Good Morning!
There are few updates- Firstly, I have revamped the blog third time in this quarter and secondly, Changed the URL of the blog.Why?? well that’s kinda tough question. i thought with so many changes around , perhaps my blog deserved some right changes , like the stupid “4055” from the previous url. Many people asked me about the 4055. Well, it’s no longer there ,so i can actually reveal the “not-so-secret” secret. 4055 was my first bank account- meaning completely opened , managed and owned by me.That was back in the year 2004 when i joined amity. i needed to encash a draft of Rs 28000(it was college hostel refund..I opted out of hostel in the 1st sem itself). so i opened a Savings account(as i didn’t wanted to sent that money back into my dad’s pocket) with Standard Chartered. and that’s how it is!! I have sent podcast and tweets to as many readers as possible. But then also i think many would be left out. I am really sorry about it. I am sure people like ramit and sumi will not be able to find me. But not to worry , i will definitely sent updates to each one’s e-mail ids. But it would take time. Iam pretty busy for last few weeks. Lots of travelling, hell lot of arrangements, my laptop is on round the clock for last few days and iam sleeping in a pile of papers and sheets.
I got little time today- for myself. i wanted to have yoghurt in the breakfast.Unfortunately these guys at O’ Hara say that they dont serve yoghurt during winters.I smiled and said “That’s great. i will take a walk and will find it outside”. The floor service replied“ I will sent somebody to get it for you! You need it now? I said “ that’s ok ! i just wanted to enjoy the streets”. I know , It’s freezing outside but that’s kinda excuse- I wanted to take a walk. i mean life’s like this- doing unusual things on usual days. I went to the a small dairy shop and bought the small pack of sweetened yog..Now i needed a warm and calm place to sit and enjoy the breakfast. I could not think of any better option than Bristo. Well , the staff is really friendly and they were kind enough to allow me to eat the yog inside bristo and also suggested “turkish coffee without milk” . I settled at one of the corners which i find to be warmer than other parts of the resto. I opened the wrapper of yog and started eating . Woh! what a delight! I like eating frozen dairy items during winters. and then john Chambers was on TV.i asked the guy to turn up the volume. Well i knew he was in Detroit and will address many consultants in CES-2010. Iam a big fan of John Chambers.In my opinion he is a legend. He turned Cisco into this giant network hub. In my first year in office i learned many things about him(part of a case study- Six Sigma Implementation). How he took the whole networking business to new heights and now he is taking the company to another level- Consumer networking. Consumer here means normal people.I should say Personal Consumer Networking. Cisco is already a hot shot in modern communication and IT implementation. chambers is talking about taking networking to the most basic level – To the very lives of normal man- a man who listens to his mp3 player every morning or a man who clicks on his blackberry every now and then to get data casts from business sources. Chambers has announced new services for personal social entertainment platform. but the biggest news is that Cisco will provide a Medianet- which is kinda media- aware IP for video data-network infrastructure , to NBC during the broadcast of winter Olympic games from vancouver . the most interesting thing is that the IP Next-Gen- Network (IP NGN) will alllow NBC people to edit video and data – real time in vancouver, New york and Las vegas and then transfer the data packets to all 3 screens- PC, TV and Smartphones. That’s Awesome..
I think this would be a revolutionary step ahead and good that Cisco is heading it. No other company can take it’s place and it feels good to see so much going in this “once-subtle” area of IT. Things are catching up fast and i think within few years people will use improved cisco networking tools and solution right in their personal lives. I myself is considering of setting up a Linksys platform at my home so that i can video chat with my parents. I am sure many people like me – who have parents living alone in some other city -can find it useful. The linksys system comes with all the necessary hardware and software to start a video chat. and now i hear that Cisco is amalgamating it with social networking sites so that you can directly upload video or image.
Ok I have to rush. I dont wanna be late for the office. Ending it, having the future of networking in the hands of companies like Cisco gives great deal of confidence that earth’s population will enjoy, over time, cutting edge networking systems and communication platforms.
