Remember this video? Girls being eve teased and by-standers
simply watching and enjoying the show. This video crossed 1 million views on
You-tube.
And what about this one? A man who gives 1000 rupee notes to
the hard-working street vendors and gives them their due share of happiness.
This video crossed 2 million views.
Except being two viral videos recently, these have another
thing in common. The man in action,
Varun Pruthi. He is an actor by profession
but his work through the videos is commendable. Not something any person would
take pains to do. Objectifying women, rape cases, children whose wise replies
leave you speechless, honesty, poverty, hunger, indifferent attitudes of
people, etc.; there is hardly any issue that this man does not covers. Most of
his videos are viral and he succeeds in sending across his
social messages through videos.
Kudos to him for the great work he is doing.
Who says online media is just a means of interacting with
people and giving out news? This guy proves the notion wrong. He uses online
platform to create sensitivity among people and inspire them to bring up the
human in them, and dare I say he is not successful! He for sure is.
A major aspect such videos highlight is the vast potential
of social media. Majority of the people use whatsapp and facebook as mediums to
interact and share. You-tube is another most frequented site. Why not use these
platforms to spread your message to the world? You have another plus point;
people today are too busy to read large chunks of writing. Photos and videos
consume lesser time. Visuals are more attractive, interactive and leave a
long-lasting impression. You feel something about an issue, a crisis, a problem
or a general attitude or almost anything and you want your voice to be heard;
simple- take out your cameras, hone your videography and photography skills and
speak up innovatively.
