Ladies and Gentlemen, friends and foes I have finally done it…This is the defining moment of my life. I have crossed over to the world of Inventors….you are probably wondering: what?? What the hell have you invented? How dare you Master’s graduate make such a big claim…so before you get all hot and insecure…let me explain….
This did not come to me when an apple fell on my head or when I was flying a kite in the presence of lightning, this flash of brilliance came to me when I was laughing my backside off at the vintage Bengali comic –Bhanu …if the name does not ring a bell, he is a Bengali comedian from the golden era of Bengali cinema. Most Bengalis of my generation have heard his comedy tapes at some point of time in life. He has the “bangaal’ accent which is the style of Bengali spoken in Bangladesh which adds to the comic element. He has some refreshing perspectives on the social environment that most Bengalis live in.
Ok so enough gyaan what are joke tones? As the name suggests it is a 15-25 second audio clip in a Mp3 format that serves as a ringtone or it is the acoustic vibration that energizes the air particles to generate sensible audible sound within the human hearing range to alert the human owner of the wireless communication device that the human (hopefully!!) owner of another wireless device wants to communicate while creating laughter for the human owner of the wireless communication device. One could obviously diversify the product range by having a joke answer-tone similar to the old music that one listens to when you call one of the 1-800 numbers for support for those devices that highlight our modern day living style- buy as many machines so that you can fill up your spare time doing the maintenance of those machines that were bought to make life easier for you in the first place.
Ok apologize for the deviation but that’s how modern day life is deep and filled with complex variables with unknown outcomes and non quantifiable values. There I go again…
So as you can read that Joke tones are certainly no rocket science….I bet some of u will dispute my inventor status about this. I do really care about this as much as I would care about a rat’s back side.
The main advantage of joke –tones. If you pick the right one it will make you laugh every time you listen to it and put you in a good mood. Also gives you some show-off rights with your friends …but wait we are Indians!! we do not show off …it goes against the humility principle that is ingrained in our desi DNA …all right well at least it puts you in a good mood…
The disadvantage is that you will want to listen to the tone before you answer it, which might mean longer lead times for the caller who is waiting to talk to you and you will eventually get tired of listening to it …which fortunately has a simple fix change it to another good one… we have a big warehouse of comic clips on the world wide web…
So dear friends it is now time to explore and go beyond ringtones….this is it!! Go joke –tones…..
