Posting Pictures,
Writing Reviews,
Answering the simple queries,
Striving to add new places and edits,
Improving the my photography skills with the mobile that I carry and what not… Every thing…… Every small and simple upload is an interesting moment to cherish. There were lot of incidents where people recognized me and appreciate e based on the reviews that I gave much earlier to their shop/restaurant or business unknowingly.
A small story :
Once I went for shopping and it was one among the decent show rooms in my locality named as ‘Jalal Silks’. When my billing was done and leaving the counter, the person asked me whether am I Mr.Sivakumar who posted some review about their showroom one year ago.Yes, I nodded after confirming that he is speaking about me. He has shown his entire happiness and love in his eyes and words for a very generous post and pictures that I have given for his showroom. That moment my family were surprised to see how I am connected to that old man who is accidentally the owner. I took his blessings and left the place with lot of happiness.
In India people are divided as per their family ,religion and language .
But when it comes to “helping each other, happiness and humanity all are equal and the same”.
One need another for any purpose of living.
There I felt serving people, creating impact in society, making people happy and answering their queries can also be done by giving a genuine opinion and review through the Google Maps.
Being in temple city Kanchipuram , I visit temples very often and I travel along the south coastal region of India. Here, people believe in each other & ask a lot about their next destination point in every place they go. They come with a vert tight schedule and wants to cover everything within the time limit they have. So, I felt the best way to connect with all is posting the best about that place and timings to visit the same. This really worked out and I got many good replies and comments.
Thereafter, I started contributing more and giving a detailed review on every place wherever I visit.
My Journey now made me to enter into Level-8 Local guide.
Though I miss posting some, Google always reminds me and encourage me to write about all visited places in my own way. Everything I do in Google maps is an interesting thing to me, because somehow it connects me to many.
Entire world is fighting with COVID-19 and we can fight together and stop its spreading. Since, country is under lock down, I am away from my workplace and having a poor internet connection. I am unable to enclose pictures that say about my journey as local guide.
Considering this as my first post in local guides connect, accept my apologies if you find any mistakes.
Thank you.
G P Sivakumar.
Namaste.
