A very good article on enterprise-architechture, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb466232.aspx

Just thought of posting it here also in case in future it helps somebody. The result was WL-23 and I was sure that it will convert and so it was. However didn't join the course due to several reasons - placement stats was not clear an was not sure whether ROI was justified. But again it was also true that this was the best opportunity to learn which I had given away. Not sure whether this decsion of not joining will haunt me always. ********************************************************************************* At last My Intv experience!! It is pending for long, so finishing in haste before I go to sleep, please forgive me for the delay. ((btw.. I am an extraordinarily ordinary IT 7+, starting from secondary to GMAT, only good thing is a lot of awards for my EC). Three professors (one lady), Jamshedpur, one fine morning... P.

Still remember in 2003, when India lost to Australia and the hostel was deep down in frustration. After 8 years, the cycle seems to be completed- India won against Srilanka and I came back at SIT as 'Guest of Honour' on 3rd April, 2011!! In between I had 8 years of diverse experience across 4 organizations. It was real honour, things have changed so much, you can not recognize the college boundary, but SHI-UM is still there, now 3rd year hostel! Organizers had done great job considering this was the first reunion. Opening of alumni website by me was also an unique experience which I can never forget. Here goes the pictures, https://picasaweb.google.com/ahirjoy/DejaVu#

Finished AOL Part-1 course(25th - 27th March, and follow up on 4th Apr), really a nice experience. The breadthing techniques - Sudarshan Kriya is really very innovative - it really helps in reducing stress, increasing hapiness. Now the Sadhana should be practiced everyday with 100% commitment for desired outcome.

Libya - Gaddafi says protesters deserve to die and his son warns of a river of blood, UN, though it invaded Iraq on the slightest provocation of 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' (which was never found) now doing nothing to stop this atrocity, this is a shameless stand.

After long time, I have found really something interesting to blog about. As we all know wikileaks after exposing several highly confidental documents now facing several attempts, specially from US enforcements agencies to stop its working. After facing several 'Service Denial' attempts, wikileaks yesterday relied on Amazon to host its sevice over its cloud. Now what happened after that was a real unfortubate thing. Amazon simply backed off under pressure only after few hours of hosting the applicaton. Now we talk so much about the advantages of cloud computing - less headache for customers, low cost etc etc. But what about this, provider terminating the agreement at such short notice without paying any attenion to the client's situation? Ok, I can agree there were several serious legal issues involved, but don't you think this has set a very bad preceedence? Cloud providers sighting this incidence can back off again in future even over less important issues according t...

Social entrepreneurship is the work of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change (a social venture). Whereas a business entrepreneur typically measures performance in profit and return, a social entrepreneur focuses on creating social capital. Thus, the main aim of social entrepreneurship is to further social and environmental goals. However, whilst social entrepreneurs are most commonly associated with the voluntary and not-for-profit sectors, this need not necessarily be incompatible with making a profit. Here I want to discuss about few of my favourite Indian social entrepreneurs who really bringing changes in common men's life. Irfan Alam - Founder of Samman - It is an organization that works with cycle rickshaw pullers in parts of northerna nd eastern India. The rickshaw pullers rent aa vehicle and Samman arranges finances for them. ...
