Our evolutionary road is marred with blood and decorated with some of the greatest innovations, discoveries and inventions.

Like most of the millennium kids, I too spent hundreds of hours into video games - from Roadrash to Call of Duty - with little to show for it in real life. In retrospection, I contemplate that what if there was a game wherein the more one plays, the better one gets in life. And as one levels up in life, the more rewards he gains in-game. Fast forward to today, you can see it the same - tons of “Productivity” apps on play store exist to make life easier, more productive and without compromising the fun part.
