Indian IT future clouded or clouded?

Cloud computing has taken the world by a storm. Companies are moving swiftly to cloud platforms. Experts believe India will be benefited hugely by this shifting. They say India will readily jump into this new technology like we skipped the land-line generation and jumped into the mobile version. Cloud computing offers the flexibility and cost effectiveness of supplying what customer needs. We have mainly 3 services IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service), Saas (Software as a Service), and PaaS (Platform as a Service).

IaaS provide you with the infrastructure, in turn what you get is a computer/server.
PaaS provides you a platform i.e. what you get is an application/framework. As we all know Windows Azure is a platform as a service launched by Microsoft.
And SaaS the most popular one deals with giving you a business functionality like Gmail, CRM, etc.

India and the Cloud

One main problem checking "Indian cloud dream" is the penetration of Internet and the availability of electricity in many rural areas of India. Most of schools, libraries, small business in India wouldn't be able to take full advantage of this technology because of the above mentioned problems. But Indian Metros are another story, and they have already adopted it. Since cloud technology needs a continuous, uninterrupted Internet supply, it would easily gain popularity in metros. One big fish who already stepped into cloud platform is IYC(Indian Youth Congress). In India all the major IT firms provide cloud facility, TCS, Wipro, Infosys are some of them who mainly focused on SaaS, Zenith Infotech is a Mumbai based company which focus on IaaS, likewise Wolf Framework (Bengaluru), Orange Scape (Chennai) focuses on PaaS. Because of our poor IT infrastructure outside metros even giants like "Amazon" with its "Amazon Web Services" will think twice before they enter into Indian market as they stayed away from Indian online book market. Let us hope Indian IT future is not clouded but is in cloud.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such. Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t

Dream Catcher

Baby was cooing subtly while lying in her bed. Her eyelids are twitching quickly, and she seems fidgety. making tiny noises as though she's dreaming. Her tiny, chubby arms and legs are up in the air, perhaps grasping for something. "Don't worry, little one" a cool breeze swept the room, whispering softly to the baby. The dream-catcher that was hanging on the door began to cling to the wind. Baby's face is now serene. Her tiny legs and limbs are now at rest. She let out a small smile and a chuckle. She is enjoying her dream. She can hear dream-catcher singing to her. " Oh.. creator of this mighty universe, Please watch over her in your righteous way. Be with her now, and guard her smile for eons to come "
