When I arrived at the hotel with my wife, they asked for a copy of my marriage certificate to prove that the woman with me is really my wife (this is a must in my country). If I didn't have proof, my wife and I would have to stay in separate rooms (not good). We’re not allowed to meet in any room at the hotel alone, and it would be silly to spend the whole night alone. Moreover, I didn’t want to pay for another room.

I turned it into a huge issue with the hotel staff, but they didn’t back down. I had gotten quite angry when my wife asked me to simply call a colleague at work, give him my password to access the PC, print out my marriage certificate and fax it to me. That’s when I remembered SoonR, so I accessed my PC, got a copy of my marriage certificate and gave it to the hotel.

D-day arrived and I set out for the office with my heart in my mouth. The test went rather well with me showcasing my skills in Photoshop, Corel Draw, 3-D Max and Maya. I was disappointed to note, however, that the other candidates were just as good, if not better.

Proceeding to the interview, I was surprised to find that the conference room contained the MD, HR manager and senior project managers. I gathered how serious they were about selecting the right candidate for the job.

The interview started off without much frivolousness as we discussed my past works and the kind of animation I did.

Then came the killer question, the MD asked me, "Mr. Kumar you have done rather well in your skill test, but tell me why you think you are the right person for the job.”

I froze... my mind was speeding... what answer could I give that could set me apart from five other equally good candidates????

"I am the best you can get," I replied. "And I can prove it to you. Please give me a minute, I can show you."

My sister had started a SoonR account on our home PC a few days ago. Without much thought to it I had simply shared all my most important folders through SoonR.

It was like magic. They got the LCD on, and within a moment, they were watching my best work on the screen. Everything shown had a story to tell: My college dropout days, my first project, the passion behind every pixel of my landscapes....

They sat spellbound through the session. By the end, looking at their faces, I knew it was a done deal.

The MD was grinning when he said, "Mr. Kumar you are rather up to date with today’s technology."

I told them about Soonr and the services it offered. It was a treat to watch their incredulous faces when I showed them how to access a system through the mobile UI with SoonR.

Needless to say, I got the 50K job thanks to SoonR. I can’t believe that technology could bring me this much luck!

I send an e-mail to my work account with all the info so that I can check-in four hours before my flight leaves. When I arrive at work I realize that the e-mail has been blocked by our spam server.  No login, no password, no website, no hope of getting on that plane. But wait, can’t I access my e-mail from Soonr?  

My boss had asked me to get him photos of my recent trek to the mountains. He was planning a similar one during his annual leave. So I spent one evening transferring the photos to my pen drive, and put the drive on my bag to avoid any morning memory lapses.

Next day was busy with client meetings. We were working really late, when my boss said – 'Let’s see your adventure photographs; that should be a good way to wrap-up this long day. Meet me in 15 minutes.'

I grabbed my bag and tried to locate my pen drive, but it was not to be found. I called my and wife and found she had put the pen drive in the cupboard so it wouldn’t get damaged. I was dumb stuck – what was I going to do? After a few minutes, I remembered SoonR! Maybe I could still make this turn out okay.

Back to my boss -- 'So where's your pen drive,' he asked me, unable to control his impatience. 'Well, the pics are on your laptop, I just need to show you,' I replied in equal impatience. 'Hey man, I don't want the flickr view, I want to see your 8 mega-pixel pics,' he warned, pre-empting that I was up to something smart.

In a few seconds, I was into SoonR, and there were my photos. It was difficult to know which one of us was more excited.

Within the next 15 minutes, I had convinced my boss that the vacation was a deal. His mood was upbeat while I'm sure he was wondering how I was getting those pics in their 'real beauty' on the screen. I decided to demonstrate how he could access the pics using his Razr mobile phone. It worked like a charm. And then came the much awaited words, 'By the way- why don't you confirm your participation for that training in Italy you mentioned. I think it will help you learn the new technology.'

Anyway, I was on the road for my vacation and I received a call that one of the websites I manage was down. I needed to call my host ASAP and let them know to look into my server or reboot if necessary. Luckily, I was able to sign in to my SoonR account and lookup an email from my host which contained their number. I got the number from an old email, selected SoonR’s Skype Talk option and was able to contact my host!

It was sweet and amazingly easy!

The meeting went from an embarrassing sales moment to one where the client was impressed with the technology.
