And it went viral



Isn’t social media all about striking when the iron is hot?

Something like that happened on  September 13, the day when justice was delivered, the day when nation’s wait for justice finally came to an end, the day when Nirbhaya may finally rest in peace.

And yes, the day when India breathe a sigh of relief, with a hope that this conviction will deter people from committing such crimes in future.

Many people took to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to express their happiness and here’s one such reaction:

Justice Delivered

Like everyone, we too wanted to share our happiness and luckily we had a platform like “Delhi for Women Safety” to say what we wanted to say and guess what, the response took us by surprise. A simple post “#JusticeDelivered today... Finally all four convicts awarded death sentence.” went viral and like how.

With the number of post likes counting over 1.8 lakhs and over 11 thousand shares in just 2 days, people were commenting continuously to share the sign of relief, happiness and joy after the judgment.

A community of 50,000 people and a post getting over 1.8 lakhs likes? Now that’s something.
Now it would be bad to not mention the number of comments we got on one single post.
Guess… Guess… Guess

Well, we got almost 4500 comments and yes not to mention that all this was organic. We didn’t use money to promote this post.

Now even though the wide smile on our face says it all, but we are more than happy with the judgment and not to mention the amazing response we got from awesome Indians who were just as happy as we were with the conviction.


At OML, we love doing things with a bang and this post is just another feather in our cap. Keep a tab as we make more headlines in future.  

P.S: Wrote this blog to go on company's official blog but it couldn't... So finally putting it on my personal blog :)
