  • Meet Intelligent Content Creator -Ishika Khurana

    1) How do you decide what topics to focus on and what format to use? The most important thing as a social media influencer is to identify your niche and content pillars. The more concentrated and niched your content is in the beginning, the easier it will be to build a community that trusts and enjoys it. Being a social media Influencer, I have to keep a check on the latest trends that are going on, which requires a lot of research work and of course a lot of time and effort. Most importantly, being consistent, Consistency is important if you want to see growth on Instagram and stay top of mind with your fans. I usually pick a schedule and commit to it so your audience knows when to expect new content from you. 2) What makes content successful? Share your thoughts. I think 'creating your own content is what a content creator should be known for, or doing trends in your own way. One shouldn't be merely a follower and should be themselves on social media. At the same time, it is very important to identify your goals, where you see yourself in a long run. Getting a strong social media presence necessitates authenticity, an influencer must ensure they're authentic. It definitely involves being true to your audience. Before you include some brand messaging in your content, think about what your audience cares about. 3) Can you tell me some of your strengths that really helped you as an influencer? I'd say not caring about what people will think about me and doing what I love to, is my strength. People always tried to pull me down but I didn't give up and continued and that's what helped me to go a long way. I always liked learning new things and being an influencer, it forced me to continuously learn and evolve. My confidence has always helped me in conveying my thoughts to my audience. 4) You went through a lot of traumatic experiences such as trolling and bullying. How did you overcome the same? I always received comments about my weight. When I was young, I was often being bullied for being skinny. Not just in school, but my relatives had the same opinion about me. I was still afraid that people would assume I had an eating disorder when I didn't. As I got closer to college, I started to feel more self-conscious about my weight, as everyone said I still looked 15 years old. Body shaming has been something I've closely witnessed and it made me hate myself. I wanted to change my entire body because of the hate it received not only from myself but from everyone. Then I got inclined into reading about body positivity. Body positivity inspired me to love and respect my body. To accept me the way I am. 5) What is your greatest achievement outside this field? I think being kind is the greatest achievement that you can get in life. I've been associated with a lot of NGOs, and we currently are helping covid patients. Helping people to get leads for covid resources for their loved ones, I think that's the biggest achievement of all time if I'm able to save a life. Being kind will make you feel better. It feels good to be kind and helpful to others, and it will make you physically feel better. Not only that, but if you exhibit kindness, others will like you more. I'm personally verifying leads and helping people in this tough time of the pandemic. I think it's really important to step forward for help. 6) Share about your family and followers support. My family is used to wearing many hats and has always embraced and encouraged me to pursue my goals. They've led me, steered me toward my objectives while being unwavering and uncompromising in our values. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, and I'm thankful they taught me the proper life lessons. I've had great support from my followers as well. There was a time when I was low because of the social media hate that I got initially, my family, friends and of course my followers helped me get through it. My followers have been an incredible support for me. I would like to take this moment to thank all my followers for the incredible support which they have been showing me all along. 7) Do you have any specific goals for the rest of this year? As we know the current situation, it's not possible to work on your goals on the ground level. My goals definitely include creating some amazing content for my followers and hopefully starting a youtube channel real soon. Talking about my personal goals, every weekincludes pursuing Equanimity in myself. Equanimity is defined as peak calmness and composure, no matter what life is throwing at you. When you're at your most creative, and the work piles up faster than you can finish it, it's easy to lose track of time and it makes you think your work= your life, though these two are not equal. Limiting your work and making time for all of the other important aspects of life is a noble purpose in life, and definitely volunteering for a charity. I'm connected with 4-5 NGOs at this moment, Volunteering for a charity allows you to get a sense of what life is like for people in less fortunate situations than you. It gives you a fresh perspective on all of your blessings, and it's typically accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude. 8)How active are you on a weekly basis? How often do you communicate with your followers? I try to be consistent, I'm very active on stories, often try to interact with my followers using polls and Q&A sessions. Putting up content thrice a week is what makes my followers excited, to know what's coming next. I also have live sessions where I can connect with my followers directly. I think being able to connect to your followers is one of the best things you can do as a social media influencer because they not only get to see your other side, behind the camera but also get to know different things about you. 9)How would you describe your personal style and is there a person who is a fashion inspiration to you? My personal style would definitely be girly style, it is a feminine style, If you like this look, you'll mostly wear pink clothing and accessories and apply a lot of make-up. Skirts, coats, and blouses with cute details like bows or ruffles, flounces, and lace would be your go-to outfits. My inspiration has to be Dolly Singh, not merely because of her dressing sense but because I very much relate to her. Also, I think it's not about what you wear it's about how you wear it. All we need is confidence to carry them. 10)What 3 things does anyone starting in your industry need to know? IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY. If you by any chance think it's a piece of cake, trust me it's not. You require a lot of hard work, time and effort to survive here. Secondly, just get up and go for it, don't wait too long. If you wanna do something, just do it don't give double thoughts to it. And lastly, believe in yourself. Believe that you will make it till the end. Because if you believe in yourself, anything is possible. 11) On this closing note, share your success mantra. My success mantra is, I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents. Gamify your life by constantly challenging yourself. This will ensure that you continue to drive yourself to new heights. Whatever you do, be enthusiastic about it. If you are doing something and failing/being rejected discourages you, then you are just not committed enough to it. Whatever you do, be enthusiastic about it. If you are doing something and failing/being rejected discourages you, then you are just not committed enough to it. When you're enthusiastic about something, you ignore the flaws and concentrate only on the positive aspects. Most importantly, love yourself. believe in yourself, and do what makes you happy if you really want to know more about me and my work follow me on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ishikakhurana__/ Thanks to Stay Featured for such an amazing interview. See you soon with a lot of achievements

