"VASUDHAEVA KUTUMBAKAM"

"You are Divine. You are part of me. I am part of you."

"Choice is yours, blessing is mine."

"Karma is in the mind, the soul is free from all karma."

"Sometimes on a dark night if there is lightning, that second you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even for a few moments. Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation."

The GURU Of JOY

When we think about events, events become so big for us...the Existence loses its significance. When Existence becomes dominant in our awareness, events lose their value and significance. Events bring you small joy; EXISTENCE brings you the bliss. Events cause pain and suffering, but Existence can only bring joy and bliss and truth.
- SRI SRI

"Let the love be...! Don't Give it any Name...When you Give it name it becomes Relationship..And Relationship brings Restrictions...!"

"Your concept in the mind that things should be a certain way causes pain in the mind. Thecause of distres is set concepts in the mind."

"All the spiritual practices we do are just to recognize this love, not to gain this love. The love is there already."

Mere Sundar Nand Mukunda

Celebrating Life
LIFE IS SACRED

"WHEN INTELLIGENCE AND INNOCENCE GO TOGETHER, A PROFOUND BEAUTY DAWNS."

"SPIRITUAL Life means having fun, being really HAPPY- smile from the core of your heart."

"When a man wants to murder a tiger, he calls it sport, when the tiger wants to murder him, he calls it ferocity. The distinction between crime and justice is no greater." (-G.B.Shaw)

Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names. -a Japanese proverb

How do you want to leave your name, o' drunken poacher and o' lame spectator. . . . .

EyE OF THE TIGER

William Blake...

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I dug this. . .open your eyes, our responsibilities are more than just to our immediate families or to our voting rights. . .its more than that. . .

Anyone reading my blog now, I expect you shall read the next two links, and I have a question...whats the common underlying link. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Prehistoric 'Sea Monster' found on Arctic Island http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,314964,00.html

Does this look exciting. . . . .to be honest, it looks like the silence before a storm to me. . . .we, humans have less to fear from a stray asteroid annihiliation, and have more real reasons that we can be the annihiliators of our own selves. . .power when unchannelised, is destructive. . . .thats Nature's way of renewing everything...we have evolved, but not against Nature. . .these news discoveries of lost mummies and unique dinosaur fossils...all are in fact mocking pictures. .I see these pictures mocking us, reminding us, that we are coming full circle to a bigger destruction of "OUR" PLANET than has happened ever.

"The human race's prospects of survival were considerably better when we were defenseless against tigers than they are today when we have become defenseless against ourselves." (-ArnoldTonybee)

Do you see, we are too intelligent. . .against our own good?!! Short term greed, gratification of our senses, hunger for power ("We have, I fear, confused power with greatness." -Stewart Udall), short sightedness. . .have undermined our greater priorities. . .

RUBY is the latest bling bling in technology !

Hello everyone....heard of the latest buzz called Ruby ...? No? You wudnt have heard of it, if you r one of those guys/gals at one of those standard Companies who dont want to take innovative risks, and you probably are happy with the seemingly stable and "SAFE" career platforms..."safe" , because you think its worthwhile from a career perspective to sit on a huge pool of resources and support community that centers around only .NET or J2EE or yadda yadda yadda....and so YOU ARE IN A COMFORT ZONE ! B.U.T. unknowingly YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE ICE BERG TO MELT.....isnt it ? well try this now...its "bling bling" (a hip word among the youth for glittering accessories) among the technology enthusiasts ....its called RUBY....its relatively new, but stable enough to have set a lot of technical enterpreneurs interested...

RUBY is a dynamic (interpreted), open source programming (scripting) language WITH A FOCUS ON convention over messy configuration, Its elegant syntax attributes to its simplicity and productivity(ITS LIGHTWEIGHT !!)in object-oriented programming.

This should giv yu a hang of it (for now)
http://www2.ruby-lang.org/en/20020101.html

NOW wats Ruby On Rails (or RoR).....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...its a "full-stack"(meaning it provides "Convention over configuration" and "Dont Repeat Yourself" features, on both Client-as-well-as-Server side features(!!), and leads the race among next-genre of web app frameworks ...highlighting features such as "scaffolding", "object-relational mapping" and simple installation. The FULL STACK means that it supports an "MVC" (Model-View-Controller) architecture [yep! :-)]...back to track...RoR is a "full stack" web application famework , written in Ruby (bling! bling!).

It aims to increase the speed and ease with which database-driven web sites can be created, and offers skeleton code frameworks (scaffolding) from the outset.

Ruby involves very little mental overhead...so programmers tend to be HAPPY PROGRAMMERS ! and bling! bling! too ;)

Some SW Companies tend to stay safe , means they are legacy..like teh Hanging Gradens of Babylon (implies, --> its now available only in pictures..yu c d point ?)...which donot wish to exploit (sorry bad word, but kinda fits in wen lean mean business is in play (the only exception I can currently think of, is http://www.sumerusoftwaresolutions.com, Technologists with Conscience at VASUDHA EVA KUTUMBAKAM :) ) the best of new potential technology, because there is a disconnect among the bushy-bearded dodge-ball enthusiast managers towards any new technology (not that Ruby is new) ....and also that, among programmers and developers there is this "opinion" ("popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world." - Thomas Carlyle) that development is done only for developments sake so that their careers are (SEEMINGLY) safe ...but for technologists who have a vision beyond sight, who wish to do "smart work" (by smart work I mean those who wish to use newer technologies, not the "copy-paste" jobs that SW Engineers do) it boils down to the bling bling technologies like RoR (You-Know-Who), where you are "heard" and "seen" and yur contributions add value to a FUN, LIGHT WEIGHT, and SMART programming community around the "flat" globe.

Give it a try...its a productive and a healthy addiction! I have already dived into the tutorials and I feel its worth the try with RUBY !
