“What
happened, dear sister? Why are you sitting alone? Is there something that is
troubling you?” My little cousin asked.
“I
want to make Delhi a better city, a smart city” I replied.
“From
tomorrow onwards, you should go to your office on cycle rather on car. There will
be less air pollution which will make Delhi a better place to live.” He laughed
aloud on his stupid joke.
“It
is not funny. And it not that simple.”
“Sis,
I can suggest you some of the positive ways to improve the city after all it is
our city.”
“Hotspot,
you are so sweet.”
“You
know sis, Vodafone has already done a lot to improve Delhi and NCR! Vodafone
has created the first air purifying bus shelter in the city so that we can
breathe in pollution free air while waiting for bus. Vodafone has also created
the first Wifi bus shelter in Gurgaon. It provides free Wifi to all customers
for 20 minutes. A milestone in digitizing Delhi and NCR!”
“Vodafone
is digitally connecting Delhi and NCR by providing free Wifi zones like
Airport, Khan Market, Delhi Haat, DLF Mall of India, Fortis Hospital etc.”
“All
over Delhi and NCR, Vodafone provides free Wifi at 120 places. Vodafone
receives one customer appreciation every 30 seconds.”
“There
are 1.2 crore Vodafone customers in Delhi and NCR which means half of Delhities
are using Vodafone. Vodafone is #CelebratingSuper.”
“Let
us make Vodafone choice of everybody in Delhi and NCR. I will suggest you some
ideas that whole Delhi and NCR will be talking about VODAFONE only and none
other mobile networking company.”
“How
is that possible?”
“Sis,
you are giving a big responsibility to a little child.” He winked and
continued. “Vodafone should target students as they can be Vodafone permanent
future customers.”
“You
mean to say both school and college students.”
He
nodded in a style and said, “Mobile library is the easy, quick and fast way to
do that.”
“Mobile
library, a moving vehicle with has books on varied topics which stop at
different places so that poor and underprivileged children can be benefitted
from it.”
“My
idea is that mobile library will have no books, no books at all. But it will have
free Wifi access for everyone. There can be some trained staff to encourage school
and college students to use Wifi to study more and to learn more. The students
should be motivated to utilise information in making projects, in solving their
problems related to Maths, Physics and other subjects. They should be
encouraged to get the detailed information about the topics they like to read
and to talk about more. All information should be just at the click of a
button.”
“If
they click the button leading to wrong or dirty information then....... I
mean..... you know.....”
“Such
sites can be blocked.” I was hesitant and he was confident.
“Free Wifi will help them in becoming more learned and
responsible citizens.”
“On
using free Wifi, they will know the importance of Vodafone Wifi, how useful and
beneficial it is for them. Then they will shift to paid services of Vodafone
which means more customers for Vodafone.”
“My
little business expert!”
“Vodafone
sign boards should be made on metro pillars by doing vertical gardening on
them. It will give clean air to us and more customers to Vodafone! The walls of
huge concrete buildings can be covered with vertical gardening. On huge roofs,
roof top gardening can be planned in such a way that an aerial view as seen on
Google maps imprints ‘Vodafone’.
“Vodafone is doing a great job but what we can do as
residents to make our city better.”
“As a kid, I can make a drawing of smart city.”
“God has blessed you with a beautiful hand and mind.”
“My parents motivate the people residing in our society
to use two-bin segregation system for garbage. Segregation is the first step of
waste management. Green dustbins are for disposing of wet waste which includes
waste from fruits and vegetables, cooked or uncooked food, leaves etc. and blue
dustbins are for disposing dry waste which includes paper, metal, plastic
products etc. It helps in segregating waste as they recycled differently. Wet
waste is organic whereas dry is not. Segregated recycling helps in cleaning the
environment quickly.”
“You know a lot about garbage management.”
“I learnt this on a Youtube video which I watch using
free Wifi at Delhi Airport while waiting for my flight to my grandparent’s
home.”
“Free Wifi zones will make people more intelligent and
aware.”
“For
that, metro stations and railway platforms should be free Wifi zones and all passengers
should be given free Vodafone oxygen bombs.”
“Aloe
vera growing in a plastic vessel with Vodafone printed on it. The plant requires
least maintenance as it can grow well in less water and plenty of sunlight. It
grows well in Delhi weather. It can be used as an ayurvedic medicine for
stomach and face.”
“Nah!
They should give tomato plants, as the plants will bear red tomatoes, similar in
color to Vodafone logo. Organic tomatoes will give fresh air and fruits to
Delhites.” He plucked a ripe tomato from the plant growing in the pot on the windowsill
of the room and gulped it down.
“Have you ever done anything to make Delhi and NCR a
better city to live?”
“Last Sunday we
went to a nearby slum area, it was stinking as garbage was scattered everywhere.
If Vodafone, starts a new scheme that no garbage zone will be
free Wifi zones then India will become garbage free overnight.” He smiled.
“What
if after getting the facility they again start polluting their surroundings.”
“Garbage
free, neat and clean colonies can be made free Wifi zones for specific period.
If they maintain the same level of cleanliness, then the facility can be
extended, else withdrawn. Persons residing in other colonies and societies will
be motivated to make their surrounding garbage free.”
“Garbage
free India will encourage more foreigners to visit India. They will give more
business to Vodafone while calling back home or while using internet to search
decent site seeing or a nice restaurant nearby or while booking a cab or while
making payments.”
“In my Diwali vacations, we went to a nearby village to educate farmers
how to improve their farming knowledge by teaching them how to watch Youtube
videos on the topics related to them. I showed them videos on how to prepare gobar
gas plant, how to use solar light to run tube-wells, how to generate
electricity from wind, how to make rain harvesting pits, how to use battery
operated vehicles, how to do organic farming, how to make vermicompost and how
to make more money. I didn’t teach them how to count more money.” He giggled.
“How
was the sewage system in the village?”
“My
father taught them how to prepare low cost disposable sewage systems and told
them about the links from where they can gather more information about it.”
“Vodafone
help start-ups during their incubation stage by giving them Vodafone products.”
I told.
“They
can give free Wifi for those who use toilets with closed doors.” There was
naughtiness in his voice as well as in his eyes.
“Hotspot!”
“Why do you call me Hotspot?”
“Because
I can access information from you free of cost any time with
just a click.” I lightly touch the tip of his nose with my index finger.
“I
tell you a secret that I didn’t like to eat spinach but now I have started
eating spinach like Popeye as I grow organic spinach in PVC pipes in my
balcony.”
“Let
us make a video to share this information with family, neighbours and friends.”
“Excellent
idea!”
“I
am unable to upload my video.”
“Sis,
first of all you shift to Vodafone leaving X, Y, Z companies behind!” He said
with a laugh.
