The mountain which became a pebble

Stood the mountain with its entirety
thrusting its weight like a royal Almighty
It had plenty
But was never complete in surety


The burden seemed like the throne
The sun however shone
It took the blow of an unexpected wind
levitating with its lightness, it simply tittilated
the lonely grass standing on the corner
began to sway to the tune of the wind
soon the mountain began to realize
its melting burden
The mountain, stripped of its burden, is a pebble
ready to be carried along, repose along
with its own nature , totally at ease
with its blemishes, looking like sketches
It wondered at itself!
Oh what a lovely peble!


PS: Wrote a poem after ages at a leadership retreat in Delhi!
I wrote in one go and didnt feel like modifying it.


Would love to hear your thoughts

The Wiki Leaks phenomenon


These are exciting times to say the least. A brave new voice has risen up, questioning all that we never questioned in our lives. This is not the first time in history we are hearing such voices. Long long ago, when the medieval  Church ruled over the state, heretics who questioned the authority were burnt alive. Heretics are like Avatars.  They are born everytime at the cusp of a new world order, questioning all the beliefs we were grown up with. Their lives are full of chaos. Think about lives of Krishna & Jesus. I know, what you are thinking.

The Mystery

What's so mysterious about mystery? On a lazy Saturday morning, when my mind is lost in a maze of  scattered to-do scrap notes everywhere, I decide to shut everything down and decide to write about Mystery in my college library.  I look around. Nobody seems to be bothered about books and magazines lying around.  I see several heads tethered by ear phones, eyes imprisoned within 14 inches of laptop screens, minds plugged to the Internet, The Library of our century, The Universal mind of our times.

Walking in the Clouds - Cloud Computing Summit 2010 - Part III


After the panel discussion, the focus shifted towards the security aspects of Cloud Computing. These sessions were covered by Anil Nama, Vice President- Solutions and Innovations, CtrlS and Ajay Porus, Organizer and Director,Cloud Security Alliance, Hyderabad Chapter. I was personally quite excited about this session as I had some hands-on experience on handling security issues in my previous organization when I was a part of the Business Continuity Planning Team.
