I got a Personal Assistant…for free! You can too

Who hasn’t daydreamed about having someone to do the errands we all hate but can’t avoid? It’s boring, tedious and a waste of time. What if someone said you CAN have an assistant, that too for free! Seems too good to be true? Not anymore.

One lazy Friday evening while planning to leave office, even as I tried to drain as much of the free WiFi service as one possibly could, I came across an app – Haptik – Everyone’ Personal Assistant. The impatient procrastinator that I am, I took it for a spin to see how good it actually is.

1. You are grounded.
My balance is running out, and I have to prepare for the routine Saturday night blasting from home. STD rate-cutter, that’s what I need.

It’s pretty simple, really. Just choose your network operator…

Voila! I’ll get slammed at a discount this weekend! Moving right ahead.

2. Shed the flab
When your mother scolds you for your expanding waist line, what do you do? Join a gym.

Done!

3. The Girl!
Don’t dare miss a date. Ever. Have to take ‘her’ out for a movie. Somewhere nice and cosy. Romantic…ahem ahem! Book tickets. Now!

Mulling ahead!

4. ‘Do whatever you want’ = DO NOT!
What after the date? Dinner. Ummm…but good restaurants would be pre-booked over the weekend. Can reserve a table somewhere nice?

You bet!

5. Tidy up!
Scruffy hair and shaggy beard – definitely not the perfect recipe for romance. Salon. I need a salon!

Gotcha!

...and I felt love in the air!

In exactly an hour’s time I had cooled my mom’s nerves and set up a quintessential date. I look cool and am broke.

6. Last but not the least
Articles to write, income tax returns to file and work files piled up since infinity. With a jumpy boss and Monday round the corner…the last thing to do, really.
