IT Architect - answered

Last week i was talking to my Lead Architect when i asked him what it takes to become a top-notch architect.Well he said every IT architect has a different answer. His views are

Technical Competence
The individual must have experience and knowledge relevant to the level in which they seek to Architect.

Clear Communication
Can the individual articulate clearly in the given language? Does the individual create clear and concise emails or documentation?

Presentation Skills
If the architect is presenting an architecture to a client, boss, team or other group of people, the presenter must be able to clearly explain their ideas, defend them, and win over the audience through presentation. One will not win all of the battles, but ultimately, One need to win the war.

Listening Skills
Can the individual listen? Don't confuse the inability of the individual to speak a given language (shyness) with their ability to listen. The skill to listening is tricky and can be difficult. reiterate back take-aways from a meeting to insure that you do not bungle this important facet of communication.

Business Vision
Many architects or architect-wanna-bees lack the ability to present or defend their ideas. Sometimes, this is because they lack business vision or do not understand how a business works or, they miss an entire spectrum of thought for a decision process.

Few tips that will help all of us to understand how businesses operate:

Subscribe and read the free Industry magazines
The most important item that My Lead Architect key in on is ROI and the business.I have found that my Lead Architect does homework from the business perspective rarely get cornered during a presentation.

Attend events, seminars and conferences build / have networks

Process Compliance
The ability to understand these process models can be a huge factor in the job you are trying to land. Software Change Management, version control, quality assurance are among some of the key processes that drive enterprise architecture and implementation.
There are five levels of CMM maturity, each a layer in the foundation for on-going process improvement, designated by the numbers one through five with five being the highest. Higher maturity levels signify lower risks to successful program execution. From the architecture, development and delivery standpoints, this requires more modular processes, more paperwork, very rigorous testing, but in the end delivers in a timely and highly successful fashion.

Swami Vivekananda


Few quotes on the occasion of his birthday

'Arise, awake stop not until goal is reached '

'First, believe in the world—that there is meaning behind everything'

'Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.'

'This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself '

' Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better '

For a Moment there

I dont know y but for some reason, this lines i got as forward mail made me to stop for a while.

10 th Grade
As I sat there in English class,
I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called 'best friend'.
I stared at her long, silky hair,
and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that
and I knew it. After class,
she walked up to me and asked me for
the notes she had missed the day before.
I handed them to her.
She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

11th Grade

The phone rang. On the other end,
it was her. She was in tears,
mumbling on and on about how her
love had broke her heart.
She asked me to come over because
she didn't want to be alone, So I did.
As I sat next to her on the sofa,
I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,
and three bags of chips, she decided to go home
She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss
on the cheek..
I want to tell her, I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don t know why.

Senior year

One fine day she walked to my locker.
"My date is sick" she said, "hes not gonna go" well,
I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,
we would go together just as 'best friends'.
So we did. That night, after everything was over,
I was standing at her front door step.
I stared at her as She smiled at me
and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her,
I want her to know
that I don t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Graduation

A day passed, then a week, then a month.
Before I could blink, it was graduation day.
I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel
up on stage to get her diploma.
I wanted her to be mine-but
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it.
Before everyone went home,
she came to me in her smock and hat,
and cried as I hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder
and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and
gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Marriage

Now I sit in the pews of the church.
That girl is getting married now.
and drive off to her new life,
married to another man.
I wanted her to be mine,
but she didn't see me like that,
and I knew it.
But before she drove away,
she came to me and said 'you came !'.
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.
I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

Death

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin
of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
At the service, they read a diary entry
she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read:
"I stare at him wishing he was mine;
but he doesn't notice me like that,
and I know it. I want to tell him,
I want him to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love him but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
I wish he would tell me he loved me !
.........'I wish I did too...'
I thought to my self, and I cried.

*** Do yourself a favour, tell her/him you love them.
They won't be there...................Forever. ***

By this post i dont claim every one comes across this.Belive me there may be persons like me who didnt come across such things. Now hearing such things from every one around, Do i consider me as fortunate / unfortunate ?

OMG some one help me .

Developer time

When I entered college, I started to go to sleep later than usual normally at 3 or 4 am, and this trend peaked a few years ago when I was working in hyderabad and bangalore, evening and night It was an awesomely productive time that is often required but unfortunately very hard on romantic relationships; luckly / unfortunately i didnt have any believe me. When I polled among my friends, most of them looked at me like what kind of kinky guy is he. My theory is that when a developer works on code and 'enters the zone', it creates such a powerful rush that only mental exhaustion is enough to permit sleep. Since a healthy human can survive on 5-6 hours a night for months on end, a developer in the zone will tend to work into the night, where there are few interruptions, and then crash when fatigue sets in. After 5-6 hours have passed, the cycle is repeated. I'd love to see atleast one person who fall into the 'Night Owl' category like me.

Aurora Balaji Temple

Today is 1-st day of the year setup little early around 11 am to wish happy new year to everyone I know here, I don't have great number of friends circle here though and decided to go to Aurora Balaji temple with my uncle this its like another routine weekend day.

Aurora Balaji temple is some 15 min drive from my apt, must say this is the only south Indian resembling temple AFAIK in and around Chicago. Prayed for the well being of every one I know. swami dharshan was excellent. Swami allangaram (decoration)for Balaji and Siva were excellent. My uncle and aunt had volunteers themself in temple activities . so i was waiting in near by place. suddenly i saw lakshman.he worked with me in hyerabad. was talking with him for some time. total of 7000 plus devotees have visited the temple so far (as of 4.30 pm.could touch 10 k)

Balaji temple canteen tought me this .A exclusive south indian restaurent could be a huge hit, if taste and variety are maintained. Its worth mentioning here that a few restaurents i went, i could differentiate between a plate and chappathi, a few color rices, hmm they are here called biriyani's OMG american subs and burger's are far better than this desi torture.
