The song has been composed by Jeet Gannguli and written by Kunaal Vermaa.

The poster is steeped in romance and gives you a good idea of what you can expect from the song. Those who have seen the music video directed by Navjit Buttar vouch for the fact that it is as gorgeous as the audio track.

Talking about the process of shooting the music video, director Navjit Buttar says, “We worked very hard to create some interesting visuals for the song. When I heard ‘Ho Gaya Hai Pyaar’, I instantly fell in love with it. I wanted to shoot a video that would complement the melody and the lyrics of the song. The beauty of the song and the video is its simplicity which will strike a chord with the audience instantly.”

Navjit, who started his career in the Punjabi music industry, is now a name to reckon with nationally. Donati Media, a film and visual production house set up by Navjit and Team; Donati has produced numerous videos under the supervision of Navjit Buttar. He has directed some of the most popular music videos made in the recent past like T-Series ‘Dil Lauta Do’ featuring Sunny Kaushal and Saiyami Kher and Jubin Nautiyal’s ‘Khushi Jab Bhi Teri’ featuring Jubin Nautiyal and Khushali Kumar.

Baby Blobs – An NFT That Grows With You

December 4, 2021

Non-Fungible Tokens have been the rage for the past few months. Digital artwork, GIFs, music, and even pictures that can be made available digitally are something that one can purchase with their cryptocurrency. However, based on the rarity of the NFT, people can make a profit as they trade.

Unfortunately, the market has been flooded with too many fakes, and a lot of people trying to make some money and disappear the first chance they get.

Enter, an ambitious team that understood how to make sure that people get the best of what they invest in.

Blobnimation – There’s a lot of NFTs out there like GIFs, making it harder for people to counterfeit them and copy them, but the developers of Baby Blobs believe in offering the best, so they went one step further. They made their NFT interactive through HTML. Play with them with your cursor, squish them and make them bounce. A digital stress ball that doesn’t cramp your hand.

Blob Rarity – Baby Blobs are divided into 4 tiers, each representing the rarity of the Baby Blob artwork.

Tier 1: A simple background with a non-patterned or gradient blob.

Tier 2: Patterned background with a patterned or textured blob.

Tier 3: A unique hand-drawn blob and its variations with a hand-drawn background that compliments the blob.

Tier 4: Unique one-of-a-kind blob and a unique one-of-a-kind background that is specific to that blob alone.

Baby Blobs debuted on Solana, one of the fastest-growing blockchains in the cryptocurrency market, being able to process over 50,000 transactions per second. To top it off, Baby Blobs is the first interactive NFT in Solana history. Imagine having the first coin ever made, the first car, the first painting or even the first computer. Solana is one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrencies and Baby Blobs has created history by being the first to introduce themselves in its market as something that engages you. Remember the time when we thought crypto wasn’t going to work out? With Baby Blobs, people really don’t need to doubt themselves.

Blobartwork –150 unique backgrounds, 1000 different bases, and 60 distinctive faces ensure that what you have is special enough for people not to mistake it for a dupe. None of the blobs ever repeat, so every blob you mint is your very own to love and play with. There’s plenty of doodles out there of various distorted primates, flora, and fauna, and sure, there was an effort taken in their creation, but we can agree that Baby Blobs has scored staggering numbers.

Blob Validity – Are these something worth investing time, money, and energy in? An amazing company called FTX exclusively launched Baby Blobs on their mint day, bagging them before any other company could make an offer. Various NFT influencers and the CEO of FTX have tweeted about them, and their own exclusive Blobs. A successful charity campaign was executed, with an exclusive Baby Blob being auctioned.

There were multiple measures taken to ensure that Baby Blobs would be something that people didn’t just purchase to flip, but, something that could be kept, interacted and played with or even held as an investment over time. However, they did face multiple issues with their launch and their mint. This created a bad buzz amongst a community of NFT flippers. People minting Baby Blobs wanted more that made sure that holding onto these amazing pieces of digital art history would give returns quickly.

The Developers have decided to pause the minting, bring in more interactive features, and introduce background stories. Community relations may not be the top priority to a lot of NFT artists or developers, but the Baby Blobs team is here to flourish with those who mint a piece of crypto history, and most importantly, they’re here to listen.

For those who have been lucky enough to mint a few Baby Blobs before the mint pause, congratulations will be in order as they grow over time, and for those who decided to continue with digital artwork, flora, fauna, or primates, give Baby Blobs a try, they’ll grow with you.