Although The product should be served to my followers/family with love because someone made it for helping others and taking some working and maintenance charge So as it is very important to serve that product out to my followers/family that they should use they should include it in their life Why Because it's not just product it contacting someone's hard work and Dedication. As dealing with this Recommendation of product problem is very major and core point of an influencer's life where He needs to choose the product which is 100% safe, Durable and Useful that after using that people should say "the Product was Unbelievable and Really affordable" So just to grab this sentence it is very Important and pressure for an influencer, he needs to follow Those safe, affordable, useful stages Before Publishing the Particulars. hence to deal with them is to Use the first Check first and Think first is the major stage to implement in daily activity as an Influencer. Question NO.2--- Do you believe an influencer is an entrepreneur?

Answer No.3--- According To my Definition of 'Influencer' Is not as short to describe it's too long but as it's " A True platform to give heights to business, project or Ideal works. And reach to the public base with different Areas and state of mind and introducing the Respective to them as which they will definitely try out the following and get experience as why they will because of the influenced energy by the Influencer and definitely there's double triple profit in this process as I will open everything here In locally The Brand will Reach out to the public base and corner. Peoples will Get the best product or respected thing at an affordable price with good and tested Quality by the trust of Influencers and the introduction created between these two main consequences "Influencer" will also get some love and monetary help also the testing and Trying out for pre-publish as this is the stage where everyone is happy and handle profits. These are what main Steps and points to get figure out. Question No.4 How did you overcome your biggest failure? Answer No. 4--- But being an Influencer is not like that you always get Love and Positive Popularity just keep in mind if you are going to new heights definitely a failure is waiting for you somewhere as anytime anywhere and anyone will be the failure which enters in your Ongoing social life. You need to face that Problem or failure then you need to learn, get the experience and note down the ways and step which help you out because every time there's no Rain we need to store or plan something. Here I would like to share something with you about my personal failure. Due to My Hacked Account It was very difficult to start it from zero I didn't mention my followers they were a total of 40,000+ So After that Many Ongoing campaigns from Brands and it was signed for 2-3 months And much brand Has done some features and Mentioned as Ambassador and promoter so after that the situation was like I don't have followers and Engagement. And after that when brands realised that my Account is not Visible Anymore. They started to mail me and to reached Me And They Already paid and signed the campaign and many of were Didn't paid me because the campaign was remaining up to 35%-70% so I need to drop all campaign even prepaid or postpaid. The main topic is that the image in front of the brand was clear and legit so I need to maintain my repo. I was very tensed then I decided to reach the back and written down the current situation going on so then many of brands allowed me to Resume the campaign and collaboration and also supported me then I committed that again I will provide the best service as more than previous one and now I am feeling that I achieved it.

  • Should teachers be prioritized for Vaccination?

