I was trying really hard to improve the appearance and usability of my kannada keyboard. I tried using 3 screens instead of 2. Then I tried popup screen for diacritics (aakara, ikara etc). I tried different background. I tried looking into some source code to see if I can change background of special characters.
Yesterday I was in for a shock. I realized many phones like non-samsung phones will not render the language properly. If I type shabda, they will display
ಶಬ್ ದ . And if I type, shale, they display ಶ ಾ ಲ ೆ
Such a disappointment. Here I was dreaming about buying a car by placing this app as paid app. I could hardly buy a jatre car with this situation.
Then something in the upper floor where a brain must reside told me - MOVE ON. Yes, I should just finish this with some features and move on to next app.
So much for nishkama karma
Note : In Bhagawatgita, Lord Krishna told us " Karmanyeva adhikaraste, ma phalesh kadachana". So we are supposed to do our work, without any desire for its fruit. viz Nishkama Karma - work without any desire.
