<ul><li>Mohammed Salim Khan, Travel Blogger, writes how the pandemic-induced lockdown has impacted travel industry and with it, travel bloggers. </li><li>He writes, "When all this ends and we’re free to travel again, I hope that I can continue to connect with my audience as I have been doing these past few months." </li></ul> Lockdown has been difficult for everyone, but even tougher for the itinerant and wanderers. The past few days have been rather frightening and the places that were once major tourist hotspots are now deserted. The spread of the coronavirus has unexpectedly brought the usual life and travel to a standstill. As a travel vlogger, I was scheduled to be on one of my international trips during this period and recording interesting content for my YouTube channel. But the content I had planned has now been scrapped – or at least put on hold indefinitely and I am grounded in my apartment in Mumbai waiting for the pandemic to end. The fear of coronavirus had not sneaked in when I planned my itinerary for 2020 and also posted my resolution of uploading 200 vlogs and going for 12 International trips in 365 days. It wasn’t until March when the world was reporting a huge number of cases and India declared a nationwide lockdown. It was confirmed that the pandemic could severely disrupt not just my travel plans, but also my income. A major source of income for vloggers is YouTube ads, brands and affiliate marketing. But with the pandemic in motion, the businesses are on a stand-still and there’s not much earning. The travel and tourism industry across the globe is affected and has left millions without a job. You always presume some degree of risk when you earn from social media and blogging. It can be constant, but never definite. But right now we’re in an unpredictable situation. Being a travel vlogger, I am hardly ever at home, so I was happy to spend this time with my family and also myself. I decided to focus on my health and work schedule. When the lockdown was announced, I took a break for a week to plan my next steps and come up with ideas on how not to lose my connection with my subscribers. My only motto is that the show must go on and everything else will fall in place. I took this quarantine as a challenge. After taking a break for a week or so, I decided to challenge myself to upload 21 vlogs in 21 days as a motivating factor. It would not only bring my subscribers closer to me but also create a sense of suspense because they wouldn’t know what to expect next. The challenge was more for me than for my audience. I took it up by adding a fun element of playing indoor games and challenged my viewers to play them too. I started recording daily chores like cleaning, buying groceries, and talking to friends. But there was a risk that the audience won’t like such kind of videos. However, to my surprise not only did they love the videos but I had never gained so many subscribers in 21 days. We’re all sitting at home. So, it’s pretty obvious people that we are spending double the time on our phones, looking for the next entertainment. As vloggers, our biggest dilemma is which part of our lives we should disclose next. Roy T. Bennett has rightly said, “You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.” This is absolutely true. In the four years of my YouTube journey, never have I ever seen such a growth in my subscribers and views on my travel videos which is the crux of my channel. So go through it to grow through it. When all this ends and we’re free to travel again, I hope that I can continue to connect with my audience as I have been doing these past few months. It’s been exciting to share the ‘home-life’ side of the travel blogging world, and I love the relations and bond that we are building during this time! - Mohammed Salim Khan, Travel Blogger

Sustaining during the lockdown: A travel vlogger’s version

It’s <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>’s birthday today! The <keyword id="4003029" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhai-of-bollywood">Bhai of Bollywood</keyword> just turned 51! Doesn’t look like, eh! 
 While the social media is going gaga over his birthday party that happened at his farmhouse, the happily single <keyword id="6355601" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Khan">Khan</keyword> is seen posing with celebrities and family member. The actor, of late, is known for his charity donations and has been making headlines on the same. His charity foundation, <keyword id="148126" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Being-Human">Being Human</keyword>, has got recognition worldwide. 
 
To believe a report on <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Salman-Khan-spends-only-10-of-his-income/articleshow/28678824.cms">The Times of India</a>, <keyword id="6354701" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Salman">Salman</keyword> Khan spends just 10% of his total income for himself while the rest of it he donates to charities. Salman’s father, <keyword id="31016" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Salim-Khan">Salim Khan</keyword> is also known as a person who hardly spends on himself. And it’s learnt that son Salman got this habit from his father. 
 
Since the beginning of his career, Salim Khan had fixed 10% of Salman’s income to be spent for personal need. A part of the balance 90% was used for charity. Now that Salman has his own NGO, Being Human, the rest of his income is spent on the same. 
 His sister <keyword id="2053" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alvira">Alvira</keyword> has often said that Salman had never signed a cheque till 48 years of his age. Even though he started enjoying signing cheques, a few months later Salman wanted an attorney to sign cheques on behalf as he finds it boring to deal on money matters. 
Salman still doesn’t know how much money he actually has in his account. He maintains a low profile of himself and spends meagrely on his personal need. 
 
