And even her Abaya, she's wearing is Mozma

Thank you so much

And she got me one again as well, I'm excited to see that

Yeah, I love your collections

Sometimes she wears Abayas, so I thought, why doesn't she wear my Abayas?

I keep telling her, you should launch more collections

But I think she's selling the current ones massively

We're all busy, aren't we?

Yeah, yeah

But you should do more

Thank you so much

It's very unique, you see?

Yeah, it looks nice on you

Thank you

The color is very nice

You see how there's beads?

She wanted to make me an ad

Thank you

You're welcome

So, Jumana is very famous on social media

She's from the UAE, and she's Malayali?

Can i say Malayali?

Yes

Do you call yourself a Malayali?

I am a Malayali yes

Oh nice I just said maybe because we say Emirati

And I said Malayali yes

Nice. Adebole

Adebole

Well we have a lot of Malayalis

Yes there is a lot south Indians in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Right

And I know I think you and another one

I know 2

Who?

Aishwarya?

Aishwarya?

Yeah, Ajit?

Oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I know Aishwarya Ajit

You resemble her, right?

Did someone tell you that you resemble Aishwarya Ajit?

A little

A little

Thank you

It's a compliment for me

Blue lenses

You might look like her a little bit

When she was young

When she was young, yeah

Oh, thank you

It's cool

Thank you

So, today's episode is not just about stories

We're going to talk about how to be special on social media

How to make it on social media

Not how to be a content creator

But how to make it actually big or successful

And how would you see yourself as a content creator

Successful content creator

Well, I think the difference between somebody who makes it

And somebody who doesn't make it is consistency

Consistency is the key

You have to be really consistent in what you do

And authenticity

These two things are very important

What do you think sets apart?

What?

What sets you apart from people who are extremely successful

And people who don't make it

You see a lot of people who have content

I know a lot of people who make initially

Who started off

And they give up because it's not giving them reach

It's not taking them where they want to reach

And they kind of like slow down

And that's when they go wrong

You have to be very consistent

You have to post every day

You have to engage with the audience

You have to reply sometimes to the comments

Engage with your audience

That's very important

I do believe if you're unique

First of all, you have to be unique

You have to be special

There's so many copies

The content you post has to be unique to you

I am just talking in Arabic for the people who are watching me

But I am just telling them that you have to be unique in your own creation

Even if you take a trendy song or trendy idea or something

Do it your way

Yes because you see a lot of people who do the same

yeah yeah

Why would someone watch them, this person or this person they do the same thing

Yeah yeah

But i see a trendy song and I say ohh let me go check Jumana What she did on this song

I'm sure she did something on it

She will have her own

Blend to it

Or style to it

See, recreating the content

Or the piece of song that has gone viral

It's good

But add your sort of blend to it

Because that will give you good reach as well

It will give you views

But not following, not engagement

Somebody has already made it

And it's got millions of views

So I feel uniqueness

You have to be unique in your own creation

This is what will connect you

What will distinguish you

And give you success as a content creator

Like Jumana

So you're very unique

You've done so many things

I can't even remember

You did boxing

You did what?

You do dancing videos as well

You've done a movie, right?

I've done an Emirati movie

You've done TED Talk

TED Talk as well, yeah

I've done TED Talk

So you have to get into everything, I feel

Keep trying different things

Don't just stick to one thing

I know a lot of people who do the same

Who does the same thing

But I don't think their followings are going to grow

Because they have reached the amount of people

Who are interested in this topic

But the moment you change your strategy

I've tried it

I start doing something

And then when I see

I stopped getting 100 followers a day

It's like, okay, it's time to change

Yeah, it's time to change

Find a new strategy

New way of doing things

I don't change myself

But I just change

Like if from travel I go into

Lifestyle at home or something

I don't know

Going outside in the country itself

Not traveling

So just change

So you can gain or attract

Bigger audience

But still be unique

Still be yourself

Yeah

So how did you start?

Do you have a story?

I started when I was in college

I was a law student

All here?

