A week @ The French Riviera!!

Dear Europe,

What a week it was In Europe’s most luxurious cities ,with a team “Work” yes all worked out pretty well,even after all the communication gap we had amongst the venue teams first and then working with these French,We became French-Fried with their ignorance of understanding what we wanted !  something we always knew was a challenges.But,this challenging even I hadn’t expected it to be.

The stringent work laws -Was a total first hand experience of struggle . I had empathy for these the first time, when I learnt about the struggle of author Craig Carlson -in his book ‘Breakfast in America.’When he not only tried,But lived the American dream in Paris.

Fortunate enough with my hectic schedule and my working hours,I managed to live the European lifestyle of walking the streets of the city and witnessing the best venues they had  to offer to the rich and famous personalities.

I also watched the sunrise,the sunset and experienced snowfall and rain in this crazy week.Concluded the trip! with Yes,Cannes day trip! All the hype and a city that,I wanted to explore a couple of years ago when we were on a family vacation, but “Canned”the idea .

The city is beautiful and lively and much more happening than monaco!

Reminds you a lot about Rodeo Drive in LA and Miami Florida.

“It’s was really nice to meet you”

A decade in Social Media

Social Media,It’s been a decade since I have been  on the online space ,officially part of various social media platform.The oldest being the social networking site  and The most recent being Snapchat.And in between  part of various other platforms which did not survive too long to be part of the decade evolution.

In this  past decade the platforms that I have been part of ,are Facebook and  twitter.Twitter took over my Interest ,because  of interactions between the people who you thought you wouldn’t be accessible to Facebook for having  different friend circle as part of a platform.while enjoying the best of both the worlds .I Jumped into WordPress as a blogger,blogging my experiences of life and experiences worth sharing . It then summed up my life   as WTF !! WordPress,Twitter and Facebook . 

But, Wait ! Then Instagram took over as soon as Mobile cameras became the most handy camera’s of our time.Messaging became more convenient through WhatsApp and the online world evolved .Each applications becoming a mirror application of one another. Trying to be the one stop app.But,yet we like our apps for their own reasons.

I have been surviving on so many platforms. and the reason, I believe is the personality each of the apps portrays . My  Facebook friends won’t be interested in blogging articles or my Instagramers won’t like “thePhotography element missing from my photos of the picture perfect landscapes around the world.

The platforms that  I am part of enhances my personality perceive me Unconsciously in the following ways below:

Twitter-An intellectual/Influencer

Facebook-Anti Social

WordPress -A Critic

WhatsApp-Can’t talk WhatsApp only too busy to make and take  calls.

Instagram -A Photographer

LinkedIn-The  networker.

But,Each of these platforms tells me one thing.

That my friends circle too should  also be split into  different groups! Imagine having only a group of intellectuals or being part of an anti-Social group only How boring and monotonous it  would be.

Etiquette’s

Etiquette:What does this word really mean? How much does one really believe in the norms of etiquette’s today? Is this just a word in the dictionary? Or a code of conduct to be followed for a select few?

I am sure,By now you must have guessed these aren’t the etiquette that are followed at dining tables that I am talking about.But,Simple acknowledgements for greeting sent across to you.

What really ticks are mind to not acknowledge gestures of gratitude?

Why are really so obsessed with only believing that their is an X percentage of humans existing in this world?

What is the ego within us,stopping us in appreciating the world,That is beyond our world too.

We,All love quotes.But,Very few of us live by them and even a far fewer number people actually live by it.Only because we keeping coming back to the question why should we do it for them? What really is the benefit I could get in return? And this is the reason why “the society”,We aspire to live in.Will never change and we rarely Question ourself is the society I really wanted to be part ? But,Never really are vocal about it as we fear,Be the only one in the battlefield.

One click one world !!

Have you ever wondered,If you didn’t  have the choice to browse through books from amazon,But instead you entered the world of “brick and morter “store of the amazon world and you suddenly feel lost once again not knowing,Where to begin your search from.The store also,gives you an insight to the world of amazon,Their entree into the Information world and how they plan to be tough in the competitive field.Coming back to the books,You just keep Wondering,How do I look for the book that I am searching for

The amazon website has made life so easy.

Just click on search ,the titles and you get what you were looking for.

Here  I am again,Wondering what genre does my book belong,How am I possibly going to find that one book,I am looking for? Without it even being in any of those list of popular books,Bestseller,authors to read or for that matter if you like this book from this author,you might like these.The store made me only feel,How technology has made us more impatient,When we all would be lost otherwise,in a bookstore.

MB-MEDIA BYTE !!

Is media responsible for shaping the society as a group and  as an individual?
Think about it? 
The media informs us of what is  happening around us,By feeding us with information which they believe might interest us.
There is so much happening around the world,In our country,State and city.That isn’t reported or becomes a eye rolling headline.
May be because,There would be limited audience,attracted to the news.It’s too good to be shared.
Since we all love to share news that have some spice in it. 
Do you  know what happened last night??
It’s not part of a growth strategy for particular beat in the state,City financially ,Economically,Socially and politically and Technologically.
Media is 
responsible for the outlook we perceive of our neighbouring country and culture.
But,More importantly The way the world perceives us as a country and fellow citizen of the country.
The Power,Withheld with journalist and media houses of telling the truth or what’s the truth happening around by balancing their view and not being biased,should be used in rather neutral way ,the  argument weighting the pros and Cons  should be left to the public to decide what they think.
Rather than harping  on  their own thinking as to what we think must have happened and which we truly believe it was.
Media needs to encourage the expression of Opinions and views one might have towards the freedom of the speech,And being the Voice of the voiceless who are waiting to be heard.
