Preface Shashank's 5 year old son Adi threw his dad's iPhone across the hall in a rage. Shashank told him "Adi, you cannot do that!" for which Aditya took another android phone that was on the table and flung it at him again. He was in rage! And Shashank had no idea how to handle it. He mentions, this is not just once but a common problem he faces on a daily basis. Where exactly is Shashank going wrong in his parenting? Parenting in General Most often, working couples decide to have a baby and never realize that they need to account their time spent with the kids at various ages for their education, development, hobbies, personality, behavior and more. Parenting is not to be taken for granted.  Kids, while growing up, need a lot of attention, loving and caring, guidance, answers to their questions - all of which requires time from the busy schedules of working and  "socio-politan"  parents. Every action by parents, words used,

Cloud computing primer - What is cloud computing?

What is Cloud Computing? For people who have  "no clue"  what is cloud computing, below is a simple example: Scenario:  Imagine its your wedding and many guests are coming from different cities.   Questions:   Would you buy a house for them to stay during the wedding?  Would you rent a house with a 6-month or one-year contract for their accommodation arrangements?   DEFINITELY NOT!! Would you rather book some hotel rooms during the wedding? Of course!  You will end up paying only for your usage and nothing more. The notion or concept or idea of Cloud computing is somewhat similar to this situation. Scenario:  Imagine you want to create a Gift Products website as a business idea. The traffic to your website is extremely high needing 10 server machines during Christmas or Valentines and only 1-2 servers during off-peak gifting seasons. Questions: Would you buy 10 dedicated servers and host them in your office though only 1-2 servers are used for many of the days?
