Social Media was an accident for me | #06
My story of how I started my social media
Every piece of content I am making today is because of an accident.
My first entry into the social media world was through Facebook. In May 2019, I had gone to an 'Art of Living' course and they used to upload the photos and videos on Facebook, no other place. So I thought to open my account on it and see the photos. I didn't want to see my mom's account, so it was my first entry into the social media world. Was fortunate that my parents allowed me to open it.
In October of 2019, I was planning to open my Instagram because everyone was on it. I asked my mama (maternal uncle) that how to open my account on Instagram. He suggested instead of Instagram, I should open Twitter because it is a great platform to learn about different things. So I opened my Twitter account. Initially, I used Twitter like Facebook and did not use it to its fullest potential. (Twitter like Facebook? Yeah😅) But at the start of 2021, I realized that it is an amazing platform. So I started to spend more time in it, started making great friends and learnt a lot from it.
When I was in my 10'th grade, there was a seminar of some famous people which was to be held on Instagram. My school had told us about it. So I thought I should not miss this opportunity and the very next moment I opened my Instagram account. I was unable to attend that program, but the only good thing that the school was able to do was, to open my Instagram. I know what you are thinking. But I used Instagram in a completely different manner. I connected with many people here too. It’s on you how you consume content. I have a learning mindset. You become what you think. Now, I am trying to be consistent to post content here.
I got my idea for the YouTube channel a day before my science final exam of 9'th grade. After finishing my 9'th grade, I saw many YouTube tutorials, many camera reviews, editing software, etc. I had names it 'A Talk With and By Pranav.' The reason for the name was, to have conversations 'with' people and also have solo (BY Pranav) content. But I knew I won’t be able to be consistent because of 10'th (boards ka saal. Indians will know it. 10’th and 12’th grades are considered important in India). But when my 10’th finished I started this channel. In that one year, I thought a lot, learnt different things and changed little things about my channel.
For Clubhouse, I joined it on the first day it was launched for Android. I clearly remember It was on the day of World Meditation Day 2021 and the first room I joined was of Seekers Room by Sukun Chopra. It was fun talking to you, Sukun. (I know you are reading this 🤪)

So this week, I was feeling too weak. I was not in good health. I had to make a video of my room tour. I was procrastinating on making it a lot. So, one night, I remembered one of my favourite creators, Nas Daily. He had made 1000 videos in 1000 days. He was ill, but he continued to make it. Here are those videos:-
