The internet and social media have brought convenience to our lives, yet they have also introduced an equal measure of chaos. Today, as we are hooked to our phones for all things valuable and useless, this book tackles a few thoughts that may provoke you to pause, introspect and make amends. The project's findings shed light on the negative impacts of social media on individuals, including feelings of isolation, anxiety, and addiction. The book consists of 8 user personas, and their stories are expressed through illustrations that depict their emotions and relationships with social media. The project embraces the medium of social conversations, presenting a few chaotic emotions as an illustrated tapestry.

This project introduces karaoke-based same-language-subtitling for various videos on Youtube to facilitate effective and engaging reading activities for viewers. The objective is to galvanise language learning experience, build confidence, and create a positive change by improving English literacy skills in Indian citizens. It is also expected that such engagement will help stimulate a lifelong love of learning. The project helps create a conducive learning environment for everyone irrespective of their exposure to printed reading materials.
Same Language Subtitling is a deceptively simple innovation that is already delivering regular and inescapable reading practice to many worldwide. The application of this idea to a platform with a user base of 2.29 billion users holds the promise of massive impact. Considering that there are 467 million active YouTube users in India, its impact in our country alone would be enormous.
