All of us are getting used to seeing our colleagues on our laptop screens while having our daily work-from-home meetings, right? The country is on a 21-day lockdown and staying indoors and practicing social-distancing are the two things that we all need to follow right now.?
So, in order to do what they had to do without breaking any rules, this couple from Patna, Bihar got married with the help of video-calling. Since the couple was Muslim, no pheras were required and things reportedly went pretty smoothly. Technology, no doubt, has become mankind's favourite invention.
The video was posted by ANI on Twitter and has now gone viral all over social media with over 35K views and counting. In the video, one will notice family members surrounding the bride and a TV hanging from the wall shows the groom's side.
Once all the rituals are done, people can be seen hugging and congratulating each other, and the bride and groom are brought in front of the television screens to see each other for the first time.?
Video calls have been our saviour during this time of distress. Since we cannot meet people, video calls help people connect and bring them together. But one can't help but deny that its importance has only increased now.
In fact, Facebook has reported a 70 per cent increase in messenger group video calls after the novel pandemic coronavirus placed the whole world in isolation.
