Just missed heaven.. Twice

Today, Saqi007 first showed us the path to heaven and then when he was about to take us there, decided to steer the wheel just enough that we missed to direct flight to heaven... (though I'm not sure if we gonna get direct flight or some connecting ones :D)

Now the exact details: today me, Saqi007 and Bhatti were traveling on RIV1800 to attend one of afridi's proud son and our colleague, Tahir Afridi (I doubt if anyone be proud of him besides himself or Suleman) On our way, we were going at high speed touching 80km/hour on single road, when suddenly out of no where (like in every Pakistani road) a steep road depression appears and for some reason, Saqi007 decided to steer car wheel to left where on road side, there wasn't any protection.. when we were about to loss control of car and take direct flight to heaven on Hazrat Israel's hands, he decided not to give us honor and corrected the mistake... RIV being a namak-halal car, responded, and with little skid, saved us from not lossing control and going off road in ditch..

The beauty of this trip wasn't that we missed the heavenly trip once but twice... both the time, brilliant Saqi007 tried and then failed to give me and Bhatti (you can not define Bhatti in simple words, he is nice and courageous fellow with a wonderful heart)

Ohh one more thing, if you plan to go to Terbella, please be sure that you gonna encounter speed breaker after every 5KM, so don't get frustrated.. and one more thing, no suicider can reach there as he gonna blew himself up on one of these speed breakers... :D

By the way, the best fish I've ever eaten is from a road-side hotel there... If you ever go there, do try their BBQ Fish.

Cloud Computing: what it is actually?

I wasn't actually sure what value "cloud computing" is to bring into IT services when we already have taken software to service level.. but there was always had the over-sight of buying a service but not using it, which means you're paying extra for something you're not using.. and this is where "Cloud Computing" comes in to save your bucks. So in other words: it is a service where you "Pay As You Grow".

A technical definition could be: Cloud computing is Internet- ("cloud-") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"). In concept, it is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. It typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.

Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online which are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers. These applications are broadly divided into the following categories:
- Software as a Service (SaaS),
- Utility Computing,
- Web Services,
- Platform as a Service (PaaS),
- Managed Service Providers (MSP),
- Service Commerce, and
- Internet Integration.

Here I would like to share one of the best explanation of "Cloud Computing" available over internet, do visit this video tutorial to understand what value this new idea of service can bring to reliable and cost-effective online services, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdBd14rjcs0 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFFApphXtk&feature=related
