Move On

Recently found out that some of my blogs or let's say whatever comes or strikes my mind were said here and elsewhere. Keeping the objective as simple as to keep the content of future blogs aimed towards the civil society like news, startup ideas, innovation, thoughts, interesting research, findings, archeology, historical details, geographical science and human lives, a hing or two about radio, internet, human (digital communications), content disseminating platforms, politics, investigative writeups, stories, developmental discussions or anything that adds value in this eco-syst.
 I look forward to feedback and suggestions from friends and folks. There will be a section where I should be able to tell you short stories or ideas behind most of the pictures- i think it will be interesting to begin with. More story and content related ideas will come from social hubs like FB, Twitter, LinkedIn etc as and when we progress.

Even a share of thought you wouldn't mind to share otherwise, information is safe here. I am shifting to a wordpress platform and begin afresh keeping the theme intact- "I post anything which comes in my mind and attracts my attention."

I will share details about the content with you from the new blog soon...BIG Cheers till then.

To smile or not to smile is not the question

People are using emoticons into there day to day lives. The question is do they really mean at times what they say? The American Journal of Sociology authors Daniel A. Menchik and Xiaoli Tian have expressed how subject lines and signatures define what has to be interpreted in formal communication. A new set of interactional skills in short.

It is true that while text messaging, communicating by messenger, sending emails, commenting on blogs, writing an article (formal and informal both) use of emoticons have grown. Why? Besides face-to-face conversations, body-language and context, emoticons are good way to express things. Basically an add-on to writing.

I feel that emoticons can be sometimes, just a way to deceive people, as in, you do not mean what you say. For example a smiley to make the person/s believe that they are good and happy, whereas they are not (maybe).

Effective, online strategies, in short. Like there are other ways of communicating Capital letters, use of quotations, exclamation points, punctuations, bulleted points are a few. I AM BUSY, reflects a new dimension to meaning. A smiley added to the sentence leads to sarcasm.
