Revolution doesn’t happen when society adopts new technologies – it happens when society adopts new behaviors. Clay Shirky, Here Comes Everybody
Two weeks ago Dilip Kumar and Mohana Rajan tied the knot at the Sree Maha Mariaman Temple in Singapore. What could have been a fairly non-descript event for the world at large is now a mini internet phenomenon.

The title now sports a copyright symbol that was not originally there. Copyright or not, thousands of others...read more Check out Mohana and Dilip's entrances, and see for yourself why their videos have nearly 2 million hits between them!

Kettikari
I'm Bruno, and I'm a kettikaran. Kettikaran is a Tamil masculine word used to describe a male who is successful at achieving something great; in other words, a winner (kettikari for females). For the last few months, this is what a few elders within the Sri Lankan-Tamil community have been telling me - that I’m a winner. No, I didn’t receive a scholarship to school; I didn’t score the winning goal to help my team win the league trophy; I didn’t discover a medical breakthrough. So, what did I do to be bathed with such a commemorative label? Well, I fathered a son as my first child.
