Undeniably, YouTube acts as a source of providing various information digitally. Nowadays, YouTube videos are the best source of entertainment, information and education. It has helped me numerous times in my difficult situation. I would like to particularly talk about a video that I watched almost about two years ago. It was about making a vegetable called okra. So this happened when my mother had to suddenly visit my uncle’s house due to my grandmother’s health. It was not good. Generally, in India, girls in the families are responsible to cook in the absence of their mothers. This was in my case too. My father brought fresh okra from the farm and I didn’t know how to cook it. So I decided to grab my mobile phone and searched how to make okra. I didn’t want it to make it so stressful and boring. So I saw a video that had a screen limit of 15 minutes which was a good fit for me. I watched the video thoroughly and followed everything step by step. The video was uploaded by a channel named MasterChef which explained the concept of making the vegetable of ladies penge. Moreover, a significant part of the digital media is that the tutors could not scold their viewers unlike my mother who keeps on saying that you don’t even know how to cook. It was my first time that I was cooking something and I was initially very scared that I would burn the vegetable. However, everything went pretty well and I was able to complete my vegetable according to the requirements in the video. After an hour of continuous dedication, it was perfectly made.
