Women Empowerment

Recently I got an incentive to do more research on the contemporary Woman... and what brings her here ! I mean.... the history of women that has led to the present stand that they hold in society.

I realized that throughout history, women have always been subjected to servitude and lesser than a handful had ever stepped up to fight the tyranny. And although society has changed today, there are still a number of problems and cases of treason reported on a global scale against women.

Women are still considered the weaker sex by their male counterparts and only a highly educated man (and believe me... that's rare) would disagree.

So we must play our respective roles to combat the problems of women oppression and give them the platform for competing at the same level against men and also the equal rights that they deserve.

All hail women ! :)
Cheers !!

Open Source and SOA ! Where's the work ??

A couple of days back, I was just surfing through sourceforge.com for some projects related to Service Oriented Arch. and found it a pain to find some core projects. The blogs were filled with people asking basic doubts about SOA and it really made me realize the need to really uplift the SOA Open Source Community.

I was part of a project on upgrading the OpenUDDI Registry and adding enterprise oriented Workflow management schemes and APIs to it. And the OpenUDDI registry was really nothing less than a 'shock' as compared to those high-end enterprise Registries.

Big vendors in the market like Oracle Corps and IBM are way ahead in the Middleware Department and have left behind their Open Source Counterparts in the quality and functionality of the products.
(Ironic that these firms are the biggest contributors to Open Source !!)

I think that Middleware needs a boost and its latent potent needs to be tapped cause, Middlewares basically redefine how Business is done online !

I'm Atin...

I'm Atin... I sit and think, who are we ? and what brings us here ? is there a purpose to the existence of the universe ? is there a pattern to the way time is unfolding in front of us ?
Why are we so tied down by our petty differences ? Do we realize how small we are in this universe? Isn't there a better way to live our lives ?

Why do we waste our natural resources ? Do we not realize that they are our precious jewels, without which we would cease to exist ? Why are we so selfish ? Does it hurt to do good to others ?
Is there God ? Is there a way we can see him ? Does God lie in good deeds ? If yes, then why do we go to the temple and pray for our selfish interest ?

Who are we? and what brings us here ?
I'm Atin.... My quest in life brings me to where I am today. I express myself in many ways.
Through poetry, music, words, painting and discussing.

That's what brings me here...
