Being A Rebel

Being a Tech Entrepreneur, IT professional and Social Media enthusiast, technical things - smartphone, laptop and the related accessories have become integral part of personal and professional life. Even If I have to take it to public, these things are essential.    Even though such things have become need of life, living with those needs are really tiring. How much I wished to escape from such dependency.... but day by day it is growing deeper.  Simple Nokia 2300 was much better then Blackberry, at least it had everything I needed. I remember how we had ques in Hostel phone lines before the mobile started. That time we wished to have handsets. Growing needs also making the great contribution in technical vulnerability. My personal experience says this story of tech dependency and vulnerability. All jokes on blackberry addicts seem realistic when I am really busy posting on social media, specially on twitter . The emails and news related with industry and t...

Prologue: Smartphones are addictive How a Blackberry Phone 'feels' - enjoy reading -- Dear Owner, Read this - its nice and fun ... I'm so lucky I'm your BlackBerry! You hold me with both hands as gently as u could be. You ensure that I am always with you. If I fall you are afraid of my injury. I always have your undivided attention, you get upset if others disturb our time together. U can never forget me in a taxi & u won't let me go unlike my old friends nokia, sony and samsung that u would proudly just hand over. When u eat, I'm beside u. When u r on the toilet seat, I'm with u. When u sleeping, my head is by ur pillow. When I scream u rush and pick me like an egg. When I feel low, you make every effort to recharge my battery. When I am hungry, you fill me with airtime. You buy me all sorts of clothes to cover my precious skin. And if I make u feel like a cowboy u strap me to ur wa...

A few weeks ago, entire cabinet of a state government has to resign due to alleged 'rape and murder' of an unofficial political 'keep' by a state minister. India media managed a down play and story dint go viral. Yesterday, some foolish MLAs were watching porn on their smartphones within the assembly house... And this story is still being played with some spices even by International media.  At local social media, It went viral with hashtag #porngate  . It is not a new incident for Indian politics or even for global politics. Clinton's famous blow-job-scandal, Gandaffi's virgin army and teen-sex-fetish of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are some of recent politicians' sex-masala news. The important question arises, why politicians are too much into sex? Ancient and Medieval Feudalistic societies of Roman and Egypt had such sex obsessed rulers, but the situation was explained by the existence of authoritarian regimes where commoners were help...

Social Enterprises are mean to address the social issues. Their main goal is to meet the cause, along with the financial sustainability of the organization. A social entrepreneur would always opt for the way to choose the cost efficient methods to meet its end. The communication and promotion are always tricky issue for such organizations. Social media provide a suitable solution for social ventures to propagate and popularize their product, services or cause without any cost. It would also get new volunteers and potential recruits who would identify themselves with the cause. This is a new boon for social organization.

The majority of social enterprises around 85 per cent, social media to promote their products and services, ha...
