It was a real surprise for retired teachers, Annamkutty and K. D Jose to know that their son had turned out a social media icon overnight.

The video that was posted on his Facebook page on 27th February received words of appreciation from people on world wide web and was shared and liked by many.

"It was a sudden thought that awakened me to post a video sharing my real life experience. Soon after uploading the video, I went out with my cousins. It was when I reached back that I realized the impact that my video had created on the public. I am happy that I could share a positive thought with the people," said Joseph.

'Be the change that you want to see in this world, ' the words spoken by his mother when he was caught watching FTv, when he was just 10 years old remained etched in his mind. Joseph has beautifully narrated his childhood experience in his maiden video' I am the Change.'

I wish all men were like you," the message sent to Joseph by an elderly lady, made him realize the trust he has gained through his video."I am not an exceptional personality, I have my drawbacks and I do have bad qualities, I am a normal individual," says Joseph, when asked about how he would describe himself.
