ABOUT


Siddhant, a Patna-based digital creator, will take you on the whole journey of his life.

Hi,

This is Siddhant Shaurya from Patna, Bihar. My family migrated to Patna from my village, Bakhtiyarpur, when I had finished studies of 2nd standard in Vimla Vidhyalaya, Bakhtiyarpur. I was studying in the State Board (Bihar Board). As there was less scope for education & career in the village so I moved to Patna with my family members. My grandfather always encouraged my father to send me to Patna for further studies. 

After shifting to Patna, I got admission to one of the schools in Patna & their condition was to start my school career from the beginning, as I was from the Hindi medium,i.e, State Board (Bihar Board). I had no option, so I gave a test interview & cleared it on a merit basis, & the school authority got ready to give admission in UKG. I know that it sounds weird, but I have to accept this bitter truth because my three years were wasted due to the mentality of the school management. It was difficult to cope with English medium people and a new city. Although I was able to adjust as time passed. I'm not that kind of academic bookish student, but I was creative since childhood, that's why today you're able to read my blog journey. I believe in practical rather than theoretical, and I wish the education system of India would change soon and focus more on the practical and creative fields. I'm a die-hard fan of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (M.S. Dhoni) since childhood. 



I shifted to Bangalore for a year. I became a part of the media team in one of the campus and covered all the events. I also volunteered in V-Fest, a fest by V Channel for campus around India, but I covered only one campus in Bangalore, and it was great to work in that event. I started loving photography and wanted to learn more every moment. I worked for six months as a Head of Photography & Media team in one of the startups in Bangalore.

In 2015, I returned to my hometown, Patna, for further studies. I tried to keep a balance between studies, as well as photography, as I also got placed in IndiGo Airlines in the pool campus placement at Amity University (5th sem), where 300+ candidates appeared for the interview from different colleges & only five were able to clear all rounds. And I graduated on 3rd November 2018.

I always wanted to do further studies, i.e, complete my post-graduation in MBA. During 2018-20, my life went through a lot of ups and downs, so I couldn't pursue an MBA at that time. Somehow, I prepared for the MBA entrance and also kept myself engaged with freelancing, internships, learning new things and gaining skills.

Later, I finally enrolled in the MBA programme at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (Batch 2020-22), which is one of the prestigious colleges of India. I interned in brands like Flipkart, The Times of India, Coca-Cola & many more during my MBA. The internship which I got was all because of my own effort only, and I got into these brands through off-campus.
I got placed in companies like Reliance, CarWale & a few more brands during this tenure, but didn't join because the profile which I was looking for didn't match. I explored other options and got into the corporate world in the digital sector through an off-campus. Trust me, I started hating corporate culture because everyone is double-faced and the environment is so toxic and negative. I wish god show me some way so that I could build something of my own and say NO to toxic corporate culture & negative people.

Personal Life

I had so many dreams and plans which I had already started working on it but my life collapsed on 31 May 2024 because My Mother Passed Away on that day. I still can't believe that she is no more. She was the only hope for me because she always supported me (वरना बाकी मेरे परिवार वालों को तो मेरे जीने-मरने से फ़र्क नहीं). It's a bitter truth. 

I wish she could come back and hug me tightly. Currently, I'm in a difficult situation in my life and have no one to share with; this is the reason I updated this blog after so many years.



My Camera:

I've used different cameras (mostly phone cameras) as my photography has evolved & I hope it has improved.

  • Current Phone Camera (Since October 2021): iPhone 12 Mini
  • Current Camera (Since January 2017): Canon 750D (Stopped Using it)
  • August 2017 to October 2021 - iPhone 7+ 
  • December 2015 to August 2017 - iPhone 6S
  • August 2015 to December 2015 - iPhone 5
  • March 2015 to August 2015 - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo
  • January 2015 to March 2015 - Moto E
  • Late 2014 to Mid 2015 - Canon 1200D
  • 2014 - Samsung Galaxy Note 2

In earlier days, I used a Canon 1200D for some time. But later, I've mostly used a phone camera till now as I found it too heavy for carrying around day-to-day, as well as for travel. My favourite phone camera was an iPhone 6S. I love the picture quality of this smartphone. Currently, I'm using an iPhone 12 Mini camera for day-to-day activities.

My current lenses are:

Canon 18-55mm STM Lens
Canon 55-250mm

When I started blogging, the photos which I took were mostly of objects & travel. These days I enjoy taking photographs of food, covering events happening in the city & many more. Recently, I've started my own YouTube channel named Backpacker SID & posted my first video on 14th August 2019. As of now, I keep learning & improving my work as well as focusing on further studies.

I also do book reviews, and I've received 50+ collaborations till now. You can check out my book reviews on my other Instagram handle - My Instagram ID of Book Review: soulonadventure

At last but not least, I would like to tell you that I love experimenting. Life is not about only one thing, so we should do an experiment to understand ourselves, expand our work, and enhance our skills too.

This is the reason I choose & work in various niches. I don't run for the numbers (followers, likes & comments), and that's the thing that motivates me to explore every creative field because I am always keen to learn new things and share my knowledge with everyone. I believe that if any person is worried about post-engagement, then he or she won't be able to focus on the content. We are already living in a modern era where social media is impacting the minds of people. I don't want to ruin my creativity by worrying about such things. 

You'll get to see detailed information about tourism, food, events, books & many more on my social media handle, such as YouTube, Instagram, etc. I like to target my audience from all the creative sectors and not only just one.

Someday, I wish to write my own book. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best :)

So watch my videos, engage in the comment section and support me in this journey. As you have read the whole blog, you'll come to know that I had only one supporting person in my life, "My Mom," but since she's no more, you guys are my only supporters.

If you support me, then I might come back stronger and feel better someday.

जय श्री राम !!

Jai Hind !!

धन्यवाद !
