To federate or not to federate
Here I am again, up past the witching hour, splitting hairs and picking nits on another mundane technical issue. This time the question that vexes me is whether to federate the identity of the users from our partner or to keep the ids all safely captive in my own repository.  My federation architecture is flawless, even if I say so myself. I have t... more...

A walk in the clouds..
The winding road that leads you from Siliguri to Gangtok is the most picturesque one that I have ever come across. Grooves of tall eucalyptus greet you as soon as you leave the dusty plains of Bengal. A little further up the hills the ever beautiful Theesta river gurgles her exuberant welcome. She links her silken arm to yours promising to walk by ... more...

The Classification of Communists
IntroductionOf the many sub-human species that inhabit God’s Earth, one of the more curious group is a bunch that calls themselves Communists. This group lives in a state of contradictions and continuous confusion characterized by turns, about-turns, somersaults and somnambulism. Observations have thrown up the probability that they may have develo... more...

People who forget their culture lose a significant part of their identity. In many cases regional cultures are tied closely to the language spoken in that region. Thus it is always imperative that young boys and girls are imparted knowledge of local language and culture as part of their curriculum in schools. Having said that I am of the opinion as... more...

Flex Vs Ajax
Technology wars have a tendency of getting a little bit fanatical sometimes. I clearly remember the Unix vs Windows war, the OSI vs TCP war and many such wars that have unfolded before me and have even sucked me in as a foot soilder at times. To set the record straight, I was, am and will an Unix enthusiast until Windows becomes Open Source. (Yea, ... more...

Separation stands witness to true Love
True love is not measured just by how happy you are when together, but how gracefully you bear separation and how true you remain through it.Separation, Berahah, Judai, by whatever name you call it, has from early times been the stuff of soulful love ballads, geets and ghazals. Was it not Shelley who had so rightly said that “Our sweetest songs are... more...

Vanderlust
The memories of the early eighties in Itanagar still appear to me in a magical hue. Particularly the winter months. Itanagar was not as cold a place as was Shillong but invariably winter brought in its wake foggy mornings that turned our C-sector into a fairy land. The farm produce seemed extra crisp and tasty, and my brother and I got to wear the ... more...

Godspeed Benazir
In a world that grows dangerous by the day, the ability to stand for one's convictions and beliefs speaks highly of any politician. Benazir did that and payed a heavy price.
