Look at Karnataka & Yeddyurappa

Look what Mr. Yeddyurappa is doing at Bangalore. On the first day of Global Investor Meet he made Karnataka reacher by well over 3 Lakh Crores which is expected to create 2 lakh new jobs. Also see who are attending - name any who's who of Indian Industry - you will see them here.

Can we not export some of these thoughts to Saikia, Sarma, Bordoloi? When I asked some of the selfless people in Guwahati (at times these people are also known as idiot) recently about what Saikia, Sarma are doing thay said in the lack of such ideas they are only listing to Gohain, Bora, Choudury ...... And people who confront them (at least in public) are still shouting Jai Aai Asom!

Anything in moderation is good!

Do you agree to this - anything in moderation is good? Sucess, failure, anger, love, hate, money, pain, position, .... including life span. Some one told me - this is a mediocracy mentality. But think for a while.

However, problem is how do you maintain moderation?

Home Communication Hub

Have been working on this idea for some time. Essentially it’s a combination of 3 things - video messaging, hyper local news & home utility computing. Brain storming on video messaging took us to video sticky - putting a video note for someone at home.

Here it is -
Its is a touch screen - may be 10inch and attached to the refrigerator. Have wifi or ethernet connectivity - a voip phone. Has a camera inbuilt - so you can make a video call. Since it has video capabilities, we extended the capabilities to video sticky. You can leave a video message to your spouse / kids / family member saying you will be back from your office early today - so let’s plan for a diner outside. Or tell your spouse that you didn't get time to put clothes in washing machine - or ...

So, when it is not doing video it act as a photo frame - so keep your favorite pictures.

Has an app - that fetches hyper local news based on your location. Be it local events, school news, crime, discounts in local stores, weather & what not ... Bye the way this will be a big thing – do a google and you will get plenty of stuff on this.

It’s also act as a home utility device. Has a family calendar, set reminders etc.

Have you seen what happen when ego takes over ... even the best of the best fails, forget about ordinary. But the problem is it's so difficult to figure out that you are under the control of your ego.
