9 year old Fayiz makes a paper flower
Nikhat Fatima, siyasat.net
Anybody trying to make a video of oneself would falter, edit or retake the video when things don’t go as planned. But not Muhammed Fayiz, a student of class 4 who was shooting a video where he was making a paper flower to post on YouTube.
Fayiz began with super confidence on how to make a paper flower instructing his viewers on the materials they would need, like a paper, a pencil and a scissors. He then instructs on how to fold the paper, draw the pattern then cut it is the required manner. As he instructs he is also working on the flower. And at the last stage when he has cut the pattern he unfurls the paper expecting a flower but it is all cut up.
But Fayiz continues calm and unperturbed, despite the fact he goofed it up. He goes on to say: “It works out for some people, doesn’t for others (chelorthe aavum, chelorthe avilla). I didn’t get it right. But that’s not a problem for me,” showing the cut-up paper

This line became an instant hit with the viewers who were amazed that the little boy’s calm composure. The 2 minute video became viral and his line was picked up the advertising agency of Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, who made a poster that read: Some people get it right, some people don’t. But everyone will get tea right, if the milk used is Milma.”
This poster was uploaded on the official page of MILMA (Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation). When social media users saw this poster they pointed out that the federation should purchase the line from Muhammed Fayiz and give him royalty. MILMA gladly agreed and paid Rs. 10,000/- as royalty amount to the child. They also gifted him Android television worth Rs 14,000 and Milma products. Though it was not a commercial advertisement, it was a motivational message to lighten people’s moods said the MD of MILMA.
Political memes were also made on these lines said by Fayiz making him popular. The collector of Malapuram District K Gopalakrishnan, also used this line for an awareness poster on COVID-19 saying: “Some people have it, some people don’t. Don’t allow it to spread everywhere.”
Dr Aysha Bi , also from Mallapuram and who happens to know Muhammed Faiz informed Siyasat.net, that Fayiz has donated the Rs.10,000/- he got from MILMA for the CM’s Relief fund for COVID.
Muhammed Faiz, who shot the video on his mother’s phone with the intention of becoming a you tuber, says when he grows up, he wants to join the police force.
He is unable to grasp the impact his confident delivery of that simple sentence has made on the viewers. He smiles innocently when asked about it. “It came naturally to him, he wasn’t in the least perturbed” said Dr. Aysha Bi, a gynaecologist running a nursing home of her own called Life Care Hospital in Malapuram.