    The first thing on top of mind for everybody when the pandemic hit the world was a vaccine. Now that vaccines are out and the frontline workers were vaccinated on a priority basis, then followed by 45 plus aged is taken up. The third phase of vaccination is to vaccinate all above 18 plus years of age. Now a debate surfaced. The debate is Journalists need to be vaccinated on a priority basis. The teachers need to be vaccinated. Children must be vaccinated. And so on so forth. Though there was a lot of vaccine hesitation in the beginning, thanks to the second wave and in the backdrop of the impending third wave many got inoculated and more are waiting. While hundreds are waiting for the vaccine, an equal number is still reluctant to take the vaccine, for reasons best known to everybody. Among the health workers themselves, quite a large number of people are still hesitating to go for it. The new debate that keeps surfacing on and off is should teachers get Covid-19 vaccination on priority too?. This article will focus only on this group. Why not asks a WhatApp forward?. We spoke to a cross-section of the people to understand the mood. In December 2020, UNESCO and Education International (EI), the global federation of education unions, issued a call to governments and the international community to consider the vital importance of vaccinating teachers and school personnel says Dr Ankam, a former teacher and a founder of Tutors Pride, an online tutor’s resource. Vaccinating teachers and childcare staff will help protect them from the virus and allow them to teach in person without any fear says Ghannarapu Ashok, a Government Teacher. About 19 countries have made teachers a priority group and vaccinated the majority of them. The U.S. is one of 20 nations, listed as putting teachers in the second priority group. This was achieved in the US after lobbying teaching unions for the same. This has helped to persuade President Joe Biden, who called states to move teachers and support staff of the educational institutions up the vaccine list. Adds Dr Ankam Maharashtra teachers and their Unions requested the Chief Minister of that state to give them a priority for COVID-19 Vaccine. Private teachers are jobless for well over a year now. That is why we are even organizing free training to upskill teachers to migrate from traditional classrooms to online teaching. Many teachers, he says, have lost their livelihood. They were sacked. They only know to teach. They have turned into daily wage labourers. Some of them are doing agriculture; selling vegetables, working in petrol bunks, and opening a Tiffin canter. Some teachers have committed suicide. Teachers shape future citizens of the nation. Their services are required for the future of the nation. Teachers must be given due weightage in the inoculation drive, he observed. As states roll out plans to inoculate their citizens, the urgent need to vaccinate teachers is an increasingly pressing concern, says Vanaja, a contract teacher. Lancet's India Task Force said, to reopen schools, teachers should be given vaccine priority, reminded Shrikanth, a Hyderabad based teacher. United Arab Emirates, China, Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Congo, Gambia, Jamaica, Morocco, Qatar, Rwanda, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Belarus have both put teachers in the top priority group Some countries where teachers were prioritized in the first phase are: Belarus, the Republic of and the Central Asian republics of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan Ramakrishna Reddy, Founder & Head and Manthan International School say, Education is one of the most basic needs of any child and the best way that can happen is by being physically present in school. As education is not only an intellectual activity but equally a development of social, emotional and physical skills. It can only be done under the supervision of a trained and dedicated teacher. If teachers are scared of getting infected and most of them do have issues like hypertension, diabetes, etc which makes them susceptible to Covid, running schools wouldn't be possible. So definitely teachers need to be vaccinated on priority as any other front line workers like health care, police, etc says Ramakrishna Reddy, Founder & Head and Manthan International School. There is absolutely no doubt about that! Any nation to grow needs to prioritize health and safety - We have started in the right way by vaccinating our doctors/nurses, hospital workers and policemen. The next priority should be children’s Education. And vaccinating not just teachers by all school support staff/drivers of school buses etc should be the next priority. We have largely lost one year because of the Pandemic. One more year will put millions of children further behind and we as a nation will pay a very heavy price in the future for this, says Dinesh Victor, MD of SIP Academy. Dinesh Victor is one of the names to reckon in India on the subject of Skills Development