The Twitterati has had an overwhelming response to Rahul Bose’s #WhenIWas13 campaign.
Rahul Bose is donning the hat of a director for ‘Poorna’ , following which he started a campaign asking social media users to share memories or experiences from when they were 13 years old.
Amongst the politico’s and serious matters, we had a happy something spreading smiles all over. The campaign fast caught momentum and became the talk of the town.
Rahul Bose took twitter down their memory lane and twitter was buzzing with some bittersweet memories of childhood.
Rahul Bose says, “When I recorded and tweeted the #WhenIWas13 video blog I did so because it was such fun remembering the time one entered teenage, the anxieties, the fun, the grown up feeling etc. But what has been amazing is the response of people who have watched it. Everyone replied with photos and tweets reminiscing about their 13-year-old selves. It’s obviously struck a chord. It shows how deep down we are perhaps not all that different from each other.”
It was welcomed with open arms. Not only has twitter enjoyed themselves reliving their memories, it’s also the tinsel town which had been besotted with the campaign and merrily enjoyed engaging .
