My iPhone Story

I am a gadgets & bike crazy person. I don't know how this sounds, but I spend less time and money in buying clothes, shoes or anything for myself. I am actually less bothered you know as to how I look. I spend more time and money on my bike and gadgets. At least for me these so called material things hold a special place in my heart. 

I love Apple products. I am a loyalist. Rarely you see a company that speaks of giving customer a truly great product. How many times we have seen companies saying, customer is important for us, they motivate us, they are the the king and all those stuff. But it's all fake and just on paper. These things are true until they sell their product but after that, the consumer have to run around.

Spontaneous

Hello guys, apologies for vanishing for 2 months without any information. A lot of things happened in this period. It was an interesting one. Life teaches you some very important lessons in a very strange way. There were some incidents, which I have to tell you:

- I had my exams, so that's the main
reason for me to vanish from blogging.
Now it's over, so glad to be back to
blogging and looking forward to reading
some wonderful blogs...:)

- Death comes knocking when you least
expect it. There were 3 deaths:
- My neighbour's son died of a massive
heart attack. He was just 21 years old.
I was surprised and shocked, just
didn't know how to react.
- I used to go to the library to study.
There one of my friend's mother died
of cancer, just two days before the all
important exam for him.
- A far relative of mine died at the age of
80.

- Attended a NokiaApptasting Indiblogger
event at Bangalore. It was good and a
much needed break for me from so
many things that was going on in and
around.

- Diwali was nothing for me because of
the exams. It's a strange feeling, when
everyone is in festive mood, you need to
sit and study. Hope you all had a safe
and happy Diwali...:)

- Nov 18 was the last day of our all India
exam. On Nov 17, Balasaheb Thackeray
died. As we all know what generally
happens when a leader is dead. A
bandh was called by their supporters. A
thing which every student doesn't want
to happen is the postponement of the
exam & that too the last paper. Well it
was not postponed nationally, but in
some places including Mumbai, the
exam was postponed. I feel sorry for the
students, no offence to his ardent
supporters but after putting a lot of
effort, you just want the exam to get
over as soon as possible. Since that
being the last exam, everyone would
have planned as to what they wanna do
after the exams, some would have
already dreamt but unfortunately, they
all had to wait.

- On Nov 19 went & bought an iPhone 5,
my first iPhone. I am a Apple fanatic, so
it was a just a matter of time before I
bought one. For me buying any gadget
is not just about going there and buying
it. These gadgets hold a piece of me
and my memories. I felt like a kid
who waited for a toy for years to lay his
hands on...:) This is my first post from
this phone, so pardon me for any errors.

I was wondering as to what should be the title, because things happened pretty fast. All the above things happened in a span of 20 days. The first thing that came to my mind was, Spontaneous, so the title.
I have a million thoughts running in my mind, so can't wait to express them and get your honest feedback...:) Keep smiling, do what you love to do and never ever give up on yourself, never...:) God bless.

You, The Crazy One

This is one of my favorite Ad shot for Apple company. This Ad was very important for Apple company as it wanted to reinvent itself and wanted to tell people as to what the company stands for. I just loved it. I love it because of the words used in the ad. Just below the video I have copy pasted the exact words (in Italics) used in the Ad.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

I Will Miss you Steve......

Visionary. Genius. Artist. Leader. Smart. Passionate. Enthusiastic. Innovator. Pioneer. Revolutionary. Perfectionist. Attention to Detail. Marketing Genius…..well dictionary might run out of words to describe who Steve Jobs is. From the day he resigned as CEO of Apple, I wanted to write about him. I feel so passionate about him. I wanted to write because he will never come back to Apple and his trademark address every year at the annual Macworld conference will never be the same again and will rarely be seen in public due to his health. But, I never thought, I shall miss him forever…. :(. Yesterday I decided that tomorrow (i.e. Oct 6, 2011), I will dedicate a blog to him. But, when I woke up today morning it was a mixed feeling. RCB had won last night’s cricket match in a dramatic way by hitting last ball six and heard that Steve Jobs is dead. I felt, I lost something invaluable. Someone Priceless. You know, sometimes you feel close to a person, even though you may have never interacted or met that person. It’s strange but that’s the way it is, difficult to explain.
