Nazma Aapi and Afridi

I was thinking to write a post about story telling on social media by actual- common users. Specially how new generation of Indians are using digital platforms like Instagram and Twitter in creative ways. Trip photos, food shots or make-up videos are done to death... and represent a specific social class... and consumerist point view.

A character created by Saloni Gaur. This video character takes you into the life of commoner in an old Delhi's densely populated narrow street and how the character reacts to current issues.

Snapchat Bitmoji TV

Image
I had downloaded Snapchat long time back but never got down to use it. My sister's kids use it all the time and so 2-3 month back I started to respond to their snaps. It is full of video filters and illustrated avatar. Creating and customising the avatar was fun. It has a huge numbers of variables available to make your avatar look like you...(at-least, the way you imagine yourself). It was delightful experience when I was typing a reply to a chat... as soon as I typed hi... It suggested many stickers with my avatar saying hi... also there were stickers with the friend's avatar.  I guess that's why Bitmoji are so popular. Recently, I discovered the new Bitmoji TV feature in Snapchat. It's fascinating to see your cartoon self featuring in animated episodes. Here is a GIF #bitmoji #snapchat #bitmojitv #cartoon Disclaimer:  All the images/screen shots, videos and links shown here belong to respected owners and shared here for app
