Idea submitted by my friend Mehdi. (Check him out, he is full of ideas)

- Sleeping booths in big cities

Because there are so many people living in the suburbs and partying in town, and they usually have to wait for the first train to get back to their home, sometimes against their will, or workers craving to take a nap but that cannot because there are not such places near their office.

- Wine & Shoes

Creating a high-range shoe store for men, where each pair of shoes purchased is sold inside a panier garni with a free bottle of wine.

- Pianocktail Bar

Boris Vian, in his book “l’écume des jours” was talking about a special piano that could create perfect cocktails when you were playing it. Looks like it already exists though.

- The Way Cup

You noticed the pun. The Way Cup would be the “Starbucks of the road” helping those tired drivers have a break and stay concentrated.

- Foursquare of the good deed

I have always been in fond of finding useful ways to contribute to society. People are more and more connected and social networks helped them create their status. Raising your whuffie through badges earned on a Foursquare-like social network dedicated to good deeds could be a nice way.

Taking those ideas, changing them and making them come true (or simply commenting) is highly recommended. Feel free!

Create a rotating back seat on Indian motorbikes so that women in sarees can sit comfortably.

Create a flagship McDonald’s restaurant in New Delhi, dedicated to foreign people and selling the most famous hamburgers with buffalo replacing cow meat.

Create a “United for India” charity tram in Berlin (like it has been made for Africa) to encourage innovative projects in villages, as well as making people discover Indian culture and its relation to sports.
