Revolution is a process that affects perspectives, perceptions, practices, and hence the outcome. When that actually occurs, the duty of turning it for betterment lies in the hands of people who go through it on a personal front.

The invention has changed his role from mere a language expert to a 2.0 or 3.0 technology savvy. It has forced the otherwise soft soul, creative, and facetious writer, to become a suave technology expert learning new tools of the trade and aligning them with proven old methodologies and procedures while spreading the message with utmost lucidity.
