The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

LESS THAN AN HOUR TO GO - HOW THE APPLE EVENT IS TRENDING..

I am not an iPhone fan or an Apple follower. But no communication professional can ignore the massive global appeal that each iPhone launch generates. The extent of coverage that it gets is beyond the organizing capacity of any public relations agency or groups of marketing communication professionals.

What Steve Jobs gave to the world is a  must case study for every communication expert to deliberate on 'how iPhone became a global brand with revenue surpassing overall turnovers of tech companies like Microsoft or IBM'.  

Globally or nationally (here in India), the Apple event to launch the next iPhone is going to be trending event of the day. It is already in the top run on many social media sites and a rage on different traditional and online media platforms.

In less than an hour from now, Apple will launch, as the reports say, and as has been the trend preceding this launch, iPhone 6S, new Apple TV and a 'big' iPad - probably.

There may be something else in the store as analysts are expecting some surprise given the scale of the event this year - in an auditorium that can accommodate 7000 people. As expected, the online Apple store is down before the start of the launch event with its 'comeback' message.

Let's see how the launch event is trending on Twitter, the global storehouse of #hashtags (and news and opinion) on any ongoing breaking development.

Globally, in worldwide trends, the event with hashtag #AppleEvent is trending at the top. Then there are two other 'iPhone tags' are in top 10 - iOS 9 No. 5 and iPhone 6S at No. 6. #AppleEvent is also on top on Twitter's US page. In United Kingdom trends, it is at No. 3. In Dubai, it is at No. 2 - going by the trends written in English. In Japan, I could not understand as all the trending topics were written in Japanese. In Germany, it is at No. 2 but it is yet to come in top trends on Twitter's France page.

In Canada and Mexico, #AppleEvent is on top while in Brazil, iPhone 6S is on top and iOS 9 is at No.3. Singapore has #AppleEvent at the top while Malaysia has iPhone 6S which is No. 2 in Philippines.

In India too, the event is on top of the minds now - if we go by Twitter. #AppleEvent was trending in top 10 but now, few minutes before the launch event, it is trending at the top.

Almost similar trends are visible on Twitter pages for trending events in different countries.

The fever has built up the aura, like it always happens. And the wait for the millions of iPhone fans are just about to get over with the San Francisco launch event going live in few minutes.