in children. He has been a champion of the skill development movement in Children in India Adds Harsha Solanki, A Principal of a Private School at Shamshabad, "in our country, where once upon a time Guru was given highest regard in the society, today they are treated with least regard and concern. The fraternity that is responsible for strengthening the future of the nation, who strive relentlessly towards building the nation is blatantly ignored and disregarded. It is high time that they must be brought to the forefront and give them the place that they deserve in society. Yes, teachers must be given priority for vaccination, says she. T. Usha Giri, Psychologist and Life Coach say a large portion of our population is young. Educating them is teaching the community. They are the knowledge givers. Further, one should not ignore that Teachers are always on government duties on the forefront for election duty, census and for any door to door duties etc We have lost one year, says Uma Swaminathan, Regional Head of SIP Academy, a skill development organization. No parent would like to lose another year. Hence, the teachers must be vaccinated on a priority basis. So that whenever pandemic ends, teachers are confident to go back to schools so also the kids, she adds. Teachers are no way less than frontline workers, she adds. Potta Swapna, a Schools Assistant working in a ZP Government High School for girls says UNESCO urged all countries to prioritize teachers in national COVID-19 vaccine rollout plans to ensure education can continue safely and schools remain open. Teachers and their supporting staff must be vaccinated for the future of the nation. While people from the teaching community are in favour of the priority treatment of the teachers, people from different walks of life have different opinions. If teachers and supporting staff are vaccinated it still doesn’t serve a purpose. What about people from different professions. We all are interdependent. If others are not vaccinated, it would not serve the purpose, says Ashwin Rao, a realtor and Secretary of HPS-Ramanthapur Alumni Association. Krishna Mohan Jampala, a Management Consultant says the priority must be given to frontline health workers, police, people with co-morbidities. Pallavi, a Counsellor says teachers can get vaccinated to spread awareness on the safety of the vaccine thus encouraging others to go for it especially in rural areas. "I don’t think they need to be given a priority as the current need is to focus on the vulnerable sections. Given that most teachers are not exposed to students or others today given online education they should be treated at par with other citizens. If the schools or colleges were working then they would have been a category to give priority to.-Viiveck Verma. Advisor Telangana State Innovation Cell Radhakrishna Thatavary, a financial technology expert says as long as teachers are teaching online, we don’t have to think much about them. But, yes, if the schools have to be resumed, it will be a different matter. Santoshi who is associated with a school as an administrator says teachers are similar to any other adult groups. It is not only teachers but all working for a school that can be vaccinated. But, as of now, the schools are conducting virtual classes until the Govt decided to reopen them. Till such time they need not be given priority. Some schools alumni from the medical field or working as doctors have assisted in some of their teachers vaccinated. According to a post on Facebook by HPS-Ramanthapur, one of their alumni got all the current teachers of the school vaccinated. Similarly, other alumni got their beloved retired teachers and sub-staff also got inoculated. Many raised the question that it doesn’t matter who should be given priority. As long as doctors, health workers, frontline warriors like the police are vaccinated we need not worry much about other categories. What we need to worry about is how soon we will get the majority of the population vaccinated. And how soon will they be protected? Do we need to worry about how to overcome vaccine shortage? How to overcome vaccine hesitancy? Ireland and Northern Ireland are said to have fully vaccinated their people. Countries like Serbia, Malta, Hungary, Turkey, though small also have fully vaccinated their population. We need to worry about how to reach the status of the UAE, USA and Israel who worked relentlessly and got a maximum number of their people/population vaccinated. These are small nations. India is big, so also its resources. We are considered as the ‘Vaccine Capital of the World’, 'Pharmacy of the World". And we must live up to its distinction. We must have vaccine booths like we have voting booths. We must also have "Drive-In-Vaccination' facilities. Corporate India is gearing up to vaccinate their employees free, some even thinking of vaccinating their immediate families. A firm message must go that tika-se-hi-teek. It is the vaccine alone that can help us restore normalcy.