In Middlesex University

In Dubai, Knowledge Village

Knowledge Park

I think now they've changed the name to Knowledge Park

I was in my second year

So I start

My friend, her name is Akki

I mean her name is Nahala

But we call her Akki

She introduced me to the world of blogging

You know, doing sort of like photoshoot

Posting it online

And you know, all of that

Did you start blogging on like

Yeah

I don't remember

Like in which platform

But like she told me to sort of start it

And she got me introduced to that

And yeah, from then I kept making content

And then and there

I took like few breaks and stuff

But then I

I made it like a full time job

And I moved from Abu Dhabi to Dubai

She's also from Abu Dhabi

And I was also raised in Abu Dhabi

Still in Abu Dhabi

Yeah

My family as well

Yeah, they still live in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is very peaceful, isn't it?

It's totally different

Totally vibrant

Yeah

I come to Dubai every day

But I prefer living in Abu Dhabi

Yeah

I live at the border, so it's fine

I think

I think when I have kids and family and stuff

I would want to move back to Abu Dhabi

Because it's so peaceful, right?

Oh yeah, yeah

100%

I feel Dubai is more for work

Yeah, it is, it is

Very commercial

Very commercial, yeah

But if you want just to settle down

Abu Dhabi is nice

Yeah, Abu Dhabi, yeah

So

Okay, I studied media

I studied mass media and communication

Yeah, I know

That's why I'm in this field

I started doing commercials at the start

Really?

Yeah, I was doing ads and stuff

Because at that time

There was not too many Emiratis in this field

Yeah

And I would be doing Salat, Adnok

But as an ad

At your face, right?

Commercials, yeah

You've got a beautiful face

Oh, thank you so much

Mostly they're speaking roles

So they want someone to speak Emirati

And I was like, okay, let's try it

Yeah, let's try it

So I started from there and then

How did your family react to that?

Well, when you are the youngest

You're always

Pampered one

Yeah

I mean

Not too much actually

But they're not surprised anymore

Yeah

Whatever I do

They're like, okay, that's it

We know she will do something different

I have like five sisters

Yeah, I did the youngest one

Yes

They're all like normal

They studied, finished

And went to work

And have families and stuff

But I'm like in media

But I've always wanted to be a presenter

And host or

You've also done Mahzoo's

Yeah, I was presenting it for three years

Is it still happening?

No

Okay

So

Yeah, I was saying that I started

Started off like that

Yeah, because I studied

I wanted to be in this field

I wanted to be in media

And that's how it started

But again, how to make it is

Uniqueness, authenticity

And you do a lot of songs

In Hindi songs as well

Yeah

You do speak Hindi

Or it's just the songs that you like?

I don't

I just know the songs

If I learned Urdu

I learned it from songs

And Malayalam

I have a story about

Tell me

What I know in Malayalam

I'll just say it in Arabic first

When I was young

My uncle taught us the house number

In three languages

Arabic, English, and Malayalam

Why?

Because if we put them together

These three people

You get them

Either the one who speaks Malayalam

Or the one who speaks Arabic

Or the one who speaks English

So my uncle

He taught us the numbers

Like my

House number, you know

Who taught you?

My uncle

Your uncle

So in Arabic, in English

And in Malayalam

He's like if you get lost

Somebody

You would meet someone

Who speaks in these three languages

So he's like just

You know when you have a landline

At home

So he's like

In Malayalam

It's

Nare nare

Ronde

Ar

Et

Yeah

That's what I know

In Malayalam

So it's our house number

So he would always tell us

Like

Yeah, memorize it

Memorize it

We never left the house

So it's this

That's nice

He told us to memorize the numbers

In Malayalam

Because if you put them together

You would meet someone

Who speaks this language

Do you know Hindi?

Do you speak Hindi?

I don't speak

But you know the songs

I know the songs, yeah

That's what I know

Sing a song for us

No

Okay

Say the song for us

Say the lines

Like for example

For example

Come on

You know this

Of course

I know the songs

These are like

Okay, another one

No, I don't want to sing

No, no, no

I don't know the lines properly

Just the easy ones

Is it?

