Yesterday one of my friends reminded me about ‘The recipe book’ that moms used to maintain once upon a time. I remember that diary my mom had very well. We used to wait for the Chef’s programme on TV and note it down. This will be passed to anyone in need. This diary will also contain phone numbers, kolams, notes etc (each will have a separate section in the diary). When I initially moved to the US, whenever I asked for recipes my mom used to type very sincerely and send all details to me through WhatsApp. Fast forward… 4 years later.. ‘Amma, can you send me the recipe for that thokku (pickle)…I don’t want it immediately, you can send it by tomorrow’. Within 5 minutes, I’ll hear my phone buzzing. Don’t worry, my mom didn’t turn into Chitti Robot yet but just found the treasure called YouTube. She sent me 4 links that are (close to) her recipe and said ‘Follow the first 2 steps from video 1, 3 and 4th step from video 2 and last step from video 3…That last video is just for your sake, look at the plate and bowl she is serving , it is so beautiful so wanted to show you’. Enna koduma sir idhu !

Any person you meet these days has a channel and ends the statement with ‘Like,Share and Subscribe’! Vlogs have become the trend now. There are so many vlogs like ‘A day in the life of an Indian mom’, ‘A week day in the life of a student’ etc. I watched 1 vlog where that lady woke up, made coffee, made breakfast, got the kids ready , made lunch , fed the toddler and then repeated again in the evening (I’m so bored to even type the full schedule).That video had a million+ views. I was wondering why so many people are interested when you can actually look at people in your house doing the same thing but then we are always people who check if the neighbor’s house has power as soon as there is a power-cut in our house. The same works for such vlogs where we are interested to know what happens in their life. 

Earlier there used to be a specific platform to act and specific people to perform the same. Now each one is an actor and can perform very professionally in front of cameras. If you want to be a good vlogger, exaggeration is the key. Let me give you a crash course (no hidden cost) in case you want to start your channel .. 

How to turn on lights?

Real life – ‘This switch right here will turn it on. Press down to turn on and press up to turn off.’ Over…katham katham !

This video will be your solution. Look at this, you have this object here that can be pressed in two ways *show the on-off actions repeatedly*.
