Happening-ly One

After being out of the limelight for more than two months, Happening Babua was seen again today at a nearby chai shop witnessing the launch of Android One phones. But the important question which remains to be answered is ‘Where was he all this time?’.

 

It dates back to the the 7th of July when Happ’s personal transporter – The Dust Particle was confiscated by the Indian Government.  It was this unforgettable day which made Happ travel through a train and put tremendous mental pressure on him to devise a new mode of instantaneous real-time transportation which no one could confiscate in the future. This is what made him go into hiding and search for all kind of rubbish among the carcasses of cockroaches and lizards in his house. At last he came across an egg laid by his pet fish – Goldilocks. He took care of the egg for a month, while also focussing on his invention, till it hatched. A baby pigeon or squab, as it’s known as, slowly opened its eyes and surprise surprise! – the popcorn seeds nearby started popping soon enough and the baby ate those happily. It was as if it had superpowers. It had the eyeballs capable of emitting radio waves and lazers. This was perfect for a communication device for Happening. A perfect gift from his beloved Goldilocks.  However, it flew away after some days leaving Happ all alone in his quest to invent a transportation device. In his focus to invent the best possible device, he discontinued all of his outside communications and remained in his home.

 

When companies and government needed his help, Happ slipped into the sewage system of his building so that no one could find him. This is when Google decided that it needed to promote the launch of low-cost smartphones so that poor people like Happ could be contacted by the less-important-than-Happ people of the world and solve their issues. This was the basis of the Android One platform where Google saves the manufacturers their time and money by giving them a reference design, which they can use to make smartphones at lower costs. This is targeted at people who want to buy smartphones for the first time in their lives and have no bulgy wallet to do so.

After consulting Happ’s favourite top Indian mobile manufacturers, Google launched their phones today.

 

It’s yet to be seen whether Happ will buy any of these handsets or has come up with something breathtaking in the sewers of Bangalore.
