How Small Acts of Kindness Can Create a Significant Impact!
In an era dominated by influencers focused on food, fashion, and travel, Ashik Mohamed stands out with his unique mission: spreading peace, love, and kindness through heartfelt storytelling. An IT professional by weekday and a philanthropist on weekends, Ashik's journey to digital fame began unexpectedly. Ashik's breakthrough came with a viral video titled 'English with Merlin,' where he interviewed an elderly, homeless lady who turned out to be an English teacher from Myanmar. This touching story captivated millions. It marked the beginning of Ashik's impactful digital presence. "I wanted to create content that mattered," Ashik explains. Unlike many YouTubers, Ashik sought to do something different. He started engaging with auto drivers, street vendors, and random strangers, asking for their advice and listening to their stories. These encounters revealed fascinating, untold narratives, which Ashik began to share on his YouTube channel. His storytelling quickly gained traction. What began with a few thousand views now attracts millions. Ashik's only agenda is to help people, a mission that has led to remarkable outcomes. One particularly moving story involved a young boy named Roshan, who was struggling to afford college. After Ashik shared Roshan's story, a university vice president offered the boy a scholarship, changing his life forever. Ashik's empathy stems from his own financial struggles during college, which inspired the name of his page, 'abrokecollegekid.' He recalled how he had to take up odd jobs. He had started the page around that time. Today, his followers are inspired to perform acts of kindness themselves, often sharing their experiences with Ashik. Seeing them contribute to society and knowing that he inspired them brings him contentment. One of Ashik's recent videos perfectly encapsulates his mission. Posted on his Instagram handle @abrokecollegekid, the video shows Ashik taking a needy family to a restaurant for a hearty meal. The family's joy is palpable as they order and relish their food—paratha, fried rice, gobi Manchurian, dosa, and paneer fried rice. The touching moment when the youngest daughter sheds tears of gratitude while eating her dosa highlights the profound impact of Ashik's kindness. Ashik Mohamed’s dedication to helping others through storytelling has won numerous hearts on social media. His compassionate actions and the moving stories he shares restore faith in humanity, proving that kindness, indeed, has the power to change lives.
