It's taken close to a century for women to be vocal and come out of the closet, which is a sad for the entire human race. Years and years of silence by women achievers, on their accounts of sexual abuse and hate, have literally killed their conscience.  Silence Breakers  - A group of 15 women, who have been subjected to violence, hate, abuse and disturbing acts by certain men of the society are being collectively hailed as the #TIME  Person of the Year for 2017. I would like to believe this to be one of the boldest moves by the TIME Magazine since 1927,...

My world is made up of the wonderful men and women, whom I have befriended online. I'd like to emphasize on the learned individuals I interact with on a regular basis.  Here's a  quick grab  of what I learn from them -  Be outspoken , especially in a world where everyone tries to get the better of the other.

Well, yes it's cool and yes, it gets people to notice your post, however there is a lot of thought process that goes behind creating a specific hashtag, which marketers use to promote products, an event, a sentiment or even an expression of happiness.  You'd ask, wasn't it being done earlier?  The answer is yes! Earlier, words were written with much normalcy, just like ascribing online articles; however, social media lingo and literature have seen a combination, making more users inquisitive and increasing readership.  While you and I ponder upon, on the next best hashtag, which can be used on  Twitter ( this is where it all began ),  Facebook ,  LinkedIn ,  Instagra...

Everyone is demanding their voice be heard, by a brand, policy making organisations or by governments per se.  The last couple of years have seen an influx of government officials getting social media savvy. This has been instrumental in addressing the  Voice of Citizens , thereby leading to quick responses and positive actions against pleas and claims.  Social outreach is not only the mantra to connect, it also determines a medium to empower people.  Going beyond just a brand trying to sell something to a person X, #socialoutreach is essential to create a bond of trust. Rather than focusing...
