I was just sitting at home, minding my own business, when I got a call that changed everything. It wasn’t some grand moment—just a casual chat with my brother from another mother. He dropped an idea: “Why don’t we try blogging? People are making money from it.”At first, I laughed. Who even reads blogs anymore? I mean, everything’s already on Google, right? But then… something clicked. A fire lit up in my brain. It wasn’t about the money anymore. It was about owning something. Creating something. Leaving a mark. That’s how it started. No laptop, no fancy setup—just a 17-year-old guy with an old Android phone, a head full of dreams, and a heart hungry to prove something. I didn’t know where I was going, but I knew I was going to build something mine.
They Called It a Waste, I Called It Passion(H1):-
Once I decided to start blogging, reality hit fast. People around me? They weren’t too supportive. “Waste of time.” “You’ll just copy-paste AI stuff.” “It won’t work.”
But I stood on my words. I told them straight: “People don’t deserve robotic blogs. They deserve handwritten words—real thoughts from real people.”So I made a promise to myself—everything I write will be mine. Win or fail, it’ll be real. And with that, Luxedrive was born. The first day? 14 views. Might not seem much to others, but for me, it felt like the world noticed my voice. That spark turned into fire. I had an idea—“What if I share this with my friends?” So I did. And guess what? They didn’t just read it—they shared it too. One after another, people started coming in. .200 visitors in just 5 days. I was jumping like crazy. That high you get when your hard work starts to shine? Yeah, that. But then… something happened. Something absolutely hilarious—but I’ll get to that in a second.
Roasted, But Never Toasted(H2):-
Day 6. I still remember it clearly. I shared my blog in a Telegram group—thinking, “Let them see what I’ve built.”But what do I get in return? Straight-up roast fest. One guy said my info was off. Another mocked my images. Some dude had the audacity to say, “You should actually make a decent blog before presenting it to us.”It stung. Bad. My ego? Almost shattered. But I wasn’t about to quit—not after all the emotion, time, and heart I’d poured into Luxedrive. I stood up and fought. I rewrote. Rechecked. Reimagined. And I went back in, not as a kid seeking approval, but as a creator proving he was born to dominate. I wasn’t here to exist in that group. I was here to rule. But just when things looked like they were turning…something disastrous happened.
Rejected, Broken… But Still Breathing(H3):-
Somewhere inside me, there was still that soft voice—
A 17-year-old kid craving love, not hate.
A creator with a dream bigger than his phone screen.
A soul wanting to prove the world wrong, including his own parents.
And then, it hit me like a knockout punch. My Gmail lit up… and there it was.AdSense: Rejected. I cried like hell. Not just tears, but the kind of cry that crushes your chest. I couldn't sleep. My brain was spinning. Everything felt like it was falling apart. But then—a voice inside roared back.“You’re not just anyone.You’re me—the 17-year-old blogger who’s gonna make history.”So I wiped the tears. Took a breath.And rose again. From the next day, it wasn’t just blogging—it was a rebuild. I redesigned Luxedrive.Minimal pages. Cleaner layout.Refurbished every blog to over 600 words.Followed every damn rule of AdSense.But just as I stood up stronger…Another punch landed. My views?Crashing.Some days—just 10, maybe 20.Felt like nobody was watching.All this, within the first 15 days. But little did they know…This was just my prologue. After those first 15 days, my visitor count sat around 400. But that’s when the redemption arc of Luxedrive truly began.I started researching like I do for my entrepreneurship ideas—deep, focused, and with a fire to grow. That research, mixed with experimenting with tones, diversifying blog topics, and adding personal touches… it all made a difference. Slowly but surely, the numbers started climbing. I was getting views. Not bots. Real people. Then came the loyal ones—from India, the USA, Brazil, Sweden, Singapore, Ireland, and many more. People who actually waited for my blogs. To all of you reading this, thank you for your heartfelt support. I promise: I won’t break your hearts. I’ll try my level best to live up to your expectations. That paused track of 400 views? It became 800. Then 900.And now?1,000+ visitors in just 28 days. And we’re still counting. Still rising. So, all good, right?Nope. Here’s the twist...Luxedrive is in danger. Not from the internet. Not from competition.But from inside my own home. My father wants me to follow the traditional path. Study. Get a degree. Settle for a 9–5. But me? I’d rather beg than sit in a cubicle wasting away. I’ll keep writing the blogs you all love—consistently, fiercely, passionately—but right now, I’m in a place where even my own people are trying to bring down the thing I love most. But no matter what, I’m not quitting. This is just the beginning. Keep supporting.
Let’s make sure your journey and Luxedrive’s journey get the light they deserve.
