A icon or a devil it depend how you see him, but one thing was for sure he was a rock star that shone for a while and then perished under the weight of his own ambitions. I still remember reading his story in India Today and the Sunday magazine in those days, I would follow the scam on New Track even a battery of big lawyers like Ram Jethmalani could not save him from his doom and the weight of his down fall must have affected his mental and physical health. At the end he died with nothing but debt on his head, a testimony that greed doesn’t pay in the long run.

I stare afar from the window of my hotel view, I see the sun shining in the afternoon sky all bright and yellow throwing it’s energies into my room through the opaque window, I can feel the warmth of the sun rays on my skin and on my back. The in room air conditioner keeps things inside cool keeping some room for the warm sunlight to dive in and brighten the room, the cabinet lights are still on as I have moved the curtains so that I can have the flush view of the sea and the beach.

The hotel garden and lawns stare at me from below their is water in the pool and a small watering hole with orange fish floating carelessly tapping at the are as droplets of cool pool water fills the moist air to give some relief to the dry surrounding air that flows aimlessly. The sea is calm yet active as the sun light throwing an orange and yellow hue on its grey surface. The waves Lap up the seashore hitting the sand with gusto as many walkers and joggers hurry up and down the beach, throwing sand into the air.

The coconut and palm trees that surround the garden move sideways as a brisk breeze flows through. The pool water is cool and the goldfish hungry, it seems that they are in luck as a fellow travellers throws Bread crumbs at them. The fish feed themselves as he moves across the narrow pool feeding them all one buy one. I have seen him often hear at this time of day feeding the fish or just walking on the narrow bridge and walkway built in the garden. Nice way to idle time I suppose, with the lockdown this is a good way to pass time.

The vast sea at times shows the arrival of a ship floating across the horizon, one can see motor bats or a small fret at times bobbing up and down, but the sea is empty this afternoon as the hot air collides with moist sea droplets to create a clam and tranquil atmosphere.

Pigeons and doves fly over the garden diving from high up in the sky to the shallow pools that litter the green garden lawns. Decorated with blue beach chairs with blue cushions it is a party feel but there is no party happening as the garden is empty with a lone walker taking an afternoon walk on the walkway.

With a belly full of friend rice and beans I sit on my couch just staring at the sea wondering what else awaits me ahead in my Mumbai Saga.

A was a bit disappointed and heartbroken when I started posting some pictures of my book covers on the Anupriya Goenka My Love Page. I saw that the moderator had given badges to the top two fans of the page a gentleman called Debashish and one other fan got the top two badges for the month. Now I know for sure that in the past four months since I have got access to this page I have been posting regular content on this page which includes videos, pictures, book covers, book narrations, and a lot of other content related to my web-series on this page in a bid to woo the goddess of erotica. I was disappointed why I was not given a bade for being the top content contributor to this page.

Over the decade since I have known the Diva and The Miss mystery, I have made and developed a lot of content which has been inspired from Anupriya and parses her beauty, sonnets, songs, poems, and poetry books too. I deserve to get a badge of honor for my contributions on her page as I must be without a doubt her most ardent fan.

So please Mr. Moderator gives me a top fan badge also for my content contributions and videos.

Happy That Anurag Kashyap Will Be Directing Party Girls Says Author Anuj Tikku

Author Anuj Tikku is excited about his best-selling book; Party Girls is being adapted into a digital film for Amazon Prime Video India.

The film is titled ‘Party Girl’, a digital movie adapted from a book of the same name authored by Anuj Tikku, who has authored 22 books and runs his travel blog. The film is a peek into the erotic and fantasy world of Party Girls. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been roped in to helm the project and dapper Jackie Shroff will be seen playing the lead in the movie.

Talking about the book being adapted into the film, Anuj said, “Adapting a book into a movie is a tricky affair, and I am happy that Anurag Kashyap will be helming the project. He is capable of creating a world where the story is set”

The film Party Girl revolves around an event management company run by a rustic Hindi speaking Bhaiya from Banaras called Yaar. His network of twenty-something girls, who fly around flights providing pleasure, love, and sex to many rich and famous admirers around big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. It is a story told by the author in the first person as he slowly gets sucked into the vivacious and pleasure charged world of India’s version of Geisha Girls.

Anuj Tikku is also a noted actor, who has worked extensively in Television and Movie with bigwigs such as Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Kannada Star Sudeep, and many more. The Project will be produced by Ashish Parasher and presented by Rapport Group.

