MORGUE

Is this a morgue?
With white ceiling and white white walls,
Fear crawling up your overalls,
This is the place to which death calls.
It bellows and thunders and asks you 'why?'
'Why did you escape? Why the hell did you try?'
I'll give you a ladder and then pull it out,
I'll smother your pleas no matter how much you shout,
We'll learn the way bricks are made,
It'll be rubbed in until your creativity fades.
I am the Satan, the sting, the manta ray,
Welcome to Morgue,hell yeah,
you'r trapped and there's no other way.

COMA.

In my coma (Cost Management :P) class today, i fell into a coma. literally. Came out this 'piece' -

Let sleep claim,
the shadows from my dusty lanes,
break all the barriers and chains,
free from this torment and pain.

Let sleep usher,
a sense of calm, no flutter,
throw out this junk, this clutter,
No words, hush, don't utter.

O Sleep, fly me away from here,
to a land of dreams, of love and care,
balm to the soul, purpose clear,
let me sleep forever, not an hour or two mere.

MIS ASSIGNMENT

Most informative conversation ever ;) between me(M) and my sibling (G) -

G: Hey , i wanted that song from your ipod?

M : Which one?

G: Who knew? By pink.

M: I m sorry ,but I have already deleted it. But you can always take it from the net , you know...raaga.com or whatever you prefer.

G: Yeah.

M: What’s that look?

G: Just wondering what would have happened if net wasn’t there. I’m really crazy for the song at the moment.

M: As a matter of fact, you would not have been able to download from the net...

G: Waaaaaat?

M: Had it been some 40 years back. At that time all you had were SINGLE TIER APPLICATIONS.

G: What’s that?

M: It means that both the data and the application reside on the same machine or platform. For eg, the song and the vlc player which plays that song. Or, let’s say the spreadsheet software and the data for the spreadsheet both of which lie on the same platform. As is evident, a single tier application is fine for personal applications but if there multiple people , which happens when employees of a company have to access, we move from single tier application to two – tier application or what is commonly known as Client Server applications. In two- tier architecture, the data is separated from the application and stored in a different platform. Each user has a copy of the application on his own machine, the client machines, but the data – the common data that is used by all- is stored in a common machine called the server. Hence, the name Client- Server. All these machines are connected together by the network- the Local Area Network and can exchange data with each other.

G: Wow. There wont be any redundancy, or inconsistency when the data is accessed by anyone as there is only one copy of the data which is available to all the users.

M: Also by placing the application logic on different machines ensures that none of the machines are loaded beyond their capacity, hence, performance does not deteriorate when you have a large number of simultaneous users.

G: But , instead of LAN , suppose we use it on WAN when we have to provide services to thousands of users spread all over the world, there will be high bandwidth requirements which will in turn slow down the entire application. Also , since you have a copy of the application on each user machine, then any change in the business logic will have to be quickly distributed, installed and configured on hundreds of far flung geographically dispersed machines. That would lead to manageability issues.

M: Exactly. And that is why, to get rid of so many problems we just discussed, there evolved the THREE TIER ARCHITECURE.

G: Now , what’s that?

M: In this the application is split into two – the presentation logic responsible for handling only the user interface, the screens , options menu etc is kept locally and the complex business logic – the part that computes salary, generates invoices, records ledger transactions (that is in case of a company) is stored at a central, common location. This gives the solution to our previous problem. Any significant change to the application has to be done only once at the central server and not at each location. This is known as the Application Server.

G:I can’t think of any well designed real life three tier application.

M: Consider an ERP product, like SAP, or Oracle. There would be a database server at the back, an application server – running the ERP software – in the middle and there would be client machines, with the ERP client software on every user’s desk.

G: But, you would still need the client software - or the equivalent user interface software - on every user's machine. What about that? And also, if a first time user is accessing your application over the internet, how would she know what client software is needed?

M: I see, you are more concerned about she's. Nothing surprising about that, but on a serious note on the internet we only use a browser and that is a MULTI-TIER ARCHITECTURE. Before you look more dumbfounded, in a multi- tier architecture, we place an additional machine called the web server between the application server and the user. In the three- tier architecture, the client software on the user machine is capable of communicating with the server application on the application server. B ut, in this the client server on the user machine is replaced by the web browser.

G: But how can the web browser understand the language of the application server directly?

M: It cant. That is why the business application has to be web enabled. But that is a small price to pay since we no longer need a specialist software at each client location. And an application rarely comes in today's time in which "web enabled" is not inherent. So, no price to pay at all.

G: This means I can have my cake and eat it too!

M: Everyone can have their entire big cake and eat it all by themselves. :)

I was in a mess…the keyword here being ‘was’..:D..with the TCS joining being delayed..i just hope that they have not shelved it forevr….i was in a fix….so much time to kill and home was nothing more than a gilded cage…initially I thought I shud sincerely start studying for CAT…my friends advise and a prett gud one at dat, bt me…an IT student…studies no way…not unless I get a grip on my life 1st…so finally ended deciding that wud b doing some chotu motu kam so dat I can spend lavishly..hahahaaa…nd my long term desire,join an NGO…I cant tel u how much am I happy wid the latter decision….seems TCS joining came late for a reason :-)
In the meantime I read some books…nothing that has left a lasting impression on my otherwise impressionable mind…but I hop the current one I am reading is goin to..in fact I can feel the bells ringing in my ears….dat my latest – rich dad,poor dad is goin 2 b a life saver….60 more pages to go nd I cnt keep my hands off it…but my feet however are dancing to the tunes of P!nk and tracks from the movie ‘the invisible’ and ‘remember the titans’…..just in luv wid p!nk’s ‘please don’t leave me’ nd ‘U+ Ur hand’…..not a bra burning feminist but man, wat a role model….avril has been replaced wid p!nk….soulful, meaningful lyrics and in ur face attitude…my blues hav been p!nked away..heheeheee…..
Still many a times in the night I do wake up thinking I have returned to the haven I alwaz used to run to in the past four years….to think its d end is scary…its not, not unless its over in ur mind….nd it’s going to be a long time bfore I bcm brain dead….
Luv ya guys…God bles u..tak care….

"Bed Of Roses"

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
