Google a best product

I'm in the process of finding the best combination of shampoo and conditioner. Google helps me to compare how my papaya extract conditioner interacts with my new aloe-based shampoo while I’m trying the mixture out.

Track your friends and family

I keep my tracker on all the time to keep tabs on where my parents are, so I can prepare myself for any surprise visits.

Reception is better in the shower

There must be a scientific reason why the combination of hot steam, marble tiles and candles generates a stronger radio wave.

Clients have impeccable timing

As soon as I step into the shower, I hear the ominous email beep and as the shampoo runs into my eyes, I can tell there’s a client on the verge of a crisis.

ATS – Angry Tub Syndrome

As you relax, it’s great to vent your frustrations. It’s the perfect opportunity to send out hate mail!

Seamless integration

It’s all about saving time. The time it takes to browse a restaurant menu, decide what I want, place an order and wait for the food, while I take a long relaxing bath. So why not do both?

Inspiration strikes at awkward times

When it does, you don’t want to lose the thought. You want to share it on Twitter immediately, because that’s how geniuses are. We’re a little eccentric!

Because of my relationship with Facebook

Despite months of resistance, I’m back to being hooked on Facebook! Thank goodness for BlackBerry’s FB application – connected anytime, anywhere!

George Clooney might call

I met George at the Dubai Film Festival two years ago – a great guy and we exchanged numbers and email IDs. However, the number he gave me is disconnected and he’s always out of the office. He must have forgotten a digit or something. Anyway, he promised to stay in touch… and I wouldn’t want to miss George Clooney's call.

I’m a BBaholic (Or BlackBerryholic): That says it all.
