What we wish in our lives is only true with the Keyboard

1. When we look at our past, we think it could have been much better, we wish there was 'undo (ctrl + Z)' in life!

2. We miss many things in our life and then we wish there was 'find tool (ctrl+F)' in life!

3. At times we mess up our relationship with others, we wish there was 'rebuild all' in life!

4. The conference room is full packed and you cannot get anywhere near that celebrity at the other end, we wish there was 'zoom & view full screen'in life!

5. We love someone and then we marry get married and later at a stage a realization that there is bound to be a mismatch, we wish there was a valuation period' or atleast a 'sample download' or a 'demo version'!

6. We get up early in the morning and see a pimple on the face, we wish there was 'cut and paste (ctrl + X)/ (ctrl + C)' in life!

And the best one is ..........

7. The best part of the keyboard is U & I are together which is not always there in life......

Why should I Live...

This is an answer to a question “Why should I live ?”

This is an answer to a question “Why do u live ?”

This is an answer to everyone’s beautiful living

This is an answer to every breath that we take.

Live for what you are yet to receive

Live for the friends you will get

Live for the jokes you still wait to hear

Live for the beautiful travels you are still to make

Live for everything you are not sure about, as it will still challenge your being

Life for tomorrow’s sunrise

Live for the gifts you are yet to receive

Live for the riddles you haven’t yet solved

Live for all your unanswered questions

Live for all your lost battles, as they are your precious lessons

Live for your enemies, as they are there to give birth to you forgiveness

Live for all the ambitious goals you’ve set

Live for the smiles you get every day

Live for the smiles you give every day

Live for all the great ideas you will have tomorrow

Live for tomorrow’s surprises

Live for all the nice words you haven’t yet said to your loved ones

Live for all the books you haven’t yet read

Live for all the unborn challenges you still have to face

Live for all the stories you haven’t yet heard, written or imagined

Live for all your unfulfilled dreams

Live for every single second, as this is all you have, only this infinite second

I am living my life to witness miracles…

Foster's party at Blue, Solaris Club

Kingfisher ruled Indian beer goers throughout the late eighties. Nineties, too, started with a bang for the makers of Kingfisher beer. And then there came a rival that divided the Kingfisher market.

FOSTER'S India Ltd, makers of Foster's beer.

"Foster's is the world's 7th largest international beer brand, but to date has been under-represented in India". Foster's, a leading Australian brand, has six per cent market in the mild beer India market.

What does this call for – Good Marketing strategy?

Foster's, which started operations in India in 1998, is rolling out a new initiative to emphasis the quality of its beer, apart from this they also believe "If we r the best lets show it".

Thus to promote their brand in Pune, they had organized a invite-only poolside party at Blue, Club Solaris, Koregoan park on 7th June 2009, Sunday at 12:30 PM.

I was invited by IndiBlogger along with some of known and popular Pune blogger’s to be a part of this event.

My camera has brought back some of the action !

Foster's Party had astonishing music by a famous DJ,

free Foster beer, models & media celebrities who sizzled around the Blue swimming pool.

Forget swimming and keeping fit. Your average pool can be your pond of fun, just like what we have here.

The party was a 'splashing success' with some models and celebrities hitting the venue to cool off.

Today, Foster's Lager is one of the fastest growing, truly global beer brands, available in more than 150 countries.

* Do you’ll still have a Question for me “U being a part of UB Group and a Non-Boozer

what were u doing at Foster’s Party?”.

Where I started & What am I now….

I started off my career as a Corporate Trainer while I was accomplishing my Maser’s in Computer Management.

Role as a Corporate Trainer:

- Conducted training for EDS Fresher’s batch in C and VB Script

- Training to HSBC in Core Java

- At Bharati Vidyapeeth University trained the PG-IT students in Java and WebTechologies [HTML,CSS, DHTML, PHP, JavaScript]

- At Asian School of Management was a visiting faculty for DBMS

Role as a Software Consultant:

Did couple of projects naming few – Online Admission Portal, Online Examination and IT School. This is where I got first hand experience in SDLC and a scope to explore Java, JSP, Servlet, JDBC and Struts.

I had become a big fan of WSAD and Websphere. 

Role as a Weblogic Consultant:

Moved on to become a Weblogic Consultant as I wanted to understand more what and how things work on the server side. 

Troubleshooted issues occurring on Weblogic Server 8, 9 & 10.

Found my interest in Python and made WLST my domain.

Later on started working and consuting client facing issues in devlopemnt with WLW.

Got introduced to JSF, JMS, JTA, POJO & Hibernate.

These new Technologies drew me back to the development environment.

Role as a Programmer Analyst:

Did a project for ILO – International Labour Organization. Which not only gave me a come back into development but got me introduced to the secure coding.  

The experience of the race shows that I got most important education not

through books but through my work. I am developing by my daily task, or else

demoralized by it, as by nothing else.

Role as a Framework Architect:

Currently I am into the designing & development of a framework to facilitate rapid

application development for Java open source projects.

A broad layout on the Framework features -

*        User authentication 

*        Single sign on 

*        User & Role management - Role based access to the functionality & access to data.

*        XML based screen generation  

*        Supported databases - MySQL, SQL server, ORACLE. 

*        All queries will be ANSI SQL compliant  

*        Flexibility to develop business logic in middle tire or database

*        Exception handling

*        Audit trail

*        Logging mechanism

*        Report Generation - Export to PDF & Reporting services and dashboard

>   Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

>   Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling

>   Broken Authentication and Session Management

>   Insecure Cryptographic Storage

>   Insecure Communications

>   Failure to Restrict URL Access 

With this being my career journey, I could say “Find a job u love & u will never work for the rest of ur Life.”

I remember in my college days when I participated for a Paper Presentation “Open

Source vs Proprietary Software where I said “I support Open Source and 1 day I will

start contributing towards it”

I never knew that this would come true so soon.
