Steve Jobs, Himesh and Me

If the "teaser" title has already done its part to make you read on this post then let me tell you, we do share a temporary connection and that is this "Friday the 29th of June of year 2007". Yes, this date matters a lot for all three of us and we are eagerly and anxiously waiting for it to happen...and wish from the bottom of our heart to mark it a SUCCESS!

iphone:
I am sure when this gets launched on 6/29/2007 exactly at 6PM local time at all AT&T stores, Steve Jobs will be too curious enough to see the initial reaction. After all it has all the potential to repeat what the ipod did to the music industry. My personal opinion is it may not be that successful but certainly it is going to open a trend the way we use our cell phones now a days not only for the end users but also for the providers. I am too surprised why Verizon and T-Mobile did not shook hands with Apple...but for sure they will be extending it soon if not with Apple but maybe with some iphone competitor..because at the end you and me would like to have just one device for all our personal needs be it PDA, web browser, phone, video, music player, gps and whatever!

Aapka Suroor-The Movieee:
I am not sure was it 2es or 3 es, but Himseh "bhaiyaa" is going all the way out (including pheng-shui of 2es or 3es) to make sure when this gets released this Friday he gets a real "shuroor". I have already heard the album of 2 CDs none of the songs appealed to me. But it is not me but the Auto Rickshaw and Minibus driver association who is going to decide about it. And if initial indicators are true he is set for a success! He needs it very much as after the ride he was taking since "Aashiq Banaya Aaapney & Tera Suroor" is no more helping him. I just wish that would NOT have been a success so we could have got more "Tere Naams".

It also reminds of Sonu Nigam who tried to enter the industry as an actor with the movie "Jaani Dushman-Ek Anokhi Kahani" and it was indeed "anokhi" as in imdb it is tagged as "The Worst Indian Film Ever Made". But Himesh is too smart as unlike Sonu he has not tried any new actress but industry proven Mallika Sherawat. So imagine the cocktail of her, and some crime/thrill on Thai Beaches and 20 odd full volume Himesh (with Shreya, Sunidhi and yes Asha Bhosle too) songs ...its going to be a hit among the masses...Koi Shaque?

So how am I related?
Well after One and Half year this is the date when the chip I was working on is going to be taped out for manufacturing. I will keep my fingers crossed for the next two months when it finally comes to lab to see if it works or not. But if the iphone and Movieee are success by then why wont our Chip will be..right?
