Hello, Everyone!
My name is Faisal Alam SIddiqui. I was born in a small town Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India and have been spending my life in different places. I spent my childhood and teenage time in Shahjahanpur. Then, I continued my study in Shahjahanpur. In this city, I also started home tution.while graduation, i geography, so that we are studying map and making map different kind off. in post gradation i was studied advance cartography and mapping in 2008, till the time i didn’t use smart phone or google maps. in graduation and post graduation we have study tour, so that we all classmate visited Haridwar, Rishkesh, Dehradoon, Agar, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Jabalpur and Balaghat in three years of time. my teacher give me the task of finding hotel around these cities and other place, so that time i was used google map.
for higher education i moved to International Institute for Population studies, Mumbai. here we spend our time in different place of mumbai
after completing my higher education i come back delhi and join a private company as Business analyst.
I borrowed a new android mobile in 2010 which is google map enable, here is the journey started, which i didn’t realize at that time. in 2012 i purchase a samsung tablet, in which i more comfortable to use google map and i started updating pic and reviewing, still i didn’t know my strengths as google local guide.
As a part of Local Guides, taking pictures, writing review, and making a list of visited places has been my routines in every journey. For me, the most interesting part of being Local Guides is the process of learning, guiding, and giving motivation for other local guides from different cities that I have visited. It becomes as one important opportunity for my life, not only giving a contribution on the internet, but also giving a real life contribution for the people. I met some new people, discuss the hottest issues, and share about the way to review and to give positive and informative contribution to other people.
I am working as development professional since last 8 years and got chance to visit different part of India. sometime i visited remotest part, where some time i unable to find data connection, but thanks who give the option pre download the area, which can help during visit (Laddakh region).
moreover when i visiting different part of village, but with the help of google map i can found tinny and remotes villages as.
Thank You much for reading this