It became a singing lesson with Moza

I don't want them to take me for singing

I mean

Come on

It's not on my

You can sing, bro

You can sing

Thank you

No, I like to sing by myself

I mean

Not career-wise

No

How about you?

I know

No, don't even ask

I feel you have a nice voice

You have this like

I don't know what you call

But in Arabic you say

Baha So it's like

Yeah, like heavy voice

Yeah, I don't know

No, it's nice

Like in a nice way

Thank you

Thank you

Heavy voice

Anyways

Yeah

So

We said about how to make it

And how to

Like what sets you apart

Yeah

And

Do you

How do you maintain it?

Maintain it

Yeah

Being consistent

Now, you know

I've sort of like changed my strategy

I want to

Do more YouTube videos

And like

I love your videos

The last one I think

When you went to Serbia

Serbia

Yeah, yeah

And then you stopped

And then I stopped

Yeah, I stopped

But like now

But I want to like

Speak in my language as well

Which is Malayalam

And connect with my audience

Say something to them

What do I have to say?

What was that?

It was very fast

That was fast

I said

What do you want me to say?

Yeah

Anything

How do I say that?

You definitely

Like, comment and subscribe

Thank you

Whatever she says

Do it

You know what I said

So for three years

Aishwarya was speaking Malayalam

On the stage

It was she

I hear her every day

I try to read with her

It's so nice

Yeah

But it's very fast

You have to say it very fast

It's very fast, right?

It's like

And the words are very big

The words are very big

It's like

Not you, me

It's like

Adili

Adi

Adi

Adi

Adi

You know it

Adi

Adipenne

Sundaren

Sundari

Sundari

You are Sundari

You're beautiful

Beautiful

You're beautiful

Yeah, I know

A little bit

Who taught you?

No one

I'm self-taught

Really?

Yeah

I pick it

I'm a good learner

Quick learner

Quick learner

So I pick up languages

I'm trying to learn Spanish now

But really, for what?

Just like that.

I just like it.

OK.

So how do you grow your social media platforms?

And how can you grow your account?

As I said, when you focus on something,

you reach that audience.

So you don't have many more people

interested in what you do.

So when you see that number start.

Going back to the strategy, change your strategy.

Try something different.

Add your blend to it and be authentic.

Add, but don't be like too much.

If you add three styles, it's enough.

And if you have three styles, one is traveling blogs.

Second is, I don't know, home blogs.

Third is something.

I don't know.

But don't do too much.

And then it becomes too heavy.

And then you attract the wrong audience

that you don't want, actually.

So you have to work on what's going to inspire you

to do videos every day.

Because for me, it's not a job.

Yeah, it's passion, right?

Yeah, so if it becomes a job, then I'll be very bored.

Yeah, and then I'm like, I have to write scripts.

And I see people writing and doing that.

Forcing, don't force yourself.

Let it flow.

Yeah.

How do you do it?

Same, it's my passion.

I'm extremely passionate about what I do.

Do you use, how do you film?

Like behind the backs?

Um, so I have a team right now.

Behind the, behind the what?

I have a team.

No, I want to say the words behind the.

Behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes, yeah, yeah.

I have a team, so.

Oh, you have a team.

I have a team.

But if you, I.

But did you start with a team?

No, I didn't start with a team.

But eventually, I had my team.

So, say for example, if it's a collaboration,

sometimes we write scripts, sometimes we don't.

And we always improvise it.

We always improvise it.

Did the collaboration change your.

Which collaboration?

Like any, when you collaborate with the brands.

Did it boost your account?

I think I would say I'd knock.

Did it boost your account?

Yeah, it did.

And when I came in Buj Khalifa for New Year's,

that really uplifted my.

For what?

When my picture came in Buj Khalifa.

Oh, yeah.

That's nice.

That sort of like uplifted my profile, my personal brand.

Then, yeah, coming back to the shooting thing,

we'll write the script if we have to.

If we don't have to, we don't do it.

Then lighting is very important.

Yeah.

So, lighting plays a major role in it.

You need to make sure that lighting is good.

The natural, the better.

If you want to create a very simple, easy content.

Otherwise, if it's like a very scripted content,

then it does take time.

