Transit Bites : An avid, boy-next-door traveller (Ajay Sudharsan)


 "A crazy travel lovers channel.where u could find all ur travel needs ." That's how Ajay(channel owner and vlogger) describes his channel on Youtube :-)

I totally agree with that description. Transit Bites over the past few months has become a tea-time favourite of my family. My mom, dad and I usually have tea/coffee at 4:30 pm and that's when we binge on Ajay's latest video. It usually starts with my mom asking me "Ajay video vandurcha?" (translates to "Has Ajay's video come yet?") and then its a nice 25 to 30 minutes of relaxing time sipping our hot beverage and enjoying all the places he takes us to digitally.

We follow a lot of other vlogger too, but there is some distinct personal connect we feel with Ajay. Let me tell you what I find refreshing about Ajay -

1. He has no inhibitions - at least that's what it seems to us -- he vlogs in public trains, public buses amidst people that may or may not speak Tamil with absolute confidence. There is no hesitation at all and he says what he feels with a flow that's might be the cause of envy to even the best of public speakers.

2. His choice of words and how he expresses what he feels in a specific situation is very entertaining and gives us a boy-next-door vibe. Specially love his use of "Athadi Atha..." (loosely translates to OMG) -- that has now become a part of my family's vocabulary.

3. While there are a lot of vloggers who take us to exotic and expensive locations on business class and first class tickets, Ajay takes us in public government buses and sleeper coach on trains and stays in hostels most of the time. Him just being him and not having any air about what he is doing is the coolest part of his personality. It's so nice to see young people like him not splurging money and showing off for the heck of it.

There are so many other tiny aspects of his video that are very endearing, but i will let you all go and see that yourself and experience it.

All the very best Ajay and wish you hit a Million subs this year and go all over the world.

Cheers!

Cheeky Vlogs - A window to peep into the family life of 90s kids

 


I have been an Abhistu fan for the longest time, ever since I saw the "Double meaning Tamil songs" videos. A year or so ago, Youtube started recommending me "Cheeky Vlogs"  (run by Subha who is  another popular Indian Youtuber and also Abhistu/Vignesh's wife). 

The cheeky vlogs are quite addictive and a provide an extensive look into a modern Indian family of 3 - Subha, Vignesh and their doggo Bigil :-) 

Subha's vlogging style is the perfect blend of confidence and vulnerability. She is modern yet traditional, an independent working woman yet a loving and caring wife.

Watching her vlogs provides a lot of insight about how the people born in the 90s are leading their family units. Here are some of the things that I noticed as a fellow unmarried 90s kid who still lives parents.

- They have a pet to start off with. That seems like a common trend among this generation to have pets before they have kids.

- They have a lot of house plants.

- There is a lot of online shopping of course. There is also a sprinkling of luxury shopping that is new to Indians in general but common among upper middle class in urban cities now a days.

- There are a lot of mini weekend vacations/dates. This is quite a welcome change from our parents' generation.

- Spending time with friends has become as important as spending time with the extended family.

- There is a lot of focus on health - both physical and mental health. 

- There is also a lot of effort and time spent in keeping their house clean and well decorated.

- This generation is entrepreneurial and ambitious. They invest a lot in their career in terms of time, effort and money.

Overall, Cheeky vlogs is a very enjoyable channel - Like a hot chocolate drink on a rainy day :-)
