About Me

Man in a Social Animal and I'm extra-social.

I am a die-hard believer of continuous, experimental & experiential learning. I am passionate about education & career space and have deep interest & understanding of online & web 2.0 businesses.

A passionate biker; love to explore, either places on my ‘Red-Rocket’ (Suzuki Fierro) or via surfing the online world, whenever I'm free (free not idle, as I can never be idle).

And I am a keen explorer and observer, not any specific thing but anything. I believe that everything around us is worth exploring, we just need to keep our eyes open and observe them.

  • A reply on Conversation: Development or Destruction, where are we heading?

    Mar 12 2012: We all know that there is some opportunity cost attached to everything, and what all we are doing in the line of "development' has the same. The problem here is the opportunity cost is always subjective/relative, i.e. various people or better to say stake holders of what would I say, the ecosystem as a whole, but a commercial organization will always keep the profits on the priority and will neglect the other things. There maybe rules and regulation to avoid such things but we don't have a perfect governance mechanism.

  • A comment on Conversation: Development or Destruction, where are we heading?

    Mar 3 2012: To understand this I would like to compare what is happening and what happened in past, and maybe we’ll come to know that the outcome of all this is not what was supposed. Or say we didn’t realize that fact.

    I have tried to understand and share my observations in a blog post (as I can't write more than 2000 characters here). Please do check and let me know what you think: http://naveenmeena.in/development-or-destruction-where-are-we-heading/
