Thats-so-Raja !

Many of you (by that, I mean 2 people) have talked to me positively about the Part 2 . The rest of you have not violently objected to it either. So I take it that you are all absolutely mesmerized by my brilliance and the never-heard-of-before new wisdom. I have a feeling that Maams would start to interpret anything from me as a marriage proposal. And Kitcha would reaffirm that I am an irresistible dude - no matter how fat I become. Those of you reading me from WhatTheHeckistan or ClericKingdom are certainly admiring me to your goats. But seriously, my own conscious is biting me on my backside (ouch!!) that I have not said anything new. Now, as I am bumming and reading about the 'Mexican Washerwoman'… Ouch! Sorry, its biting me again. So let me start quickly. Yea, changing perspective changes one’s universe. That’s what Gandhi did to the masses, Clinton did to the Lewinsky, Steve Jobs doing to us etc. The (possible) new point here is that it will become harder and harder to c...

Universe dies when you die! Wait another 30 billion years! Nothing wrong with the universe! Wait! Will reboot solve all the problems? First ‘Plan’ & ‘Manage’ the reboot! Why even bother? if(!$aware->self()) {$this->upgrade(2012)} Cold turkey, phased approach… ---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x Hypothesis : Perspectives! Just the perspectives at the end of it all! Axiom 1 : I perceive! Thus my universe! Axiom 2 : : Reboot my perspective. Thereby my universe! ---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x Will get back to the serious stuff from part 1 in part 3. Before that, register your brilliant, deep thinking brain waves here !

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) ...

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 noise...

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 ...

There are many hilarious reasons for the Greek’s present debt crisis but this one is the jewel. The Government created a committee to manage Lake Kopais. The committee had been working sincerely ever since and earning their worth until now. Just that the lake had dried up and disappeared since 1930. The other tummy-ripping-funny story that comes close to that is from the Indian Administration. A particular state had a lot of sandal-wood trees in its forests that needed to be protected from smugglers. The rangers demanded horses for their surveillance. So a committee was formed to procure horses. These jokers swindled all the money and returned back with some ‘don’t-know-whats’ that come out of crossing horses and donkeys. The rangers found them only as useful as a rubber mouth on a wood-pecker and stopped using them. The brilliant committee did not even check for the genders and the animals started reproducing profusely. Thus the committee found its reason for existence - maintaining t...
