For this i have chosen question from this post https://steemit.com/steem-for-lifestyle/@jimiaera02/steemit-challenge-season-34-week-10-question-2-a-challenging-question asked by @jimiaera02 hope my answers is appropriate to these questions.

What did you do with your first Steemit earnings or what do you plan to do with your first earnings?

I joined Steemit in November 2017. Started earning SBD and Steem. Before that I had never used cryptocurrency. I did not have a crypto wallet. Course I wanted to find out how to take out these funds and turn them into Indian Rupees. At that time I did not know much about the process; I was very excited but quite unaware. With these difficulties I found out how to create a wallet change Steem into Bitcoin then into USDT and finally into Indian Rupees. To do this I made a crypto wallet called "BlackTrades" to change steem to BTC and BTC to usdt. I also made an account on a site like 'ZebPay' to handle the change into INR. The process was very hard for me. I was always worried that one mistake could make me lose the money I had worked hard to get. Some of my friends including @lavanyalakshman helped me with these transactions. At that time the price of Steem was, than $4 and one dollar was worth 64 rupees.

I started by converting 100 Steem. After all fees were taken away I ended up with about 23,000 rupees in my account. The whole thing took less than an hour. At that time I was doing freelance design work online. Normally payments from clients via PayPal would take at least two days to reach me. Because of this the fast transaction filled me with joy. I even bought sweets. Shared them with everyone around me. I told my husband, who had taught me how to use Steemit, about the success. Later I bought clothes for my children. This felt like an achievement, for me. It gave me a deal of self-confidence to do even better on Steemit. I wish the price of steem should go higher like that hahaha.

Share a photo you took that has a special story behind it. When and where was the photo taken?

These are the photographs I took at the 5-star hotel Le Méridien while attending a meeting hosted by Delta Travel Company. The event was truly special as both the hotel and the dinner served there were absolutely magnificent. The hotel is one of the luxurious hotels in the city of Coimbatore.

I have already written a dairy post, about the event on steemit two months back.

Le Méridien is a hotel that shows what luxury and hospitality can be in Coimbatore. Le Méridien is known for its high‑quality infrastructure, eye‑catching design and top‑notch service. Le Méridien is the choice for business meetings and big events, in Coimbatore. I went to a gathering hosted by Delta Travel Company at Le Méridien and I can still see how magnificent Le Méridien looks and how memorable the dinner was.

I must say why these photographs and the event is very special the hotel is very special. if the moment someone walks into Le Méridien Hotel, the grand lobby and the artistic design make people feel amazed. Key highlights of the hotel include a mix of modern European-style buildings and traditional Indian kindness. The look is so nice that it seems perfect for taking pictures. The hotel has a ballroom and meeting rooms, which have the latest technology—great, for holding business meetings and big events. This top-quality place was a reason why the event run by Delta Travel Company was so successful. For people who stay there the hotel has rooms and suites with all the latest comforts.

I would like to invite
