Advice from An Influencer

Us: We have on the phone Mr. Dipstic Shonda calling from Delhi, India. Is that correct?


Dipstick Shonda: Is correct, yes.


Us: You are, we understand, a widely popular life-style coach and TikTok influencer. And the author of a new book.


DS: Is correct, yes.


Us: Tell our audience about how you got into life-style coaching and TikTok influencing.

 

DS: I was coming to Delhi from my small, small village. In Delhi was great pollution, was hard breathing. In Delhi was great traffic. Hard to cross street because of many, many scooters and motorbikes. Also hard to find job. 


I was thinking, how to change life. But all advice was taking too long. Yogis said you must meditate for months. Head shrinkers said you must come many, many years. I was wanting very quick, quick change. I was thinking instant change. I am thinking, nobody has book on instant change. So I will write it. 


Us: So you wrote a book called . . .


DS: “Instant Mitigation.” Big seller in Hindi and Punjabi. 


Us: And now it’s been translated into English. Can you give us an idea of what’s in it?


DS: I am doing that. Instant book has instant advices. Very short advices. This very popular one: “You can do what you can do.”


Us: Hmm. We heard something about a chicken . . .


DS: “The chicken crossed the road, and found traffic is moving in opposite direction.”


Us: And your TikTok fans understood this. It sounds very Zen.


DS: Is very deep. Life changing. 


Us: How many more of these advices are in the book?


DS: There is being 32 advices for instant change in how one is living. But I am writing second book with 32 more advices. I am calling it “Instant Remediation.”  It is advices I am giving on TikTok. “It takes two to tango, but one to solo” is new advice. Also, “Locking barn door after horse is stolen means horse cannot return by himself.”


Us: And that is understandable by people both in Delhi’s pollution and on TikTok?


DS: Oh, very, very. People changing in an instant. 


Us: Thank you, Dipstic Shonda, life-style coach, influencer and . . .


DS: Must go quick, quick. Lunch hour over. Must go back to call center.


Us: . . . writer.
