Nikhil Dwivedi is all set to travel to Sri Lanka to host the green carpet at the IIFA awards. The actor is making sure that he carries his Kindle (a gadget) with him. What's a Kindle? Nikhil tells CS about it and his passion for technology: <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/jun/Nikhil.jpg" border="5" /> Techno freak Technology has always fascinated me. Actually, I come from a middle class family and we couldn't really afford to buy all the fancy gizmos that would come in the market. In fact, we became the proud owners of a colour television and a VCD quite late in life. As a result, I grew up to be fascinated with gadgets in general. I remember my dad telling me about escalators. I was enthralled by the idea of steps going up and down. I went with him to the Air India building to check out how it works. As late as 1995, there were only three escalators in Mumbaiu00a0-- one in the Air India building, one in the World Trade Centre and one in the shopping arcade in Oberoi Hotel. All that money can buy Once I started earning, I started investing in gadgets and today own quite a lot of them. My most prized possession is my home theatre as it really is state-of-the-art. But what many don't know is that I have a fetish for medical innovations too. I have to buy the latest thermometers available in the market. The newest addition being a sensory thermometer that you have to insert in your ear and you get the result in four seconds flat! Reader friendly Kindle is a gadget on which you can download reading material. It allows you to change pages and bookmark like you would physically. Since I read a lot, this is extremely useful. Now I don't have to carry all my thick novels with me on my travels. I just download the book on my Kindle. I even download important documents and read them at my will. Updates Recently, I bought a Blackberry 9700 model. Next on my wishlist is an iPad as it is a one-up on the Kindle!