I am happy to announce the launch of my next book The Boy Who saved Buddha which has already become an amazon bestseller on KDP and amazon.com publishing platforms . You can Enjoy the excerpt of the video that I have narrated on my Facebook page and Tikku’s Travelthon page . The story is based in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan where a young Afghan Boy with the help of a British NGO worker saves the Bamiyan Buddha statues from being destroyed by the Taliban .

The book has already sold a dozen copies at its launch and will be worthy candidate for being made into a Digital web movie as well .

I have been fascinated lately watching the Republic Tv and especially the vernacular news channels lately, all have targeted their guns and their anchors at the Druggie Bollywood as one expose after the other hits are between the eye’s as I am bombarded with images of anchors screaming their guts out spewing one expose after another one breaking news after another. I see the mass parading and humiliation of the Bollywood A list actresses, who have been summoned by the Narcotics department and are being grilled for drug consumption and procurement. Deepika Padukone, Rahul Preet, Sara Ali you name it, it’s the fashion parade of a lifetime only this time its dark, drab, sweaty, and desolate. This time these actresses wear no makeup and no designer wear as each one soberly march up for their interrogation sessions with the authorities.

Its a flip fashion parade of sorts, I got a message on my inbox an image it had the photographs of rather sullen-looking starlets walking out of their cars parading to the CBI office in their rather somber shalwar kameez attire the caption under the picture was Manish Malhotra Collection. I thought that was funny and witty, its a Druggie Parade Of Shame, and Arnab Goswami seems to be loving it. He is the man out to clean up Bollywood of drugs and he will not stop until they are all named and shamed. The next batch is the A list actors and now they are throwing code words like S, R, AND V it is a circus out there of maximum proportions as journalists heckle the stars and blare out their narratives on Camera. Now if that is not a mind fuck then what is News is as, if not more entertaining than some of the web series on OTT. And the theme is the same drugs, murder, gangs, CBI, cops, and robbers, it makes for great drama, and even a well educated urban man I am glued to it, attending one watch party after another. The debate raging 24by 7 as people defend and then attack each other, there are all these angles, political, drug or otherwise each angle is explored as the jamboree moves on.

It is like the Colosseum in older Rome the masses need entertainment and someone has to be eaten up. By the lions and thrown to the Bulls as of now it is Rea Sushant’s girlfriend then we have Deepika, they along with Kangana are the three witches of Macbeth often vilified and also glorified by us all. They have their own flaws through and it pains us when these come to the fore. Deepika has had a string of breakups and her deep depression and mental agony are well documented. Kangana her self has indulged in recreational drugs and has a string of married men behind her. And the witch-hunting of Rea for abutment of suicide not to mention being part of a drug cartel. Fallen hero’s and the fallen idol the lot of them they just like us are flawed and we don’t want to see that as they are a reflection of our own flawed and dark natures that we shut into the recesses of our minds. Alas! They are just as fucked as us but with some more money and material possessions.

As I see it instead of burning Bollywood Biggies at the steak the debate should move towards decriminalization of recreational marijuana that is where the debate should go not try and make a section of the population into criminals. Should we really be stoning people for smoking pot or hash or should we see them just as another taker of a recreational high? I am sure legalization is very far away but decriminalization of this can be debated, there is no need to Harass celebrities and hang them to public gallows like this.

Nonetheless, it makes for a great spectacle and is a welcome relief from the drab and real pressing issues like unemployment, the virus, or the economy. So till them, Bollywood will be grilled live and we will see our stars fall to their shame and ultimate doom. There is something sadistic about watching other people’s misery and gloom, it makes one feel lighter the common man feels he is not the only one who is fucked up been the rich and famous are as fucked as he. We are all having a field day watching this freak show from our bedrooms locked up at homes people need their dose of Adeline and trending topics of discussions, this is it.

There has never been a better time to increase your income, even in the face of the novel coronavirus. Here’s how to level up your income during Covid-19.

Learn a New Skill Set

Are your current career skills cutting it for you right? You may want to consider learning some new skills If you have been furloughed from your job, or if you have been laid out entirely. The mass layoffs that have ensued since Covid-19 first rocked the globe have carved out a great window of opportunity to reconsider your current career track.

Coding: The Skill Set of the Future

Nearly every industry has taken a huge hit in our present quarantine society. The tech industry is not one of those industries. In fact, the tech industry is booming like never before. It’s time you made the career switch to the future.

