Help required please!!!

Hi everyone,
     A big hello from my side.  I'm new to embedded systems. But as
i'm very interested to work in embedded systems, I have decided to do
a project in 8051 Microcontroller using Keil C compiler. Can anyone
please help me in suggesting me a simple yet impressive project which
i could do with the above mentioned software and hardware.

Thanks,
