The most interesting thing I have done : Helping community as a local guide

As a local guide, I write reviews , share photos , answer questions , add places that makes a significant contribution to our community. Here are some of my contributions:

India Chai : Added a new place

Chai – The drink india can’t live without .Chai is more than just a cup of tea to start a day. It is the most popular drink.

I shifted to a new area 2 years back and the first thing that I look around is for a tea shop. Voila ! I found a new one and added it on google maps.

I was excited to add this place to the map .Its been viewed over 6k times. Although there are lot of tea shops around my area but most of them have 1 type of tea. What I really like about this place is the variety of tea they provide and with some delicious snacks. I really love ginger-elaichi chai here. Nice, clean interior and good lighting gives it a sparkling look

Helmet Shop Tabrez : Added photos and reviews

As I love to ride bike I was in a search for a helmet shop . As usual , I looked up for the same on google maps . I came across this interesting shop that I almost missed as it had a hoarding of a garment shop rather than a helmet shop.
As you can see in the below picture the name of the shop appears to be Fashion : the branded store . This certainly misguides people causing slowdown in the business

Thus, it felt right to put his shop picture on the google maps and provide reviews so that more number of people can identify this shop.

I went to this shop again (after 3 months) and the owner was quite happy that more people are coming and recognising his shop. It felt really good to contribute my bit in helping him through the platform of local guide.

I am a level 6 local guide, I have added 300+ photos which have been viewed more than 3,00,000+ times. I write reviews, provide ratings and add photos to the places that I visit regularly. By doing all these activities I make a significant impact on community .
