Hello people,
I had created my blog a few weeks ago, but was not sure how to start posting, or what should be my first post, I was just not getting anything which would qualify as a first post of my first blog.
Then something happened today, something, which I hope would change my life forever.
Well here it goes...
There is a show called "Gadget Guru" which comes on NDTV. About 2 months ago, I don't remember exactly, but it was definitely sometime when iPhone 3G was launched worldwide; the show had a contest, which would give the winner an iPhone 3G.
The contest was that we have to come up with an idea of a killer feature for the iPhone. I had it in my mind that the iPhone lacked a keypad, though it has a virtual keypad, but still it doesn't match up to the real world keypad experience. So I thought integrating a keypad which is laser projected on any surface (preferably flat surface) would be a boon for the Apple iPhone. I told my idea to my dad right after the show got over and he asked me to submit it immediately. But I said I will submit it after 12 am, because then I have free internet as per my Internet connection tariff.
Alas! Me being a lazy & forgetful (only when I need to remember something the most) earthling, I forgot to email them that very day and this thing of remembering and forgetting continued days, weeks & months! In between they had also extended the contest for like 1 more week because of the huge popularity of the contest. But still I don't know why I didn't submit my idea, even when I was damn sure that this is the best idea and I knew this idea will definitely win.
And today as I was just being myself (read LAZY) and watching the TV, I saw Gadget Guru and this was the episode where the winner and his idea would be on the show. The moment of truth. And guess what, same idea, even the same words that I had spoken! Believe it or not, I was shocked. Really mad at myself, but also feeling proud that my idea really won the first prize. I had like a major flood of adrenaline hitting all my body parts within seconds after I saw the results.
I told everything to my family members... and thats another long story as what happened next!
The only outlet I find right now for my own justification is this, my very own blog. So now let me try and recover from this.
