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...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
