**It has been 6 weeks since I came back from [my accident](https://steemit.com/life/@firepower/how-i-faced-my-demons-and-fought-back) 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](https://steemit.com/steemit/@firepower/my-most-incredible-steemit-milestone-moment-and-why-it-means-the-world-to-me) 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](https://steemit.com/steemit/@firepower/successful-1-india-steemit-accelerator-and-steem-cryptocurrency-meetup-2017) 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.
