The technology tradition!!

The technology tradition!!

I had mentioned about my involvement rather participation in the mobile app development.

Ever since I experienced internet someday in the late 1990s, technology is always one of my active passions. I still remember that day, running up the stairs of Rosy Tower on Nungambakkam High Road (now called Mahatma Gandhi Road) and sitting before the computer. It was the Madras branch office of Microsense the reseller of internet connection for RPG Sprint. The first search the executive did was ‘rubber’ because MRF was a leading brand then seen very often in the media. Sanjay and Anand were with me and we were ogling at the screen.

From that day to the day I started a web application development company and now coordinating the development of a mobile application for Android and iPhone, my passion is growing exponentially. Technology never fails to enthrall me.

When Girish, the development team head, said that he has setup a team in Chennai for developing mobile applications we discussed on the focus verticals. Girish suggested we do one for our music sharing portal www.sangeethapriya.org. When we mooted this idea to our portal management team, they said it is too early for all these. Then Girish and I discussed various options and were adamant in developing one for Carnatic music or around it.

The discussion led us towards developing an app for musicians. The immediate choice was Sanjay Subrahmanyam. Why Sanjay? Because Sanjay was the 1^st Carnatic musician to have a website (he has closed it and now for the mobile app we have revived it). Sanjay was the 1^st to run a bulletin board for Carnatic music called sangeetham.com. Sanjay is very active in blogosphere, tweeting, et al. So, we have every reason to go to Sanjay.

Now how to contact Sanjay? I have not been interacting with Sanjay for well over 4 years. Reason could be that both of us were busy with our work. I know you all decline to believe it. Honestly, I don’t know why we didn’t. Anyway, I called Sanjay and asked him if we could meet. Believe me I went back 5 years. Yes, Sanjay was the same Sanjay I last spoke with 5 years ago.

I met Sanjay at his home. I didn’t beat around. When I told about developing a mobile app for him, he immediately agreed. Then I took Girish to Sanjay’s home. We discussed on the features, timeline etc.

Now the after almost 4 months the mobile app is ready for commercial launch. The Android version is ready and the iOS version is waiting for Apple’s approval.

Wait for a week and I shall share with you the screen shots and the download link.

Be connected with tradition, always, technologically!!
