Can we believe in Ramayanam? - Answered!

Came across a post on FB this, thought of posting it along with a translated version.
It always depends on the way you take it and believe it. Beautiful answer for a common question.
 
ఒరేయ్ మామా ...
రాముడు చెడుని గెలిచాడా?
లేక మంచిని గెలిపించాడా??
అసలు రామాయణాన్ని నమ్మాలంటావా??

" భలే సందేహాలొస్తాయిరా నీకు.. ఒక విషయం చెప్తా విను..

నీలోని చెడు " రావణుడు "
నీలోని మంచి " రాముడు "
నీలోని చెడుని , నీలోని మంచి నిజాయితీతో గెలిస్తే
...
నువ్వూ ఒక రామాయణం రాయొచ్చు ...

కాకపోతే మనిషి విషయంలో అది జరిగి కొన్ని కోట్ల సంవత్సరాలు అయింది.. అందుకే ఇప్పటికీ మనకి ఒక్క రాముడే ఉన్నాడు .. ఒకటే రామాయణం ఉంది ... అందుకే ఇప్పటికీ
మానవజాతికి రాముడే ఆదర్శప్రాయుడిగా ఉన్నాడు .. ఇక నమ్మడమా , నమ్మకపోవడమా అన్నది నీ ఇష్టం మరి ...

Ques:
Hey bro!
Did Rama win over Evil'ness? Or
Did he make Goodness to win??
... In fact, Can we believe Ramayanam?

Ans:
Bro! you always get peculiar doubts.. I'll tell you one thing, listen to me...

The badness in you is Ravana
The goodness in you is Rama
If the goodness in you wins over the badness in you
Then you can write one Ramayana too ...

However, it happened in a human's case only crores of years ago...That's the reason till date, we just have one Rama ... just one Ramayanam ... that remained as examples ... Coming to the point of believing it or not...it is up to you!

Looking back in life


Life?

[Quote in Telugu language - Translation]
You cry with your first breath
You Make people cry with your last breath
The time to spend smiling
between the two cries is called 'Life'

A TRUE HERO!!!


Dr. Abdul Kalam's experience shared on 7th Sep., 2012 -
"Yesterday, I inaugurated the 31st NIPM National Conference at Kochi where a number of HR managers, industrialists, academicians and students were present. There I met a special person who was given a special recognition amidst the gathering. His name is Shri Kochouseph Chittilappilly (in pic) and he is a well-known industrialist in the field of electrical equipment, construction and services in ...
the nation and the state. He has been amongst the highest taxpayers in the state and is also very active in the social service domain.
In 2011, in a touching gesture of giving, Mr. Chittilappilly donated his own kidney to an unknown ailing poor truck driver. This set in motion a unique movement called, “The Kidney Chain”, wherein a relative of one patient would donate to another patient, whose relative will in turn donate onwards and so on. Moreover, over 500 employees of his own company pledged to donate their organs after death.
What a great spirit of giving is exhibited by this self-made industrialist. Yesterday, when I saw the radiant smiling face of Mr. Chittilappilly, one thought immediately came to my mind – Giving makes you happy.
A true hero for the What Can I Give Mission"

Windows Server App Fabric introductory session by Charan Kawal Singh Bhatia @ AIS-IDC

Attended an introductory session on Windows Server App Fabric given by one of my new colleagues Charan Bhatia.

It was a useful one, with a candid introduction to the tool for someone like me, who never knew anything other than its name.

From what I remember and what I understood at a higher level, App Fabric is a monitoring tool that monitors the WCF web services hosted on IIS 7.x or above. The services should be built on .Net Framework 4.0. App Fabric was designed keeping in view its use for Azure.
The minimum pre-requisites include IIS 7.x, WAS, services built on .Net Framework 4.0.

There were some contructive questions as well, like,
How App Fabric differs from WCF trace and diagnostics utilities?
Answer: App Fabric has much more advanced features compared to the WCF trace and diagnostics. For example, Distributed Caching, etc., which will be dealt with in the next session on this Friday (11/02/2011)

Can we monitor classic web services (.asmx) in the same way as WCF through App Fabric?
This proved to eb a good question as Charan was really interested in researching on it and coming up with an answer soon.

Is there a way we can configure the App Fabric such that it only monitors a subset of the services deployed on the server?
Answer: Yes, of course. We have to decrease the level of monitoring to the least level (which means "Off") at the service level, for whichever services we don't want the it to monitor.

It was an interesting and useful session, evident fromt he way it was stretched almost unknowingly, from the scheduled 30 minutes to around 90 minutes.

The second part of the session is scheduled on this Friday (11/02/2011). This deals with, Distributed Caching through Windows Server App Fabric.
will update the proceedings once that is done.
