Are we getting social or distancing ourselves from each other with advent of social media technologies and tools? This is a perennial debate, fought more vigorously over the social media! This is a boon or a pain depending on how young do you feel at heart. Whatever could be the minus points, social media has a pivotal role in bringing about change in the mindset and actions of people. All depends upon the positive actions we use it for. If you are slow on jumping on to the bandwagon, you still are not too late. Leave apprehensions and get on. Ynot! Cheers, Rajiv Khurana Editor rajiv@rajivkhurana.com 9810211256 Advt. Pages 25