Because you have to be particular about the angle.

You have to shoot in different angle.

Then, yeah.

But mostly for like collaborations or if you have a client.

If you're making a video for another person,

for another company,

I feel like you put in effort.

It's normal.

But I feel, because right now,

everyone is doing perfect videos.

Like these perfectly HD videos, DSLR videos.

And I feel they became more like ads.

I don't want to watch them.

I don't connect.

How do you connect with the audience?

And you have to have an audience.

You know, I realized that when you make content

on your mobile phone more, it gives you better reach.

Yes.

100%.

I still do it on my phone.

I don't, I've never done a DSLR.

Yeah, that gives you better reach.

And I feel people more like, they like you more.

They think you're one of them when you do it that way.

Yeah.

And you connect more, you know?

Yeah, obviously, if you want to have better quality,

camera is better.

But when I feel like you shoot on a mobile phone,

that gives you better reach.

100%.

Yeah, it does.

So, it's different.

It's different phone.

If you want the video to be more official

or for an ad or something, it's normal.

They put some effort in the editing,

in the shooting, HD, 4K.

The phone shoots in 4K.

Yeah.

But it's too much for Instagram as well.

If you put it in 4K, it will decrease the quality.

4K on your phone, right?

On your phone.

Wait, say that again?

When you shoot on your phone, then it's not 4K?

If it's 4K, Instagram will reduce it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does, it does.

So, you don't have to put a lot of effort.

It does, it does reduce the quality.

It has to be just a clear video, HD video.

Yeah.

That's all you need.

And I don't feel...

No, but I also feel like when you shoot in HD and 4K,

there's a lot of difference in the video,

but obviously when you upload it,

like when you shoot it, it's better to take 4K,

but when you upload it,

it'll automatically reduce the quality,

but the feel of the video is gonna be different.

There is an option in Instagram,

you can do it HD all the time.

So, you just like press on that button.

Whatever your video is, like whatever the quality is,

it's gonna turn it to HD.

Oh, really?

Okay.

So, how do you balance between sponsored content

and your like natural videos that you do?

First of all, I don't sponsor a brand

or I don't work with a brand if I don't connect with it.

So, I would only collaborate with brands

that aligns with my personal brand value.

This.

This is what's gonna be like uniqueness.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nobody cares about you.

They will only come to see the ad and that's it.

But if you turn it to your style,

then they're gonna watch it.

And you've got also create that,

I mean, build that authenticity.

So, if you...

Yeah.

That's why it's very important to be careful.

People need to trust you as well.

Yeah.

The trust, building the trust is very important.

So, you have to try these things before.

You have to think of a lot of things

before you collaborate with the brand as well.

Definitely, yeah.

Do you have any advice for them?

The aspiring influencers or content creators?

I would say, be you and know the reason why you started it.

Know your purpose.

And once you know the purpose,

then everything will sort of like fall into place.

That's the advice.

If you're thinking about money, money comes way after.

Yeah, money comes way after.

You didn't have the money from the first video you posted?

People say that, people think that, yeah, a lot.

No, it's not.

You have to like work for like years

to start making money out of it.

I still remember, I worked for free for so many years.

Me too, me too.

I just started maybe a few years ago doing things.

It takes time.

It takes a lot of time.

That's the thing, people stop when it's the time

to get actually earn money.

Yeah.

And I know a lot of people who have the potential,

but they are very scared of their criticism.

And they don't wanna do,

or they don't wanna put their work out there

because they are scared of the comments

or the feedback or whatever.

How do you deal with that?

How should they deal with it?

First of all, I'm blessed in a way

that I don't remember half of things.

So I move on pretty quick from that.

Yeah, I just ignore the criticism.

It doesn't bother me, it doesn't affect me much.

Doesn't bother you that much?

Does it bother you?

I mean.

You keep your private life very private, yeah?

Yeah, I don't put my life,

I don't care if they comment on me, I'm fine.

I take their criticism.

I see if someone's saying, oh, bad lighting.

I'll say, okay, let me work on the light, for example.

Yeah, yeah.

But I don't feel like this should stop

if you have a great job and you have passion.