  • Victory through Motivation -Careerera offers appraisals to their employees despite Pandemic

    As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak affecting companies in a wide range of industries, a global recession could be on the horizon.

  • Winning awards was nothing new for us but winning worldwide recognition is -We Feel Creations

    We feel creations are on the new milestones when it comes to winning awards. Director Parag Biswas and Dipika Biswas had recently interacted with Stay Featured Team Golu – a seven-year-old girl is upset. She had demanded an internet connection for her computer as her birthday gift from her father. But father gifted her a book instead. She doesn't like reading books and she angrily hands over a note to her dad telling her that she did not like his gift at all and goes to sleep angrily. This is how the 6.27-minute-long English short film from West Bengal, “The Return Gift,” which has bagged a total of fifty awards at top international film festivals across the world, begins and it ends in a most unexpected twist that stuns all. The film which revolves around the unique theme of the need and value of book-reading among the young generations has won both critical and popular acclaim. The film has won best film, best jury, best director, best screenplay, best social message, best editor, best story, best cinematography, best viewers’ choice, best popular choice and best child actress awards. It has bagged these accolades at international festivals in London, Berlin, Karachi, Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Cochin, Travancore, Aurangabad, Patna and Kolkata. The film, which was telecast on the top satellite TV channel Dhoom Music in October last year, is believed to be the only short movie from north-eastern India to have ever won so many awards at international film festivals. The Return Gift, which is based on the usefulness of book- reading even in this world of the internet, has been made by We Feel Creations - the short and documentary film-making wing of the We Feel Social Welfare Society, which is a registered social welfare society. The society, which had been started in September 2009, has since then produced many social welfare short films, documentaries and music movies under the banner of We Feel Creations generate awareness among the masses on several glaring contemporary issues as part of its social welfare activities. The Return Gift, which was done with the main objective of creating awareness among the masses about the need to read books, is based on a story by Parag Biswas and his better half, Dipika Biswas, has been directed by the renowned filmmaking duo, who have also done its screenplay. The noted cinematographer Manob Ghosh of Kolkata is the cameraman of the film, while Subrata Paul of Siliguri, Sourav Saha of Kolkata and Enos Lama of Gangtok have together done its editing. Hrishita Pradhan, Susmita Pradhan, Saikat Majila and Arna Das have played the main roles in the film. Parag and Dipika said that winning awards was nothing new for them but winning worldwide recognition for The Return Gift meant a lot as the theme of the film was very close to their hearts and the post-production of the film was done in extremely adverse circumstances during the first lockdown April-May last year.“We do a lot of welfare activities throughout the year. We also make films on various social issues and our films have won many awards in the past as well. Our next film, “Sabak,” made on the need to have a healthy employee-employer relation, has already won the best film award at Kolkata, two best director awards at Barcelona and Kolkata, the best film nomination and the best editor nomination in Murshidabad and official selections at festivals in London, New York and Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. Our first-of-its-kind music movie on Covid – Sagar Chala Chhobi – which was released on the Bengali New Year on April 15 this year, has also earned rave reviews and won an official selection at London. However, the awards and recognitions that we have won for The Return Gift have a special significance for us and our entire team. The film was shot in January 2020 and the moment the covid scare hit India, the future of the film became uncertain. But thanks to the resilience, fortitude and determination of our team, we were able to edit it and release it on June 25, 2020, following all standard operating procedures for covid. The events connected to its post-production, release and success will always remain in our hearts as the most memorable incident in our lives and the life of We Feel,” they said.

  • IamHere, a new app to help you discover your neighbourhood with a click and creation of an Avatar.

    I recently was introduced to this App through a friend who claimed to meet co-pet owners in Goa for know-hows around, to my surprise this app was much cooler than I expected but before I begin my detailed review, let me tell you that this app is fairly new and hence only selected few referential databases are found, which is good as well as boring maybe... let’s find out. Download: This link was forwarded through my friend and then I got the app through the Play store, though simply searching the same through the App Store for iOS and Play store for android users is not a pain at all. One can log in using the contact number or via Google or Facebook account, I used my number as I keep forgetting my other passwords. in the frame : Naren Kumar - co founder & Ceo, I am here The app asks your device permissions for acquiring your accurate location and accessing your storage, a click and you enter a page with your map location, followed by options to discover your Neighbourhood. Exploring: So here comes the main part, creating a profile, I kept it basic with a scenic picture and subtle description of an ‘Explorer’, post which I checked my Neighbourhood. The Neighbourhood was created to locate my Circle, which is a group of people, professionals and NGOs united with a common interest. The next part was to create an Avatar, i.e., every category had further levels to which you belonged, for eg., Books, Blogs & Writing is a ‘Circle’, while Author, Blogger, Book Publisher, Poet, Writer, etc are ‘Avatars’, that we create to be recognized in a Circle. Usage: Once you enter any Circle, there are stories, posts and event invite related to the category. There was some refined humour spotted equally, surely some friends that I could make. Chatting on the posts was easy and the anonymity was maintained, finally, I decided to hunt in the lockdown through IamHere to check if there were any places open to selling mushrooms at walking distance and guess what, we were four of us eager to get the same answers. Wasn’t the quickest help but after 40 mins there was a comment by a friendly neighbour that I could try my luck through the backdoor of a local café located at a 100 metres distance. It was helpful indeed and I finally got myself some packets of mushrooms for just an extra 10Rs. There is an array of Business networks and NGOs that one can get connected to for offering or expecting some help. My next hunt would be to connect with some food NGOs around. Privacy: The biggest concern arising with the growing virtual world is a privacy about the information shared and accessed via the App, I could reaffirm the anonymity maintained in interactions and no contact numbers shared via Circles unless interacting within a Business Circle, NGOs or hosting an event, which I wasn’t but fair for the access to network quickly. It also gives you an option to block anyone inappropriate and a person blocked by multiple people gets blacklisted. Thereby so far IamHere seems like a fun and useful community to help and be resourceful within our neighbourhood. you can download this app right here Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.iamhere.app&hl=en_US&gl=US
