Thank You Steemians! I've Crossed the 3000 Followers Milestone! Top Author from India and a Quick Recap!

[firepower]

It has been 6 weeks since I came back from my accident to resume work on Steemit. My return has been great even as I was worried people would stop following my blogs around here. I wrote about my most incredible milestone moment on Steemit and I haven't stopped to take a day off since my return.

Today, I woke up to a pleasant surprise of crossing the 3000 followers milestone. It's epic considering I had some 600 followers a month ago. Being a regular as well as an established user has certainly helped. This is my 37th post in the past 6 weeks which isn't bad at all. I've received tremendous encouragement and support from everyone here and I feel so humbled.

I want to take this opportunity and remember some good times from one of my most favourite things from the last year, SteemFest and some incredible friends I made there!

This milestone is also important because it makes me the most followed author from my country, India on Steemit! I feel very proud about this fact and it holds a great significance as I try to popularise Steemit across my country and help on-board new users and influencers from India.

I want to take this incredible opportunity to thank each and one of you.

Your kind support has helped me spring back up on my feet. It's incredible that in a short span of a month I've received tremendous support on my work. I love reading your comments and I generally try to reply all of them and vote on all your comments.

It's awesome that I've got a lifetime worth of goodwill and testimonials to my writing and other activities around Steemit as comments on my blogs!

Everytime I read the comments on my blogs and show it to my parents, I feel so proud to be associated with such an incredible phenomena in the social media space.

Recently, I've started a few new series such as Fire Travels, Let's Talk, Crypto Current Affairs in addition to writing about my personal life experiences. I've also started the Steemit Accelerator program for India and I've also been regularly donating some of my money earned through Steemit which is making a positive impact in the society around me.

Community management and helping grow the Steemit user-base means a lot to me. I've played a small role over the past year as the Steemit.Chat admin, as well as helping give shape and assisting a few initiatives which have made a positive impact on the platform. Even as I had to re-prioritise things after my accident, I hope I've been able to help some of you along the way. I hope to do more as I continue recovering my health and spend more time on this platform.

Today, I'm going to go out and celebrate the fact that Steemit and it's amazing users have put an everlasting smile on my face! I hope to see some of you at SteemFest 2, which made an incredible, positive impact on my life and I plan on continuing my journey forward with everyone on Steemit as I work towards some bigger life-goals that I've set for myself.

^{Goofing around with my friends @heiditravels @nomadnessie @timsaid @saramiller and @sjennon at SteemFest was epic!}

^{@liondani and his wife were really sweet couple and I had some nice chats about Greece with them!}

^{Look aliens have landed!}

^{Wise Steemit sage @onceuponatime and Steemit Yoga guru @saramiller}

^{Yes! Firepower crew is so awesome that Steemit celebs @ned and @allasyummyfood also joined in for some fun! haha!}

^{The nicest people I've ever met, worked and befriended in a long time! @roelandp @anyx @anduweb @sjennon @foxxycat and @razvanelulmarin missing in the shot cuz he's always running around!}

^{I'm Firepowaaaaaaa!!}

Thank you for your kindness, support and encouragement over the past few difficult months!

^{Peace Out!}

Yyyeeeess! It's been great to follow this steemit journey with you. I think we've been talking for almost every day. I asking some noob questions about steemit, sharing posts, or just simply being drunk with each other eventhough were a billion miles a part.

You're a great guy and I hope to see you before (in Berlin?), during and after SteemFest (in Indonesia)!

[stevkay]

like your die hard followship

[sjennon]

Haha, he's one of my better friends!

[firepower]

@sjennon I love the fact that we stay in touch all the time, and have chats in the day and have so much to share! I'm happy to say that I've found a very good friend in you and I'm glad social media made this possible! :) I look forward to Berlin and Indonesia both! Let's hope I can make it! :)

[sjennon]

You better make it

[geetharao]

Very nice post, Congratulations, love you and
Proud of you.....

[firepower]

Thanks mom! :D

[topdog]

@firepower, my heartiest congratulations on your crossing 3000 follower milestone. I am so happy because I am one of them. I am also extremely grateful that you introduced me to steemit and I am generating tremendous goodwill here and also making many genuine friends. It's been a memorable 3 weeks for me here. Thank you for the same.
I pray you scale greater heights, change as many more lives for better, go where no Indian has ever gone in steemit and continue to inspire and guide us. I am just following your footsteps and trying to be worthy of your follower.

Be happy always. God bless you 😊

[stevkay]

waaooo
God bless u too

[firepower]

Thank you so much! I hope things goes well for us both! :) I'm glad you are enjoying this platform.

[nitesh9]

Wow, that's awesome @firepower bro. Very happy for you and your success.

I am also from India and have just started steeming. Pics of your visit to the Steem Fest are cool. :D

Your journey is really very much encouraging and inspiring, especially for Indians. In India, you know already, that there are some unemployment because people are ignorant of the fact that we can also earn through Internet. Very much capable and talented people are jobless because they are searching for it outside where vacancy is very less.

But, Steem is a platform in which can earn us reputation, money and friends through our talents. (It cannot be denied that everyone has some type of talent, but many people are ignorant of that).

I am very happy for your success. And very much proud of you and your work of motivating Indians to connect with this platform. :)

[firepower]

Thank you very much! :) Good to luck to you for your own journey here!

I hope Steemit can solve of these issues from our country.

[teapassion]

Your recovery is amazing to read about, I am so happy for you.
