I am a software engineer by profession and now a content creator by heart. I did my schooling from Jharkhand (hometown), completed my engineering from Orissa and currently pursuing my job life in Mumbai.
Through out my life I have been switching between states which planted a sapling of exploring food from the very beginning. Back in college I was a socially introvert person. I knew least about social media but who knew life was about to throw an unexpected twist super soon.
I came to Mumbai on April, 2018 and life was not at all easy after that. I wanted to keep my self occupied in something which will give me happiness and that's when my food blogging journey started on January, 2019. I started my food account on Instagram with a very selfish reason of being happy but soon my content became happiness for others. And I am forever grateful for that.
2. Which is your favorite cuisine and dish?
Italian and Pizza forever favorite.
3. Should food blogging be just a passion or can it become a regular career?
What "food blogging" can be, will always be the output of one's own decision. But yes if we talk in general about food blogging as a regular career then I just wanna say "Food Blogging is an emerging business".

Someone can earn more than a basic salary but not for free. By free I mean, initially you have to invest time, hard-work and uniqueness which will later grant recognition to you. And then earning will automatically come to you.
