The Wake Up Call

Life is too precious to be a joke; learn to live it to fullest and enjoy every moment and make them count.
While the world was busy joking and enjoying, working their souls out, sleeping with their face down, some parts of the world was taken aback by a horrifying earthquake. People of Kathmandu and few other cities in India, Nepal and Bangladesh ware left shaking, shocked and scared due to 6.8 scale Earthquake for 1 and half minutes. It again proved the fact that life is unpredictable; anything can strike at any moment and we must be prepared for it.

People died, got injured and scared in the event. There were screams, all the signs of fear never seen, tears and the fear of death. It was a call, a wake up call showing how precious life is for everyone. The most scariest moment of life must be to see death ahead and still be able to do nothing. I now think, all the love we run after, all the money, pride... what are they? They are just  a phase in life which can be recovered. I was shocked and scared myself upon reading the tweets about #Sept18quake. I started messaging and calling my dear ones, I came online to talk with people. I forgot all the love, enemity, hatred at that moment, all I could think was of people I knew whoever they were. I can only imagine how people who faced the quake are feeling. The scariest 2 minutes of life, where you must have feared for life. Honestly, If you weren't scared during it, You'll never be scared about anything!
Still I saw few people joking, creating fan pages about the event. I don't know why the world is becoming such a show off. Its not a cool event that had happened, people lost life, and their thoughts. Facebook like page. "18 September 2011. I Survived the earthquake", seriously? what has happened to the world? Atleast respect people who lost something, and who is to say that next quake can't be around the corner? Its better if you google safety measures and practise it rather than creating a silly pages, which can hamper people emotionally. People out of Nepal were scared like a shit cause they couldn't contact home... well most of em. People take it seriously, you havent won an award by surviving the quake and it isn't cool to have faced the quake. So don't just "Shake it", open your eyes and see how unpredictable life is. Live the best of it. Prepare yourself and take the events seriously.

Come on people, it doesn't matter how cool you are; just be true to yourself. Don't loose your self respect trying to act cool. Instead, learn to respect yourself and who you are. It was a wake up call, that we need to be prepared to face calamities and have faith in oneself. The place is our home, and we don't know how long we'll live in it. So, why be a faker and hurt people, break their feelings. Learn to respect life, learn to respect others and value people around you. Instead of wasting time trying to create something cool about the event and enjoy 2000+ likes Google what to do during earthquake. Be ready, Be safe People...
A hearty condolence to people who lost their life in the quake....

A notice for all

Finding myself in this world.........

I was born in 1990 as a second child to my parents. I believe I was lucky enough to have parents that gave me freedom to move around and enjoy the life, thus enabling me to develop myself and my thoughts. I always believed a person free to move around his path can be of some use, than a person who is trained to be something. I did move on to my life, made mistakes and even failed; but I was moving on after each failiure taking it as a lesson and experience to be someone I wanted to be.


I always loved the dark side of life, I loved being alone circulating around things I love. I was never afraid of lonliness, and I always wanted it, loved it and lived it. I was a person who never cared to see if I had someone waiting for me or not. I think I just lost myself there.......... I am nowhere in this world, The normal things around seems so complicated to me. I wish I had lived my life better. I look around the world, freely chattin and doing free things and look at my inability to do those things. I ask myself why I can't just be as free and actually normal.... Why can't I just do most of normal things in life???? I feel I could have lived my life better in childhood........


I look at myself now and realize my mind is laughing at me because I am just a no one in this world and sadly I have lost my world..... Am hanging alone in a space where I can see people moving on; but hardly anyone can see me.... I want to feel normal and freely fly with people, BUT no matter how hard I try I cannot just do those things. While in group, I can only laugh at what others say, I hardly could speak to my parents and my sis... I did nothing except reply or irritate them. However I can speak when a certain situation arises or a topic arises and when I need to.....on certain aspects I am interested in, or when someone needs me!!!!!!!


I dont know how I can escape from these things in life and enjoy what others enjoy. Give people what they expect regularly, atleast.......... I put effort to just be myself and try to mix with others, but I know its a useless try and I never succeeded........ I look around myself and see people..... but I find myself blocked by certain nerdy things and they cant see anything that there is a person with certain dead emotion staying just to be touched or waved at or smiled at.......


I never found any static place for myself in this world. I want to realize who am I? I want to find a spot where I can mix and actually feel am in this world..... Why is it so difficult......... I can say I always end p finding myself in a deep hole full of pictures of people enjoying....... I wish to........ but I know they are just a picture and they dont need me until they fall from the wall and I get the responsibility of hanging them........ thats the only time I get close... after hanging am again in the same state of finding myself staring at em.... while they just cant see me!!!!!!!!!!!!


HELLO TO THIS WORLD

Cloud Computing - The Future???

The end of ‘Fashion-IT’?? – customers will only pay for value and not technology.


Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). IT is basically a concept of letting your ideas float in a server rather than on business apps, making it more faster, highly customizable and well upgradable. It provides data access, computation and storage without the need of physical location. All the applications run on a shared data center and also provides dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. So you get to use the applications via internet, which can be accessed from a web browser, while the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location
Usually, when you open a business, you need softwares, power, bandwith and such other things. You also need a team of trained IT experts to run and manage them. Upgrading, maintaining, testing the softwares becomes a painful task. Compare that to cloud computing which provides a new way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. It is fast to get started and also economical. It is flexible and follows pay for what you use. You can customize the packages you need. Thats the power of Cloud Computing; and its changing the way we think about softwares.

There are all kinds of apps running on cloud, consumer, business apps and even custom apps. It is more reliable and secure; as it doesnt have separate apps for each business thats using it. Its one app that everyone shares, but its highly flexible for every business to customize as per their needs. The new features and updates are automatically installed, so it provides easy upgrades and maintenance.
It has gained lots of popularity in the world. Basically the concept here is applications and storage are web based. So, you don't save file on hard drive and don't access them on computer; its all stored online and its gonna be there no matter what computer you are from. This increases portability and allows easy sharing across networks.

However there is a downside to cloud computing. You don't know where your data are stored, and how it might be used. Everything depends upon faith that your data will be kept safe and won't be used in a criminal way. Also there is a possibility that a service could crash or go out of business, leaving users with limited or no access to their data. It also doesn't allow the users to control the environment like they want. So you cannnot schedule your backups and use it like a personal computer. The other issue that might effect people is when the cloud computing server goes down. What happens if you can't access your file for a day, it might impact the business. We have seen Google Apps go down in countries. Also the cloud server can be in any country and each country have different rules and regulation about data security. Finally another question to be asked is can we migrate current business conviniently with all the datas and who will be the owner?

Thus, Cloud Computing is a neat concept of computing. It has lots of advantages, high storage on servers, easy upgradability and maintenance. Its easier to share and work on documents as it can be accessed from any computers, but there are some security and EULA issues to be considered while signing up for the service. It will certainly provide more effective way to run business, and focus more on services. So there is no reason to give up on Cloud Computing, we should promote it.

The cloud is for everyone. The cloud is a democracy. However beware of false cloud.
