Moments so Far ...

Photo is print media continues to inspire me to give a third in this series of posts. Hopefully trilogy end here. So lets get rolling. Mahesh kale , a college alumni left a message on linkedin.com . Harshal Gaikwad and Milind Deshpande have liked the blog post on Facebook. Priyank and Bhuvnendu have also liked the status on Facebook. Geeta ji who sits diagonally behind me. You don't notice when she comes, when she goes or when she is having her lunch. Her presence is quite. We share office space. The space is provided by elagaan.com . Navin at elagaan put out a notice in bangalore coffee club  and we took the opportunity. If you are nearby Arekera Mico Layout, Bangalore then do check out this place. There are few more seats left. But yesterday, she came over and whispered to me. "I saw your photo in paper. I told all my people. " "I reminded them that its the same person whose application I had described some days back. " Few days back I had give...

The adoration continued for the second day. Who said appearance in newspaper is only for day? Aynur, Google Sales Manager, " Good and interesting presentation.  I will definitely promote this in SG". Shafeek,  Your idea is excellent and your efforts to make it multilingual and international is great". Check out his mobile apps on Symbian OS . Ravi kiran, former collegue and alumni friend (VNIT) called up in the evening and congratulated @ourhousehelp.  Avi, a Brigade School going kid, came over from nowhere when I was in children park with my youngest one.  "Uncle, Your photo had come in paper yesterday." "Yes" "Nice application" "Do you want to see it?" I showed him. He played for a few secs and his interest waned.  "You are mushkans father no?" "Yes"  "I will tell my mother about it." He patted me on my back. And he ran away to his parked cycle. Prime Jyothi , an ardent ph...

"I hid at different places, but everyone found me. They all were telling 'Your father photo came in newspaper today'. The words of 7 year old kid whose fathers photo came in newspaper courtesy @ ourhousehelp . She went to the furthest park and played there. Kids do not like too much attention, I guess. She was getting ready in the morning when the first call came from Bhavna. Sunil, her husband has seen the photo and wanted her to call us even though they knew we would be busy with packing kids to school. But sometimes happiness overflows and it showed. Its good to let it flow. Its infectious. The poor paper was lying outside till then. With the call the paper was brought in and we opened the page number 2 of Bangalore Mirror. The photo was indeed there. Never before did I hold Bangalore Mirror with so much regard. Janki called up and shared her happiness. Srinis father informed them in morning and she came to know from Srini. Reetesh, the meta guy from Vrce , work...

It was fun at IIMB who were host to mobilecampindia which was co-sponsered by Flypp and Intel App-up. Thank you keshav, hari and rest of the 9 volunteers of momo's eleven. The above all helped me to present @ourhousehelp otherwise known as househelp at android market. It was pure fun. I could notice few grim IIM professors smiling during the presentation. The positives were lifting as I described the journey so far. In brief heres a  gist for you.  The idea belonged to my spouse who released the budget for me to buy Android powered Samsung Galaxy 5. I am also grateful to the thugs who took away my old Nokia and my love for Nokia in a tight BMTC ride. The development began in November end and househelp was released on Android market by end of december 2010. Now it has support for 51 languages and used by people across the globe.  The power of presentation was so strong that audience had already downloaded app and were asking of features which I had not covered dur...

I am this body. I need a stimulant to create sensation. The sensations through my sensory system create feelings. These feelings make me feel good or bad. This view is outside in. Stimulants are like drugs. Initially small grams of drug powder make you feel high. Then with time your body gets used to that quantity of dose. You are forced to increase the amount of intake. The cycle is kicked in. Stimulants generated feelings take you away from reality. They deceive you into a state which is unreal. A world where you are not creative, where you only react to external world. Your mind is not working but your body is reacting. This body reaction becomes your reality. Take example of movie. You are connected to the anger in movie. You are connected with the emotions of the actor. What you feel is his/her enaction? They are not your feeling. They are sad, you are sad. They are happy, you are happy. Take TV serial. You are addicted to watching them. If you dont get to see them, yo...
