How TikTok is the New Normal of 2020
Alright,
so we have been homebound for almost three months. What has changed
during this period? Everything! From having no domestic help to
cooking every single meal at home, from working from my laptop to my
toddler's daily online classes, to stocking up on multi coloured
masks, these things have become an integral part of our lives or
#TheNewNormal.
If
there is something that let's you push back your worries in these
uncertain times, it's TikTok.
People have been resorting to this app for every aspect of life.
TikTok has become #TheNewNormal. What do I watch on TikTok? Well
literally everything!
When
the Government
of India
itself
is on TikTok, what do you expect? From giving information on Covid to
how to wear masks, from saluting our soldiers on the borders to the
PM speaking himself, you can stay upto date with current affairs
through TikTok. And of course the entertainment factor is forever
there.
Well
the content creators have been doing exceptionally well. They have
adapted to this home quarantine situation and have been churning out
content suited to our new lifestyle.
I
am happy I don't have to scour the NEWS channel for current affairs.
I personally love watching NEWS but not these days. They have become
a source of negativity and I have been trying to keep away from my
television set. This where TikTok Newsroom comes to play. I love the
plethora of articles in the Newsroom and I get lost in
reading.
There
is nothing more entertaining than TikTok videos. The short humorous
ones are my favorite. That's the best way to unwind after a long,
stressful day. Hats off to the creators who post such hilarious
content. Those are enough to uplift anyone's mood.
The
food posts satiate my hunger cravings. Although I cook a lot (a storm
in fact) and our home has become an eatery these days, there is
nothing more satisfying than a time lapsed burger recipe or a Dalgona
coffee. If I want to trim my hair, I would look for those kind of
videos. If I want to give my bedroom a facelift, I open up Home
decor/DIY videos. If I am looking for home workout motivation, I look
no more!
Last
but not the least, watching video of pets is a stressbuster for me.
The amount of unconditional love which they provide is unmatched and
TikTok is an amazing platform to freeze those moments.
Guys
I have joined TikTok too. My handle is docdivatraveller. However I am
yet to post videos! I am already engrossed with their content to make
any of my own :D Are you guys on TikTok? What kind of videos are your
favorite?

ReplyDeleteIts no new normal..it has been made for unemployed people as being commented by its CEO. Better it get uninstalled from our phones
ReplyDeleteIt was a good platform to encourage new talent to showcase their skills. Now that its banned from India I am sure this budding talent will make good use of other platforms to grow as talent dsnt reply on one app.
ReplyDeleteI was never on TikTok but I did like to see videos posted by different influencers and creators. Such a bummer our government banned it completely.
