“Is this the true meaning of life?” Photo recreation clip goes viral, social media users get nostalgic

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” The popular quote by Ferris Bueller quite literally flashed in front of the eyes of several on social media after a touching video of a Bihar-based family recreating a 17-year-old family photograph went viral.

Shared on Instagram, by a man named Apoorv Anand, the video features his grandparents, parents, and brother, recreating a cherished family moment from decades prior. 

“We recreated a 17-year-old family photo,” he wrote in the video’s text while explaining that he stumbled upon the old picture and, by sheer luck, everyone in it was together again after many years, inspiring him to recreate the photo.

The video then proceeded to show the family members carefully aligning themselves in the exact positions from the original photo, eventually almost mirroring it, delighting viewers on the Internet.