You have to put it out there

because what they're writing

might not even make you follow.

Maybe they don't follow you.

They just bring in, write, and bring out their energy.

And these people might not even follow you.

They just wanna come and write something and just go.

Well, you know, there is good constructive criticism

as well as there is the bad way of saying it, right?

If somebody is saying it for you to improve,

then that's good.

So I look at it sometimes positively as well

when people say certain things.

But when I know that it's not, you know,

it's just some bad comments, then I just ignore it.

Me too.

I go through it, and I'm like, okay.

Moving on.

Yeah, moving on.

I mean, there's too many.

You can't even just read everything.

My family reads it, and they'll tell me then,

oh, you should delete that.

And I'm like, I don't have time.

It doesn't bother me.

I don't have time to go through.

My mom tells me as well.

She's so cute.

She tells me, yeah.

Because they care.

They wanna go and check,

but they don't know that nobody reads these comments.

I would read the nice ones

and then like reply to them sometimes,

but not all of them.

So if you have passion, it's important to write.

Because you don't know where you'll end up.

And especially those who have art stuff.

There's so many.

My friends, they are very artist, artistes.

They have like things, they do work on stuff,

but they don't put it online.

They're just scared of the feedback that's gonna get.

I feel they should, it shouldn't bother them.

You shouldn't bother them.

You shouldn't think about the comments that you got.

Think about work,

and think that you're gonna find something later.

Do you have any story about this?

About what?

Like about comments, feedbacks you got,

and worked you up, and changed something.

Did you change your style or something because of it?

I can't remember.

Do you remember something?

You were just telling me about the eye thing

and the comments and stuff.

Oh yeah, you know I have lazy eye, yeah?

So people actually comment saying,

why is your one eye small and the other one big?

They call it lazy eye.

It's a bit smaller, it's a bit closed.

I said, no, on the contrary, this thing makes it special.

And I'm like, how do people notice all of that?

People notice everything.

Yeah, and I'm like,

it's because I didn't sleep properly,

but I slept properly.

I'm not sure why I have a lazy eye today.

Yeah, is it?

No, it's not.

Yeah.

It's totally normal.

But people like to comment on every single thing.

But then I'm like, there are good comments as well, right?

There are good messages that you receive

which really makes me happy.

I mean, makes you happy.

I'm like, we should focus more on that.

So the negative comments will not affect you.

Do you have a nice story from your journey

that you remember?

Something that happened nice?

From my journey?

Yeah, like something happened

because you are on social media.

Shay is too much.

I feel like everything that has happened to me is nice.

And I'm genuinely very grateful.

And it makes me feel very grounded as well.

The opportunity and especially when people recognize me,

all of these things really makes me feel humbled.

What is the biggest achievement you got?

Like, did you meet Shahrukh Khan?

Yeah, of course.

You did, right?

Yeah.

Oh, he's so cute.

Shahrukh Khan has got a different vibe, man.

Yeah?

He's something.

So the girl handed over to Shahrukh Khan and she got there.

He's, oh my God.

See?

I just love him.

You know, I just love him.

So you have something positive that happened

outside the negativity.

Yeah, you get to obviously meet a lot of people as well, right?

I met Jamana.

Come on, I met Moz.

Do people call you Moz or Mozma?

Mozash, you mean.

Mozash?

The brand is Mozash.

No, what do people call you?

But they call me Moza Adi.

Moza or Moz?

Peter is laughing because Moz in Arabic is banana.

They just call you banana, huh?

That's fine, I'm used to it.

Sorry.

No, a lot of my friends call me banana.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, the actual meaning is pearl, but.

Your name is, what do you mean?

Mozma means pearl.

Yeah, in Arabic.

Jamana means pearl.

Really?

Yeah.

I didn't know that.

It's a silver pearl.

This one is yellow.

Yellow, this is yellow, I'm wearing yellow.

Oh, yeah.

Love some Moz.

Yeah, no, this is, I'm wearing Mozma.

Oh, nice.

And I'm wearing Moz.

Mozash.

Mozash, yeah.

But yeah, in Arabic, they call bananas.