Now you must be wondering, how come an actor of that stature is able to use just 10% of his income on him and spend rest on charity? Salman Khan earns Rs 60 crore annually. So spending Rs 6 crore on personal requirement every year isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Here’s
how Salman Khan spends his money after earning Rs 60 crore every year

The <keyword id="2219970" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="World-Book-Night">World Book Night</keyword> (now in its fourth year and coincides with the <keyword id="2219971" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="UNESCO-International-Day-of-the-Book">UNESCO International Day of the Book</keyword>) came and went, but did it impact our life in any way? In the UK, 20 titles were selected and thousands of those <keyword id="5050" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="books">books</keyword> were given away for free on the night of <keyword id="6460904" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="April-23">April 23</keyword> to inspire people who “haven’t yet been turned on” to reading. A quick look at the list had us pleasantly surprised. It included the works of <keyword id="210859" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Agatha-Christie">Agatha Christie</keyword>, <keyword id="17397" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Jeffrey-archer">Jeffrey Archer</keyword>, <keyword id="324611" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="John-Grisham">John Grisham</keyword>, <keyword id="241349" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Roald-Dahl">Roald Dahl</keyword>, <keyword id="1367712" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Andy-McNab">Andy McNab</keyword> and others – mostly popular stuff that may actually drive reluctant readers back to the age-old habit of reading. 
 And that brings another startling fact to the forefront. If reading less is a global malady, men could be suffering more from it than their female counterparts. No, we are not getting gender-biased here. The findings came from a survey commissioned by the <keyword id="2219978" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Reading-Agency">Reading Agency</keyword> and conducted by <keyword id="2219982" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="OnePoll">OnePoll</keyword>. According to the report, researchers from OnePoll spoke to 2,000 British men and <keyword id="624" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Women">women</keyword> ahead of the World Book Night and it was found that 75% of the men would watch the big screen version of a story, instead of reading the original book. In fact, 30% of the men said they had not read a book after their school days. 
 But in spite of all the statistics, reading does change one’s life. They say everyone can write at least one classic – their own life story. Surprisingly enough, we have one such book in our April list – the <keyword id="2219985" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Posthumous-collection">posthumous collection</keyword> of <keyword id="642178" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Essays">essays</keyword> and <keyword id="851600" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="short-stories">short stories</keyword> by a young <keyword id="2219988" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yale-graduate">Yale graduate</keyword> that has gone viral and read by at least 1.4 million people across 98 countries. That gives us great hope that books (in any format) will never become obsolete. Browse through our list of seven wonder works – analytical, inspirational, <keyword id="820033" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="sublime">sublime</keyword>, but essentially a <keyword id="6374782" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="journey">journey</keyword> towards a changing world order, a look into the changing times.

India's second T20I against West Indies to start at 10pm IST due to delay in significant luggage arrival

As the Bombay HC gave out its verdict in 2002 hit-and-run case against <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>, the <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actor broke down inside court, oblivious to the fact that hundreds of his fans swarmed his residence Galaxy apartments cheering over his acquittal. 
	 
	<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Salman-Khan-a-free-man/articleshow/50120457.cms">ALSO READ: Salman Khan, a free man </a>
 

	The actor himself drove about an hour to court from Karjat Studio where he was filming his next movie Sultan. Salman's father Salim Khan was photographed leaving Galaxy Apartments earlier. Salman's sister Alvira and faithful bodyguard Shera were also in court.When the High Court pronounced its verdict at about 1.40pm, just his pregnant sister Arpita was present in the house. 
 

	By afternoon, a small crowd of fans (who converged here from far distant places) had joined the banks of media cameras and crews amid high police presence. 
	 
	Even as of now, the crowd milling about on the road outside Galaxy Apartments is still relatively small but is steadily swelling. Salman, who will be 50 later this month, will likely come home to a rapturous welcome today. The actor's neighbours can also expect a traffic jam on the street.
 In May, when the Sessions Court convicted Salman, Galaxy Apartments was crowded with celebrities visiting the actor. The VIP visitors included Shah Rukh Khan, <keyword id="6355923" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aamir-Khan">Aamir Khan</keyword>, Hrithik Rosan, Preity Zinta and Sonakshi Sinha. On Thursday morning, Mumbai politician Baba Siddique was the sole arrival.
