Confessions of a Twitterholic

However, as I write this piece for Blogadda, I’m sure that you, the reader, have moved to a point far ahead from the one where you exclaimed ‘aw3s0m3!’ (a geeky way to express that adrenaline rush on seeing a neat digital phenomena) looking at videos sharing social media statistics.

PR by Accident

Post by Surekha Pillai on her journey to become a PR Consultant.

I wanted to be a truck when I grew up. I believed kids grew up to be objects of their desire. When I outgrew that phase, not without heartbreak, I set my heart on becoming a doctor. Children back then had dreams of either becoming a doctor or an engineer. I was not quite sure what an engineer did whereas a doctor’s job seemed easier and more fun, so I settled on doctor.
