People say some things happen for a reason...But I would say there is a reason behind every thing that happens and whatever happens, it happens for good. This makes me think that whatever you want or like to do sincerely, you should go for it without caring about the endless list of risks and social stigmas. At least then you would not blame someone else for what you are or what you land up in, be it success or failure. You will be responsible for your own actions and learn to create your own destiny if destiny forsakes you. Keep fighting and you will able to create a miracle and I am not joking, miracles do happen. And I will make a miracle happen !

"Love your hair and it loves you back"

How I wish I were

Without my hair

I can't even dream of it

But Dove gives me a look petite

And as I lay in my couch

Cutting open the shampoo pouch

Yes, Dove adds a special touch

With its nourishment

And the vitamin's enrichment

I love to flaunt my hair

Showing its flair

Now no more whines

Because it makes my hair smooth and shine

No hair falls, no dryness

I really thank you your highness :)

Just love this Song !!

Kisi ko sapna lagey tu, kisi ko behti hawa
Kisi ko bas baaton mein, kare pal mein yahan wahan
Kisi ke sau jhoot sun le, kisi ka sacch bhi ghunah
Kisi ka bas yaadon mein, kare hulchul saara jahaan
Te amo me te amo
Tu chaon hai, tu dhoop hai
Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaaron roop hai
Koi samja nahin, jo bhi hai bas khoob hai
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo
Tu chaon hai, tu dhoop hai
Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaaron roop hai

Kabhi lagey raaton mein main khwaabon se baatien karoon subha hogi
Khwaabon ko main kaabu karoon
Kabhi lagey taaron se bhi, unche udaane baroon
Kabhi lagey baadalon se jaibein baroon
Te amo me te amo
Taare ginnu tere liye
Te amo me te amo
Saare chunu tere liye
Khwaab saare bunu tere hi tere liye
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo
Taare ginnu tere liye
Te amo me te amo

Kabhi lagey mili nahin, tumse main khwaabon mein bhi
Kabhi lagey kahin toh hai ristha koi
Kabhi lagey choo tumhe, yunhi khayalon mein hi
Kabhi lagey nahin nahin chhori nahin
Te amo me te amo
Tu paas hai par door hai
Te amo me te amo
Jaata nahin yeh noor hai
Teri chhori bhi yeh manzoor manzoor hai
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo

Te amo me te amo
Jaata nahin yeh noor hai

Impact of Cloud Computing on Business

Centuries ago, people in one part of the world used magnetic tapes, recordings and letters to communicate with their near and dear ones in the other part of the world. But today Internet has brought each one closer through live video chats or instant mails at the click of the mouse. It is an era of the internet, e-books, social software, micro-blogging sites and the list is just endless. Frankly speaking internet is nothing but a cloud and the term "cloud computing" arises from that analogy. McKinsey says that clouds are hardware-based services offering compute, network and storage capacity, where hardware management is highly abstracted from the buyer and the buyers incur infrastructure costs as variable OPEX (operating expenditures) and infrastructure capacity is highly elastic(up or down).Let us take the example of large companies like Accenture which can afford to build and expand their own data centres but small to medium-sized companies often choose to house their IT infrastructure in someone else's facility.

Basically there are 3 types of cloud computing namely IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS(Platform as a Service) and SaaS(Software as a Service).In IaaS, cpu, grids, clusters, virtualized servers, memory, networks, storage and systems software are delivered as a service. The best know example is Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3).In PaaS, virtualized servers are provided on which users can run applications or develop new ones without having to worry about maintaining the operating systems, server hardware, load balancing or computing capacity. Well know examples include Microsoft's Azure, Salesforce's Force.com.Whereas SaaS is a software that is developed and hosted by SaaS vendor and which the end user accesses over the Internet. SaaS software is owned by the vendor and runs on the computers in the vendor's data center. Well know examples are Salesforce.com, Google's Gmail and Apps, instant messaging from AOL,Yahoo and Google,VOIP from Vonage and Skype.

The great advantage of Cloud Computing is elasticity which is the ability to add capacity or applications almost at a moment's notice. SaaS deployments usually take less time than in-house ones, upgrades are easier and users are always using the most recent version of the application. There will be fewer bugs because having one version of the software reduces complexity. This may all sound very appealing but there are many downsides too. In the cloud you may not have the kind of control you want over your data or the performance of your applications that you need, or the ability to audit or change the processes or policies under which the users must work. Cloud customers may risk losing data by having them locked into proprietary formats and may lose control of data because tools to see who is using them or who can view them are inadequate. In Oct 2009 1 million US users of the T-Mobile Sidekick mobile phone and emailing device lost data as a result of server failure at Danger, a company recently acquired by Microsoft. But Cloud Computing is not risky for every system. Potential users need to evaluate security measures such as firewalls and encryption techniques and make sure that they will have access to data and the software or source code if the service provider goes out of business.

Thus, I feel that clouds really make sense for many small and medium-sized businesses but technical, operational and financial hurdles will need to be overcome before clouds will be used extensively by large public and private enterprises. So rather than creating unrealizable expectations for "internal clouds", the CIOs should focus on the immediate benefits of virtualizing server storage, network operations and other critical building blocks. In the near future, we will soon witness whether Cloud Computing will reach to great heights or will it head for the trough of disillusionment.
