My first Mobile Phone App: The flashing tail light!
Cycling on crowded, poorly illuminated city streets can be a nightmare thanks to the recklessness of vehicular traffic. Cyclists, like pedestrians, are known to be accident prone. Lack of separate cycling tracks adds to their predicament. Considering the ubiquitous presence of mobile phones, I realised that these gadgets can be deployed quickly as a safety gadget if used as a tail light. All one needs is a transparent backpack. Install my piece of software on any MIDP2 compatible java enabled mobile phone and enhance your safety as a pedestrian or a cyclist on city roads!

Konkan Trip
Small winding roads make way through thick greens,
As the road curves along it reveals the typical Konkani scene,
There are houses with thatched roofs,
Surrounded by boisterous shoots,
There are evergreen paddy fields,
And stocks of cattle feed,
Through a rare green cover clearing we catch the first glimpse of the sea,
It is a picture postcard perfect scene,
As cool but humid breeze brings an occasional downpour over a distant devrai,
Traces of golden sand indicate that we are nearing the beach,
Soon a rail track glides over the sea,
While a lighthouse over the shore cliff signals our arrival to boats out on a fishing spree,
Konkan is surely the 'jari cha padar' of nature's unfurled 'saree'...
Dotted with peaceful temples and this satisfied look of glee!!
My Propeller LED display
Here is a video of my all new propeller LED display. The display uses six Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). An IR Tx Rx pair refreshes the display with each motor rotation. The pattern to be displayed (in this case 'OM') is programmed in a uc (I have used an Atmel uc).
I can now display any message on my Propeller LED display!
Enjoy!
