I never say it, but I'll say it again - Oh my god!
I was browsing through the archives of a friend's blog (Improper Conduct) and chanced upon a Youtube video. Since I had the time to browse, I had the time to view.
She said it had her teary eyed. Well guess what, it had me bawling. Will you hold it against me if I say I bawl attractively? :P
Reaching out to so many people in such an awesome way is so heart warming.. and if that's something that doesn't agree with your sensibilities, just go hug your friends and family more often already. Think, you had one person on the street stop for 10 seconds and give you a hug but in return you gave him something to smile about, something to pass on to and share with those he's close to, something cheerful to replace work-related talk at the dinner table.
Here's the guy who started it all and made it a global campaign, Juan Mann.
There was a similar campaign to do with getting people to dance that I'm pretty sure you've seen before. Nevertheless, I'll look it up. As for why I'm all bawly, meh, les hormones.
PS - Vinit Mehta, the guy in this video, is a TYBMM student at KC. Awesomeness doubled, eh?
About Me
- Shweta
- Mumbai, India
- From Zilch to Gobbledook to Where I Doodle. From denial to self-depracation to a state neither offensive nor defensive, if you will. I write but I can't say I know why. Still getting used to the idea of having (letting) people read and review what I write. I'm 18, a media student and I invite you to kill my ego. Slowly.

My blog feels so important now. It's getting a big head. I saw loads of Free Hugs videos a couple of days ago. They still give me goosebumps. There was a prank one too. A guy was charging 2 dollars for his hugs. And he was standing next to a guy who was doing the Free Hugs thing. It felt so wrong to laugh.
Hi, I'm back.
Awesomeness - coined or real?
Great Idea - hug a day keeps the blues away! And a friend's hug a day keeps all the hues away, no?