To break into a tech career, you will need to have a solid foundation in programming languages. The exact coding languages you need will vary depending on the tech career path you choose to embark on, but the way you learn how to code should be the same. Coding bootcamps are the future of tech education. If you have decided to go after a bigger income, then coding bootcamps can make that happen.

What Is a Coding Bootcamp?

What exactly is the new form of tech education? Well, for starters, it’s not a $40,000 investment with zero guarantees of a return (i.e. a job). The traditional higher education system in countries like the US is broken. Coding bootcamps are the solution for the broken university system that is single-handedly leading the charge in non-erasable debt in the US. That’s right, student loans, the only type of debt that is impossible to get out of. Not even declaring bankruptcy will erase student loans. There are even accounts of student loan debt being garnished from social security checks.

How Do Coding Bootcamps Work?

Coding bootcamps take a different approach. Instead of a four-year time investment, a typical coding bootcamp takes as little as 10 weeks to complete. A bootcamp from a coding school like Galvanize will teach you how to code through a hands-on, practical approach. You will learn everything you need to succeed, and nothing that you don’t. No lofty theory and extra-curricular elective classes here. Just legitimate coding experience. The best part? Most coding schools partner with local companies that are looking for solid, ready-to-go programmers. This means that your investment in your coding education (a nominal fee when compared to the price of a university degree program) will not only result in a new skillset, but also a job post-graduation. Now, that is a strong ROI for educational investment.

Tech Careers That Pay

Alright. You know where to learn your new coding skillset. Now let’s take a brief look at the tech careers that pay some serious cash. This will help you to decide what tech career to go after.

Data Science

Data science is the process of gathering, sorting, and analyzing human data. Data scientists are responsible for building data collection software that is used to track information for specific purposes. This data helps companies make decisions on everything from hiring to zeroing in on the right sales prospects. Many data scientists play a big role in the development of artificial intelligence.

Consulting companies rely heavily on this data. To progress in a data science career you must be able to build both data collection systems and data organization systems.

A data scientist in the US can make an average salary of $110,000 per year.

Frontend Developer

A frontend developer designs and builds the user experience (UX) of a website or software program. This is the part that the user actually interacts with. The UX is usually coding in JavaScript or Python. UX is one of the main uses of Python.

Software development and digital marketing companies are the two biggest employers of front end developers. Many front end developers also choose to go it alone through a profitable freelance career.

Frontend development is another six-figure earning tech career path, with an average salary of about $120,000.

Conclusion

Covid-19 has carved out the perfect space to level up your income. The best way to do it is by making a career switch into the booming tech industry. You will need to know how to code make this switch. A coding bootcamp is the best way to learn your new coding skillset.

I was just doing some references for my erotica web movie I also slept with Rashmi Verma and went through some great Erotica Films from Hollywood these were films that I used to fantasise about during my teenage years in the UK while I was doing my graduation their . It was sheer nostalgia watching films like 9 1/2 weeks and Two moon Junction , I saw these on video when I was studying at Christs college Blackheath doing my “o” levels and A levels . The Micke Rourke and Kim Basinger Classic . The food play when they have sex while having all sorts of food stuff from the fridge was great and so was the scene when he follows her around the marketplace with a scarf in his hand . Then you have two moon junction when the actress Sheryl Flynn strips bare in font of her lover a rugged construction worker , she bares full frontals and drops on the feet of her lover as if begging for him to make love to her . The subsequent sex session they film it together . Then you have the Jeremy Irons film Damaged which has some great fuck scenes in the hotel room . But the one I enjoyed most was Shame where Michale Fassbender come into his own and stalks a girl in an underground subway , the entire sequence is mind blowing.

Then you have the wild orchid and Mulholland Drive these were great erotic pictures and I was fascinated by them in my teenage years when one is exploring his or her sexuality and the hormones are on an over drive . The movies enjoyed in these years stay closet to the heart movies like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct also fall into the Phycological Erotica Genre and are great examples of how the material should be handled .You have Hale Berry who showed her full frontals in the monsters ball.

Erotica has always been a hit with the youth and the audience throw in some drugs and some Pshyco characters then you have a deadly cocktail and mix .,These are films that I think the director should take cues from while shooting the erotica scenes in my web movie .I find the scent where very tasteful and very erotic . We still have to reach that state of perfection in our films as yet.
