A poem on the martyrs of the nation

Never Be Forgotten

Champions of freedom meet
in patriotic ground,
while living hero tears
are dropped without a sound.
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

With pounding, burning sulfur
sweat and blood mixes true;
while lungs breathe in shrapnel
hands carry red, white, and blue.
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

Chipping lives in weathered stones
History tells the story,
of common men and women
plunged into the extraordinary...
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

Slow stepped, dirty sneakers
tramp on solemn, sunken graves;
novelty of cameras
flash only on certain days.
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

Their battles so long over,
some souls sit living guilty,
remembering and wondering...
why my friends and not me?
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

On foreign fields alone
blood soaks deeper in time,
telling stories of liberty
and making it truly mine.
Whispers sing softly--
Never be forgotten...

Memories and relics
service felt so true,
meet with haunting whispers...
I will never forget you.

Social media - a boon to Companies

Day by day, the rate of social media usage is increasing. I found a really interesting article about its progress.


18% TV advertisements generate positive ROI
56% of people avoid buying from Companies that advertise too much.
100% increase in advertising leads to 1-2% increase in sales


In such cases there are chances for Companies that are doing well to survive.
But the mid-size companies cannot afford such huge cost for promoting their product.
Since Social media is a platform for them to collaborate with their customers, they can enhance the customer satisfaction to increase their revenue.


10% influences the purchasing behaviour of the rest 90%...


There is no concept of consumers in Social media marketting.Its Prosumers where the customers themselves are the producers and consumers of information
