Reboot the Universe - Part 1

Let me warn you first. This is going to be a damn serious reading.

I have access to a certain secret button. The button that reboots the Universe!

At this point, if you are my wife or anyone else that doesn’t take me seriously, you better quit reading. If you are chatty Praful, naughty Babul, genius-explored Thakkali, genius-unexplored Hendry I, genius-recently-explored Henry A, Hilarious K, Cy - a big Welcome! If you are a stranger here, you have beaten an odd of 2,317,563,890,001 : 1 in hitting an intelligent blog. Congrats! If you are me, you are really sexy, sensational, cool, etc etc and btw finish writing this fast.

It all started when she settled in the Starbucks at 11AM, Latitude14° 35’ N and Longitude 120° 57E. It was a working day. Hush, don’t ask. She is random. Dazzlingly random. And she needs to be in random places to get into her genius moments. But that crumby place was so noisy that she had to plead God’s help. Then she suddenly realized (or over heard from the noises across?) that everyone in the universe has the same set of problems! And she whined, “Whats wrong with the Universe”. I was washing the dishes on that same working day at 11.10AM, Latitude 1°, 14E and Longitude 103°, 55E. Hush, I am random too. And I do things too to get into my genius moments.

I heard her. First of all everybody is facing problems. Thats bad enough. And its the same set of problems? Thats boring enough. So I offered to help – "Do you want me to reboot the universe"? Who can resist that?

Wait, I feel like a nap. Too much oily food over lunch. Yaaawwwwwww……

Back again. Yes, about rebooting the universe! Here is the truth in some details. My access to the button is not direct. But my earlier statement is still technically correct. I know the Master of the universe. ( No, S. Its not you! ) She knows where the button is. And she is not in Vogsphere or some unknown planet on the edge of the universe. She lives on this very earth. Are you surprised? Well, I guess she is random too. Do I have to cross 7 dark matter mountains, 7 seas, kick the prime-minister's cat and pee on president’s cactus to get to her? Nope. This is the age of communications! She is just a telepathy call away...

Will continue in the next post. It will get even more serious.

    I am not the Master of the Universe? Dang! how random is that?! :)

    But wait, what guarantee do you have that rebooting the universe will present us with a different set of problems? Or, better still, no problems? If the universe runs on Windows, God help us all!

    the reason i commented on facebook that there is no compelling reason to reboot the universe is this: if you are going to liken the universe to a server, there is no error with the server actually. but if the user is dumb then the server will not function well for reasons such as 1. did not maintain well, 2. do not know how to use and 3. does not acknowledge his lack of knowhow ;p so the universe in itself is actually working in a rhythm, its us humans thats causing all these problems

    @Queen : I like that thinking. Nothing ever is wrong with the mainframes :))

The Stunts for Attention

Some little distraction here before we get on with rebooting the universe. I heard some comments about the writing style of that post (Reboot the Universe - part 1) from various channels. The notable one came from Dhaks, universally recognized as Maams. He said, “hmm...u were alright when I met you last... ”. The genius-unexplored Henry was seconding Maams that “its the usual (weird?) Raja” . Hahhaha. Well, my sanity seems to have left with you Maams. Hereafter, please don’t leave me and go! (Nah, this is not a marriage proposal by any means :P). But honestly, I had my serious doubts about how that style would be received. Actually, I don’t have any fixed style of writing. Nor themes or subject matters. I deliberately keep it that way. In acting, there is such a thing called ‘method acting’. I gathered that its where the characters prevailing above and over the identity or the mannerisms of the actor himself. Daniel Day Lewis! Check him out in IMDB and compare (his real looks with) ...

Reboot the Universe - Final

It started here Little Trisha has 2 things that I like in her. One - she loves reading. Just that her books have rats as the heroes. Duh!! I have been asking her to grow up. Second - she is random. Radiantly random. This was the recent random thing we did together. That day, she influenced me to a soya milk from the Jolly-Bean’s. Now, soya milk can be boring as sewage. So to give it a bang, they add these ‘chewy pearls’ to it. For the uninitiated, chewy pearls are tiny sweet balls, made using tapioca and dropped lovingly into your drink. If you ever crave to nibble and bite into a soft human body part, you shall try the chewy pearls. So we walked out, bought our cups and started drinking. Baby : Jokes time, Daddy! Daddy : Okay…. Where would a bored cow go? Baby : Where? Daddy : Moooooovie, of course! Ouch!! She giggled at that and got chocked with a chewy pearl. And in a short struggle, she managed to shoot it out of her throat onto the floor. First we thought of cleaning it up. But t...

(Some(what)) Clear Thinking on a Cloudy Thing.

Me and Ajay brainstormed on the dynamics of an ultimate cloud computing environment. And I extracted our ideas into this (cartoon) context diagram. We are dealing with daunting levels of complexity in this area today. So ‘Abstraction’ becomes the key with which we approached this subject. An ever expanding box with a dashboard and a toilet man are the subtle(?) visual cues that convey the abstraction and ease of use. The levels of technological maturity as we expect here are not available today. This is the ‘FUTURE’. A Nirvana in Cloud Computing. And it speaks thus: The Cloud is the new operating system. Elastically growing and shrinking hardware are achieved already. The Cloud Management platform will maintain an inventory of the hardware capability - updating it as the hardware had been consumed and released. We will not deal at the application servers, BPM engines, databases level anymore. The tools will not matter. ‘DIY Blocks’ here refers to a catalog of pre-built ensembles that ...