Banana.

Moz.

Moza means one banana.

Moza means one banana.

Oh my God, I didn't know that.

I keep calling you, I'm like, Moz, Moz.

It's fine.

It's fine, yeah.

I have another friend, her name is also Mozma.

I call her Moz.

She's a makeup artist in Kerala, she's amazing.

Oh.

She does really good job, yeah.

Your friend?

Yeah.

The one I met or no?

You've not met her yet.

She's in India, she's in Kerala.

Okay, are you making a new movie?

Kerala movie?

I'm working on something currently,

but I don't wanna say it.

Behind the scenes.

I'm really looking forward to it.

It's just that, you know, sometimes in life-

You don't have to say anything, yeah.

Sometimes in life, you get distracted, yeah?

And you focus on the things

that doesn't need a lot of attention.

And then you waste so much time,

that's when I sort of like regret, you know, wasting time.

I'm indirectly saying stuff,

I don't wanna say it.

Jinks it, yeah?

Yeah, but I'm really looking forward

to doing something with my best friend.

Her name is Nimisha.

Nice.

So we're working on something.

Hopefully, I hope it happens, and yeah, inshallah.

Inshallah.

Inshallah, it's still whatever you're thinking about.

Yeah, it's time to change the-

Career path?

Yeah, no, career path.

Like, you know, for me, it's time to try something new.

Okay.

I like to try different things.

Let's see how it goes.

So when it's, once it's done, I'll tell you,

I'll be like, Moaz, this is what I was talking to you about.

Yeah.

Moazma, this is what I was talking to you about.

I keep calling you Banana.

Sorry.

You can name me Banana,

so you remember me at least on the phone.

Oh, come on.

I do remember you.

Mouza Al Amri.

Mouza Al Amri.

I didn't ask, do you know any Arabic?

Ah, shwe shwe.

Shwe shwe?

Shwe shwe.

Did you learn Arabic in school?

I mean, obviously, I know Quran and stuff,

because it's our holy book.

That's, yeah, the Fasha.

Yeah.

Arabic Fasha, that we don't use.

Yeah.

But were you like living with someone who speaks Arabic?

Yeah, I kind of understand it a bit.

You were born here, right?

I was raised here.

I was born in India.

Okay.

I was raised here.

So, but school was here.

Okay.

Do you know any Arabic words?

I know.

Siyara.

Siyara.

But it's such a shame, right?

I can't really think of it.

But like a sentence at least.

And, how are you?

Oh, nice.

A lot of things.

I feel shy to say now.

Let's just keep it.

Why?

I spoke a lot, when I don't even know a lot.

I do know a lot of other things as well.

It's just, what else do I know?

Nice.

It means I love you, right?

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you.

Yeah.

And, I've heard a few bad verses as well,

which obviously I don't want to say.

Oh, my God.

I'll tell you.

I'm sorry, listen to me.

Tell them, follow us.

Follow us.

Muzash.

Muzash.

Follow us.

Follow us.

Podcast

Muzash.

Muzash.

Tell me a sentence in Malayalam.

In Malayalam.

I'll try to say it.

There's something that everybody says.

I'm not sure if you've heard.

If you see a South Indian,

if one South Indian sees another South Indian,

the first thing that they'll ask is,

where are you from in Kerala?

Oh.

Where are you from in Kerala?

Where are you from in Kerala?

Yeah.

Where are you from in Kerala?

Kannur.

Do you know Kannur?

I know Kannur.

Ah yeah, you've been to a place, right?

I've been to India, but not Kerala.

You've been to India for some health treatment, right?

I worked in aviation, so I know like the cities and countries.

Oh yeah, yeah, Kannur.

I've never been to Kerala.

For treatment, remember? Or was it someone else?

Not me.

A lot of Arab people come to Kotekel for treatment.

Yep.

Yeah.

Kochi or something?

Kotekel.

Kotekel.

Kerala. People go to Kerala there.

Kerala, yeah.

It's very nice and green, and I should go there.

Where?

Kerala.

Yeah, yeah.

I should.

Well, do you want to add something?

