How to use WhatsApp in Marathi

Humans can not live independently of other humans, regardless of all the problems we create for each other we are one of the best advocates of cohabitation. And technology has played its part in bringing people together even if it is often responsible for creating distance between people. From finding the nearest cafe of your choice to ordering daily essentials we find ourselves using technology from the most mundane to the most essential things in our daily routine. Technology has changed the way we communicate and go through our daily lives.

Another thing that brings us closer to people is culture, and language is the biggest part of every culture. Some things can be best expressed in Marathi lose their touch when tried to be said in English or any other language for that matter. Calling your neighbor Vahini brings you closer to them than calling her by her name. That’s the power of language and the role it plays in bringing people together. This goes for all mediums of communication including the most popular medium in today’s day and age i.e texting.

In India, you can not talk about texting/chatting with mentioning the most popular chatting application WhatsApp. Whatsapp has become a household name in India. It has played a big part in bringing families together across the nation.
