Add as a Friend

Social Structure is based upon the connection between people enhanced by the technology around them. Starting from saying "hi" to the never ending relationships between people is amazing. Once the connection is made, it takes ages for it to break or may be infinity. 

Being in a group and having a friend circle is a unique features of Human being that is studied in any sociology text books. The happening or making of a group is quite interesting to look at. Don't criticize me for being OVER scientific but mathematicians have some how managed to come with certain approximate ways of defining the social group in numbers.

With the rising age of Online Networking groups available, it has become more easier to analyse the group and make a suggestion on them,NUMERICALLY. Also, the rising of the REALITY SHOWS like BIGG BOSS and others, it has given a social analyst a platform to analyse the social bonding and a structure.
 
Let me narrate a short observation that was made in Discovery Channel.

It was about a child psychology. A small girl about one or two years old shopping was shopping in a mall, when she encounters another girl of same age. They stare for a moment but do not talk to each other. 

Soon they get accustomed to each others existence and they start to mingle with each other. After a while they are holding their hands and running around the shopping complex as if they were meant to be with each other. 

After a while another girl of the same age enters into the scene with her mother. Suddenly, the previous girls encounter the new girl. They all stare at each other but do not respond. The previous girls hold each other hands and runs away playfully. The new girl then clutches her mothers hand and stares at them running away as if being left out. This small social experiment was actually carried out by the Discovery Channel. This small and unconscious behavior that was being observed says a lot about us. 

These unconscious behaviour is natural not only in child but also in all the human being. It is the foundation on which social structure are constructed.

Finally, what matter is the bond and the strength of the social structure. Today, many online networks are present, we still have a time to check its strength and weakness.

Bruce Lee

Yes. Bruce Lee . Remember all the punches and kicks in his all time hits movies. But why am I talking about him. Am I going to talk about his movies? No, I am not. I am going to say about his philosophies which have been so many times projected in his fighting styles. By the way, he also wrote a book. Many may not know but he had a unique way of thinking about the life and his art of fighting. Let me put forwards his thinking, in my own words.   He believed in efficiency and rejected any amount of redundancy that affected the performance. He believed that there is no one style which is correct. Everyone has their own unique way and must harness those skills rather waste their time in doing something that is not efficient at all.  There are many fighting styles carrying their own norms and values. Every style starts by assuming something. But slowly those assumption are taken as a Gospel truth, and people make them into rules which cannot be broken. But, without understanding the key me...

Being an Artist and Being an Entrepreneur is almost similar

Most people flock to big cities to pursue their dreams and struggle for years. Some people succeed but many still find themselves waiting for the opportunities. They consider that opportunity is the biggest thing that can actually leverage their talent or skill. But I believe that it is not always so. There are couple of examples that proves that opportunity along is not everything. Moreover in today’s media hyped world, opportunities are everywhere from a reality TV shows to your own youtube channel, twitter account or facebook profile. If you look around in youtube, there are lots of artists doing great with their skills and scaling them to offline. This gives a lot of encouragement to all those people who want to pursue their passion. But there is a reality beyond pursuing your dreams that everyone considers once in a while. It’s how far you can take yourself with what you have. Most people get stuck on it and lose their passion in mid way, and some people simply cannot go beyon...
