This review article offers a perspective on Soft Matter, keeping Brownian motion, one of the foundational pillars of statistical mechanics and Soft Matter physics at the centerstage. The article unfolds with a class of pioneering experiments in the domain of Soft Matter. It focuses on a few topics on Soft Matter such as Brownian motion on curved surfaces, biopolymer elasticity, active Brownian motion to name a few. The concluding section ends with a perspective, connecting the apparently dissimilar topics of the review.
