Mozez Singh- Director, Producer, Screenwriter who is currently working on an OTT thriller /drama Human and plans on spending his birthday shooting for this project. The next big thing on Mozez's plate is a feature film. It is a very grand film set in the LGBTQ community. He has written it with a couple of more writers and will be working on it once he is done with Human. He hopes to smash all stereotypes with this project. Making this film will be a personal mission for him. While speaking about his upcoming thriller/drama thriller "Human", Mozez tells us that the idea of Human came from my producer and co-director Vipul Amrutlal Shahdir Vipul. While Mozez wrote the series with his co-writer wrap to but Vipul and Mozez have directed it together. Mozez met Vipul in 2019 and Vipul said that he had a film script based on human drug trials. Mozez read the script and though it he was not crazy about it, he loved the idea of human drug trials and thought that it was something unique and new. So he told Vipul that he would like to take the concept and come back with a completely brand new story. Mozez expresses with joy that “ Vipul Sir has been an incredible producer and collaborator and he has really given me all the freedom to shoot tell the story I want to” Ishani and Mozez went and developed it over three months, with characters and story and Vipul loved it. Human is a very out-of-the-box story and it pushes the envelope in many ways. The Human team is sure the show will surprise and shock the audiences. "The best way to spend my birthday used to be having a crazy party but with time that has changed a bit and now it’s just a pleasure to be working on any birthday. We are just trying to work stuff out and we are in the middle of shooting our series Human. I am shooting on my birthday but there are a lot of restrictions that have come up due to Covid-19. Just to be working and going out and shooting, given that there are a hundred precautions that we have to take, it is great that I am continuing to shoot on my birthday." : Mozez Singh -Writer/Director Mozez is also in discussion with a few more series, apart from Human and the LGBTQ film. He has been approached by studios and producers wraps to develop a few more projects. He is working on quite a few projects but doesn't want to take on too much on my platter and will take up something full-fledged once he wraps Human and the feature film.

Hello, Readers I am Mahima Choudhary- an Instagram Influencer My Instagram page is all about food with some glimpse of beauty. you can visit the page from here and have a look , This is the link https://www.instagram.com/foodiiotic/ Here’s the back story - I’m a big foodie since childhood. Apart from eating, I love cooking too. I used to click different shots of different cuisines due to which I had many collection of different dishes. So I thought why not make a separate page where I’ll post my collection. So without any intention of becoming an influencer, I just made a page ‘Khaate jaao’ on 25th January 2020 where I used to post my collection just for my leisure time. After some months, one of my close friend Gautam Khanijo asked me if he can also join this, so we both started a new journey and changed the name ‘khaate jao’ to ‘foodiiotic’. Gautam really helped me in growing this page And genuinely without him, I don’t think Foodiiotic would grow. After some months we saw that we’re getting a very good response so we started working as an influencer collaborating and promoting other brands too. Though Gautam got busy due to his career building, Now I handle this page solely. But Gautam will always be the foodiiotic partner as he was there when foodiiotic was nothing. Now I’ve also added some beauty content to foodiiotic and it is also getting a good response. Soon we’re going to reach the 10k milestone and really would give credits to me, Gautam, My family, my close friends and obviously followers who gave us so much love. Thank you for always supporting us. We’ll always try to post some entertaining and useful content that our audience would love. But it’s not an easy job to acquire because competition is steep (who doesn't want to make money from posting on Instagram?), and it takes more work than meets the eye. In the first few months after I started my Instagram account, I quickly realized that throwing a photo a day out into the world of social media in hopes that someone grabbed onto it wasn’t going to be enough if you have your heart set on becoming an Instagram influencer—and specifically, a food influencer— then you’ll work out good at end just by working on it and focusing mainly on organic reach and not be engaging in loops, engagement groups and all ( I’m a sufferer lol ) that’s why Ithe just focus on real organic reach only and this is the real success. Here are some suggestions I’ll give from my experience to grow as a food influencer collections 1. Be real and post content that a large audience will like - this is important as getting liked by large amount of users will help in growing the page. 2. Interact with the followers - we’re a food influencer just with the help of our followers. Interacting with the audience is majorly important. 3. Be patient and not to get panic if we don’t get good collaborations and reach - Instagram is now changing and it’s harder and harder to get good influencer deals because so many [people] have offered their photos for free in the past six to seven years and have, in essence, driven the market value and the profession down. That doesn’t mean that you can no longer earn a paycheck as an Instagram influencer. But it may mean that, in some instances, you accept goods—in place of cold, hard cash—for your influencer services. Brands know that they can get great deals for themselves, many times for free or for merchandise trades. To start, that may be the path to go with But, as you go on and gain followers—and if you have a genuine message to share—you can definitely succeed, especially if you have a mind for sales and business, and have good negotiation skills.

I wish them and all the siblings out there a very Happy Sibling’s Day.” Farhana Fatema, aka Shanti Mishra, shares, “My younger brother Saif and I share a close-knit bond.

We rarely get the same quality time now, so don’t forget to share the love this Sibling’s Day.” Tanvi Dogra, aka Swati, shares, “If I had to give life another word, it would be my brother.

I love him to bits, and this Sibling’s Day, I shall pamper him to express my love.” Rohitashv Gour, aka Manmohan Tiwari, shares, “To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We were two brothers and two sisters, a full house indeed! We know each other as we always were, we have known each other’s hearts, we share inside jokes.
