Some of you probably like my blogs here.. But you have no idea how much time and determination it really takes me to get to writing one post.
To get over my block, I googled for a few tips and so now I plan to write on what I don't have to think much before I write. But owing to the simple fact that I already think too much, I just thought I'll write what I anyway thought. Never mind!
Its summer time and I am doing an intern. I was on my way back from office, reading 'The Google Story'. I dream of becoming an entrepreneur some day and hence, my dad leaves out no article on the subject unread or at least unreferenced, for my benefit, so that he can suggest it to me. I was in the setting that could lead to something historical.
But just take a look at what it has been leading to...
So 'The Google Story' was giving me valuable lessons of life.
The lesson that was resonating in my mind lately was that don't accept things the way they are if they are really worth a change.
My mind has since then been looking at things in a different perspective. Everything I look at seems imperfect and I really feel that its worth a change.
Soon enough, I realized that this world is too imperfect for me to be able to change all alone . I am putting here a few of my requirements of change.. so that you able thinkers and researchers (and whatever else you might want to be called to pay heed to my requests :P) can aid me in this mighty task of changing the world...
Who the hell made such a big newspaper???
Isn't there anyone else around who simply hates the newspaper because its so inconvinient to read? May it be under a fan or in a car or a bus (or toilets? :P), I have come to believe that the newspaper, inspite of being something that you'd want to read anywhere, in its current form can be read comfortably only in an air conditioned room with a large table.
So I thought, I'm gonna make a magazine sized newspaper so that anyone can read it with convinience. But I realised publishing a newspaper requires more than a printing press and a paper cutter...
I considered selling my idea to 'The Times Of India' but I figured that even if they like my idea, they are not gonna pay me for it. So if its for free, why not let all of you think over it???
A token system for libraries...
I am really frustrated by the library system of leaving your books outside. Do these librarians have any idea how irritating a library full of millions of books is for a person who needs a particular book and has it just outside the library but only wants to have the pleasure of reading it inside?
So, I want a token system introduced in the library so that I sign in with the name of my book and when I come out, it can be checked.
If not this, I want an air conditioned reading room similar to the library with racks filled with dummy books and nice tables and most importantly, ample power plugs and lighting, so that it gives the same ambiance as the library.
If I were an IIT Bombay alumnus, I would pay for it and have it done. Any alumnus or about to be alumnus listening??? Or maybe an avid reader?
These are all I could think of at the moment and if you thought of more, don't forget to add it in my comments.
I could have all of these innovations to my own credit but as I see it, the urgency matters more.
Afterall, What's In A Name?

The sort of newspapers you are talking about already exist.
ReplyDeleteTabloid newspapers are common in UK. The Sun is one.
Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabloid
Also, you have some newspapers called Compact Newspapers, like Mumbai Mirror, but whether MM deserves to be called a newspaper is another issue.
:) Newspapers are fine stha.. the averagely heighted man has no problems with them ;)
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, the library thing is a good idea. Thinking up new things soon. :)
