Time is what we want most, but, what we use worst.- William Penn
The world is moving fast and we are constantly left wanting for time and finding out things that can be postponed or cancelled just because we run out of time in the day. They say every second counts and we considered this saying in the best of letter and spirit. We normally spend about 15-20 Minutes in-front of a mirror in our daily lives. We planned to make this time also productive and useful to the person using the Mirror. We are moving towards a world with smart things and appliances. In the proposed idea we present an Interactive smart mirror with various features to make sure that every minute of the user is utilized properly.  The smart mirror will be acting as a personal digital assistant providing day-to-day
schedule and appointments pulling the information from the user’s Google Account, it is also capable of displaying real time information such as live weather updates, local time of a particular location and also helps the person to get in touch with the current affairs happening around the world. It can also be implemented as a weight tracker which makes sure that a person is fit by tracking and displaying the user’s weight on a daily basis. Further, the mirror can also be used to control the lighting and window blinds in the room providing a single point of control for electrical things in the room.
