Look who’s a millionaire !
Ladies and Gentleman, we are proud to announce that on 29th December 2008 – the one millionth image was uploaded on itasveer.com. We are incredibly grateful to you guys for helping us reach this milestone.
So what kept us from updating this space and sharing our happiness with you? Lest you think we are lazy, actually we were thinking up ideas on how we can play around with the figure to make sense of it.
After all, 1 million may not seem like a huge number in this age of gigabytes and terabytes. But nevertheless, we are patting ourselves on the back for this achievement. In case you are wondering how much 1 million photos are, let us put that into perspective -
1. If all these 1 million photos were printed on 5×7 prints and laid side to side, they will form a line of prints 177.8 km long. That’s about the distance between Delhi to Agra if the road were a straight line.
2. Stack ‘em up in our albums of 80 photos each and you’ll need a medium sized truck to carry all those photo albums.
3. If these were not the digital times, all those photos would have needed about 27,700 film rolls to snap!
4. If a collage were to be made out of these photos, with each being on an average about 4×6 in size, it would cover 152 meters * 102 meters. That is about 30 Olympic sized swimming pools in size. Thats larger than a big football stadium.
5. If these images were made into a motion picture with each frame being taken by each image, the movie would last about 12 hrs – Karan Johar fans rejoice!
My imagination kind of runs out now. So drop in with a comment if you think of a cool idea to represent a million!
Also, belated though it might be, it is very heartfelt – we wish you a really rocking new year ahead.
We promise to make it more interesting with new ideas and products at itasveer, and, of course loads of great deals. In case you missed our new year offer on calendars, do not fret, our Valentine’s Day offer is on – Avail free shipping on photo products till the 20th of Feb (Coupon Code: VDAYSHIP).
Afterthought: Any one who comes up with a slumdog millionaire pun here gets a cool discount. We thought and thought, but nothing seems to rhyme!
