<\/p>\nToday we live in a world where there is a Facebook post or Instagram image page for anything and everything. Be it recipes, jokes, fashion, arts and crafts and even cats, each of these pages have a passionate person behind it who dedicates their time towards the content of that page.<\/p>\n
But not every page hits the fame that it hoped to achieve. Only few pages become popular in their zone because of its unique touch to the topic or because of the value that people see in the content.<\/p>\n
To understand these dynamics of a page owner, we at The Times Kuwait decided to speak to one such person who managed to get 11-15 K followers in just a year for his page called, NRI scribbles.<\/p>\n
Pranavesh Chander who works as a logistics officer in Alghanim Marine, Kuwait, saw the absence of a Facebook page that spoke the NRI voice and decided to use his passion for cheering and motivating people. That is how NRI scribbles was born on 18 March, 2018. Today his hope to touch NRI emotions and feelings has indeed succeeded with his supportive and loving followers who appreciate and relate to his content.<\/p>\n
Asked if NRI scribbles has been touching people like he had hoped for, Chander replied, \u201cLot of people have come forward and expressed on how certain posts have touched them. They have also given me a lot of support for the page. Most of my page followers are people who have been in the Middle East but left due to various reasons. So, when they see my page and the posts, it brings happy memories which touches them in a positive way.<\/p>\n
Initially, my page and my posts hit only 10-15 likes and most came from my friends or family. It all started with a post on that common joke, \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d And when you say Kuwait or KSA, most people don\u2019t really know where that is; all they know is Dubai due to its touristic popularity.<\/p>\n
That was my first popular post; it reached around 1000 likes and 1000 shares. After which the page analytics just took off and according to analytics it said that the post reached around 300,000 people, and around 200-300 users started following my page.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The feeling was quite extraordinary because it was quite unexpected. I did not expect such a common joke to take off like that, But I guess a lot of people who say it never thought of putting it down on a post. Hence it looks like it just clicked as it was something any NRI could relate to.<\/p>\n
Revealing his target, Chander said his initial target for the year was 20,000, which I have yet to reach. I believe it has to do with the fact that I have not been very active with my page for the last 3-4 months due to some personal things that had kept me occupied. So, my target still stands the same to hit 20-25 K by March 2020. Let\u2019s see, my fingers are crossed on this one.<\/p>\n\r\n