That's it.

That's all.

That's it.

Because we were just having fun, talking with Jumana.

I hope you Learned from her.

She's very popular.

And she's very nice.

She's very young, by the way.

She did all this when she was young.

And there's always time to do anything.

Like, age is nothing.

Age is nothing, yeah.

Age is nothing.

I mean, people will say, oh, she's been doing it for a very long time.

Another thing is that, right, if you want to do something, do it 100% age.

And don't let your age stop you from doing what you want to do.

Don't think like, oh, it's too late.

Oh, I can't do it because I'm old.

No, you're not old.

There's no age restriction.

Do it when you want to do it.

Everyone has something that they do at home.

They can just put it on social media for people to see.

Yeah, like, you know, see, we don't have to live up to the societal expectation that has been built over years.

That is, like, go to school, after school, college, then get married, then have kids, and then, you know, career.

No, it doesn't matter.

I mean, like, some people get married after 30.

Some people start their career maybe young or, like, late.

It doesn't matter.

Do it.

It doesn't matter.

You do it.

It's okay to be different.

It's okay to be you.

It's okay to do something that you truly want to do.

It's obviously something that you want to do, which is good.

You know, good influence.

But don't let your age stop you.

Don't think that, oh, I'm too old.

I don't know.

Do people think like that?

Too old.

I actually thought I really wanted to learn how to play instruments, right?

I really wanted to learn how to play violin and, like, guitar and stuff.

And this is, like, five years ago.

I don't know.

Yeah, and I'm like, no, but I think I'm too old for it.

And I asked myself, like, why do you have to think?

I mean, I'm like, why do I have to think that I'm old for it?

I don't think you're old.

I was 21 years old when I thought about it.

And I was like, yeah.

And I'm like, would people start learning all of this at a very young age?

And I'm like, so all these thoughts that come to your mind, right, just block it out.

It's the social media.

Huh?

It's the social media that's giving you these thoughts.

Block all the negative thoughts.

Anyone can start at any age.

Age is just a number.

There's people, like, younger than me and who's, like, CEOs and other things.

They've done so much.

But for me, I'm like, oh, no, for a CEO, you need to be 50 or 60, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

That's what they gave you.

Like, that's the idea.

But you can start and do whatever you want at any age.

And anything goes on social media.

Anything.

Even if you, like, plant, like, you like to do, you know, like, you have a hobby of planting things at home.

My hobby is...

What?

Watching movies.

Watching movies?

I love watching.

Me too.

I can binge watch.

Not in the cinema, though.

For, like, eight hours.

At home.

Really?

I like both.

I can do, like, I can just, I can watch a movie, finish, watch another one, finish, watch another.

I think, I don't know what it's called, but I can just binge watch stuff.

Me too.

What are you watching now on Netflix?

Oh, I just, I recently, I watched a movie called, um...

God, I forgot the name of it.

I keep forgetting names.

Wait, let me tell you which movie I watched very recently.

I'm watching Lost.

Huh?

It's season two.

Oh, Lost every season seven.

You finished it?

No, I don't think I'm going to finish it.

The person I'm supposed to watch it with is...

Busy?

Not here.

Yeah, he's busy.

It gets exciting every day.

I know, right?

Okay, I watched, uh...

How do you see the movies that you've watched?

Not history.

Okay, wait.

It's such a shame that I forgot the name.

Not Batman, sorry.

Yeah, I heard Uncharted.

Uncharted, yeah, yeah.

Uncharted.

Oh, dude, that's such an amazing movie.

I absolutely loved it.

But it's so sad, like, in the end,

they didn't get what they wanted.

Okay, don't tell me.

Okay, sorry.

Yeah.

I'll watch it later.

Yeah, you're going to watch it?

It's very...

Yeah.

Mind-blowing?

No, like, it's a very smart movie.

Tell me now.

You want me to tell you the story?

I can tell you.

No, no, no.

I can tell you guys the story

and spoil it for you all.

But, okay.

Okay, I'm not going to say it.

What was your podcast about?

Yesterday?

Yeah.

Yeah, but it's like English and Malayalam mix.
