Well, undeniable there are plenty of things that the internet is capable of teaching us. I have learnt a lot of things from YouTube so far. Today I would like to talk about a video which I watched about 2 years ago. The video was about making a vegetable called okra also known as ladyfinger. As I remember vividly that I was at home and my maternal grandmother’s health was so bad which forced my mother to suddenly go to aunt’s house. Generally, young in Bangladesh have to cook for their families in the absence of their mother. So this is what happened in my case too. My father brought okra from the farm and I didn’t really know how to make it. So I simply took my phone and searched how to cook okra. In addition, you know these days YouTube videos are the biggest source of information. Then I found numerous videos related to my topic. Since this was the first time I was gonna cook something after an hour of continuous dedication in the kitchen, I made vegetable. My father priced me a lot. Furthermore, he wants me to learn more from the internet.
