My Perspective

My friend Sooraj (Wistler) and I have developed a simple game. We recently launched it on Android titled "Arithmagic". We also have a web version of this game. The game is played on a virtual board consisting of numbered squares arranged in a rectangular fashion (akin to a matrix) where the numbers for each square are randomly chosen single digits from 0 to 9.

My friend Sooraj Kumar and I have developed an android app for guided meditation and mindfulness http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wistler.dhyaan Our app is titled "Dhyaan" which stands for meditation in Sanskrit language. It consists of three sessions guided by an experienced Buddhist chaplain: first is the Body scan, followed by focus on Breath, finally Loving Kindness. For some folks silence can be distracting during meditation. So our app allows playing a background sound like sound of calm ocean waves, or a soothing rain, a lazy stream or even a soft meditative music. Hope you find our app useful. Please review the app and share widely.
