2. On BuddyHome
BuddyHome is my favorite out of all. With few of my
friends, I made a set of Robots to take care of my
home and me. There were Robots for Cooking,
Cleaning, waking me up. One of the walls at home is
my computer screen and I used to interact with my
computer through gestures.

3. Gmail (loose)Motion (a jab at Google’s April fool idea when I was at Microsoft)
When Google announced ‘Gmail Motion’ – a April fool
prank, I was working on Kinect at Microsoft. Given my
background, I felt it was very much possible to bring it
to reality. With 60 lines of code, with 2 hrs of coding I
made that April fool prank a reality. I also made it work
on Windows Live mail. It was fun…

4. My Kinect Hack –
It was in a movie called ‘Jeans’, Aishwarya Rai dances
with a Skeleton. I was a school boy at that time. I made
it a reality after 10 years at my own home with my own
laptop & Kinect. It was loads of fun.

5. TINA
TINA stands for The Intelligent Next-generation Agent.
My wife still doubts if that was a real acronym or a girl’s
name. I did this project at WIPRO. It was the vision of
Sree at WIPRO, to have robots in Hospitality & Retail
space. TINA can speak 7 different languages, See,
hear people. It can change TV channels, set heater
temparature, control lights, fans, drapes, etc. When
instructed it can connect people to 911 on emergency
& give you medicines. It was loads of fun building it.

7. On Winfotain = Windows + Information + Entertainment System
It’s a simple hack, where I took out the OEM system
and replaced it with Windows Media center, connected
to Internet, Night vision camera, Video & Audio
processing with the night vision, etc…

8. Mr. Astrobot
This was a fun project that I did along with a bunch of
college kids. It was deployed at Microsoft Signature
building, 4th floor for a brief amount of time. When you
are thirsty, you can open a webpage and ‘click’ on ‘Get
me Water’ & this robot will bring water to your desk.
It was loads of fun !! 

9. ‘Microsoft Sam’
It was fun. I was fascinated by the movie ‘Surrogate’
and decided to do build one myself. This Robot that
you see on right was my surrogate. I can talk through
it, I can see through it & can connect to it. I left this at
office one day, went home, connected to it & was
roaming in Microsoft cafeteria talking to people. The
best was when I asked a girl, ‘howz Roti’ when she was
eating ‘Roti’ and she went crazy. <actually scared>.
I also went around knocking at few Director’s rooms &
it was loads of fun.

10. On ‘News Nuts’
A free service that I created when I was a student to
send News alerts as SMS to subscribers. This was
when SMS was paid and cellphones was an expensive
affair. I used a simple hack to send mass SMS for
FREE via carriers. Yuppie, via the same carriers who
charge for SMSes.

11. On DAS
When Tsunami attacked TamilNadu, India, the very
same beach were I used to play beach football with my
cousin was turned upside down. I was a student that
time, with a small pocket money. Instead of donating
money, I jumped into to create a software system to
predict Natural Disasters and alert people. Most of the
data were from USGS. I won’t say it’s a perfect system,
but it worked.
Engineers should think on how to make the world a
better place using their talent. That’s what engineers
do!!

There we go after 15 years…
If you strongly desire to achieve something, without
doubts you will achieve it. You can shape your future
with your sheer thoughts.
“”Just believe it. Never doubt your ability to
achieve it.””

35. Frugal Innovation 
In one of the circulations in North India.
Money can never be a show stopper to make a
difference. If you really wanted to make a difference,
you will figure out a way to do it, even against all odds.
