Patterns of Social Failure – The Beginning
For long I have been observing the life around me and how things move towards failure. Many times when things happen around me and I exclaim “Hey! what is this? Is it a solution or is it beginning of a new problem? Has it really solved the problem.” And after repeating this statement at different occasions, I started feeling that there are patterns. So with the new year, I have made a decision to write about these patterns I see around.
The first pattern of social failure is about me. You can treat this as my disclaimer for this series of posts I plan to do. So this pattern says that the person who has a computer at his disposal, enough time and money to host his blog feels that he has an opinion and he can publish it online and claim that he is right. But wait… if I am writing a pattern, it should have some structure. Right? So I am putting this in a structured format. Note that because of this first pattern itself, I am not restricted to this structure and I can change it anytime because “THIS IS MY BLOG”

About 5-6 years back when I was living on planet Orkut, I made some friends and met a few but there was no real value add in being on social network at that time. All you could see around is pictures created with letters, birthday greetings, seasons greeting and so on. Most of those I was contacting / connecting on these networks were already on my cell phone contacts and lifting the phone to talk to them was easier.
As the years are passing, many of the old friends are drifting physically away from each other and suddenly two things happened to me or began happening. I was on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Suddenly this year I have started connecting to old friends again. I used to blog also but the readership was pretty limited. With these social networks I am reaching many more of my old pals. More

कौशल इनामदार हा मराठी तरुण पिढीचा आघाडीचा संगीतकार. त्यांनी सुरेश भटांच्या गीताला एक अप्रतीम चाल लावली आणि मराठी भाषेच्या अभिमान गीताचा जन्म झाला. तो यावर नुसता थांबला नाही तर मराठी माणसांनी विचार केला नसेल असा पराक्रम त्याने या गाण्याच्या ध्वनिमुद्रणाच्या वेळी करून तो अमलात देखील आणला. अनेक गुणी पण अव्यावसायिक गायकांना एकत्र आणून आणि भारतातील उत्तम तंत्रज्ञांना (फक्त मराठी हवेत असा अवास्तव आग्रह न धरता फक्त उत्तम देण्याच्या ध्येयाने) एकत्र आणून या गाण्याला जन्माला घातले. एक माता जितक्या वेदना सहन करेल तितक्याच तळमळीने त्यांनी हे गीत मराठी लोकांसमोर सादर केले.
