We were very happy with his school -RumiKids. More than us, he was very happy. He had friends, he went for a trip to a train museum and learnt some rhymes. I was particularly happy that this school was only a play school and hence we don’t have to worry about him being pushed around by fatso boys. I get scared when I see some of the fatsos here.

Yesterday we got a call from the school principal that they are shutting down the school. She informs that the parent company, in Singapore, decided to shutdown and the news is shock even to the teachers there.

It is not a great news for the weekend.

Today I submitted BlogEasy to AppStore. I have set a price of $4.99. As per the available information, it will take about 6 days for the approval, assuming there are no issues with the app submission. So crossing my fingers and waiting.

Summer starts here in delhi and that means power cuts & water shortages. Water was stopped in the morning & as I type there is no electrical power.

Summer means more Mosquitos too.

As they say, only delhi summer will make you long for delhi winter.

I have always wanted to build a mobile app. In fact when I got a palm pilot way back in 2000, I got into developing apps for it. But I never managed to get past a simple ‘hello world’ program.

Once I got BlogEasy developed and put on the AppStore I had an idea to develop the same for iOS. That got additional motivation when I went for Christmas vacation to Tuticorin. I didn’t take my laptop; I had carried only he iPad. I couldn’t blog because I didn’t have an app on iPad.

Once I came back I went full swing into this. I would listen daily to the application development lectures of a Stanford professor, and read books & articles. Then slowly I started developing the app.

In the mean time work took an ugly turn (that’s a big story and its for another time). That delayed the development quite considerably.

Long story short, I am typing this blog post from my own iOS app, BlogEasy. This is only a testing phase. So lot of rough edges still. But in a week, I should be able to get this production ready.

BlogEasy has sold 18 copies! am happy about it.

All my time after & prior work is consumed in building BlogEasy & promoting it. There are days in which it is frustrating but mostly the pleasure of having my apps on the App Store drives me forward.

Tomorrow I’m going to IIT Bombay for a preliminary meeting with Prof Deepak Phatak ( who lists ‘giving unsolicited advice to unsuspecting individuals and groups’ as a hobby) regarding selection of transition partner for the next version of the project that I’m working with (MCA21 v2).

I still pinch myself. I can’t believe the heights that I am scaling to. Gives me a humbling feeling especially since I know there are many more eligible people for this task than me.

I have written a blog editor for mac os x and I’m posting this from that app. (eating one’s own dog food 🙂 ). It is close to launch. I am still looking for a commerce store and hosting provider to host the app. Hopefully all goes well and I will join the club of independent developers.
