Theme of Amazon.com

I was lucky enough to attain the Microsoft Experiemental Platform, which was hosted by some great people those have worked for Amazon, the world's biggest online shopping center and now part of the world's biggest company i.e. Microsoft. They shared some great ideas about experimenting new ideas to improve the user experience and ultimately the user engagement on a site. You know..the cool thing about the experiment is to do many mistakes in a faster way so that we increase the probability of success. Yeah...its little abstract but if you recall your schooling time, when our teacher used to say us 'Boy, how will you learn if you don't make mistakes'..Yes its the same. Most of the processes/best practices we follow in IT are nothing but the moral our teachers have tought us in school. Time for us to experiemnt the same; it could be the LEAN(Toyota Way) or Experimental Platform in more technical way.

Trip to LA & Mexico

Was a nice vacation and visit to Mexico was nice experience. This time the vacation was so special to me as I was with my college friends Bhabu,Bal & Soumya. I flew to Covina, LA where these friends are staying and had a very good friday night. The same day we celebrate Abhijit's(Bhabu's room mate) BD. Next day early morning we started our trip to Mexico. Stopped at Santa Fe as well as San Diego old town, had delicious sea foods. Then crossed the US border and straight went to hotel. Nightlife in Mexico recalled my LV experience ;)..wow! Then next day we went to a very beautiful beach in Mexico called Calafia Beach. Then again back to San Diego to watch the beautiful San Diego Bay where 'Bay Watch' was made and then back to our bachelor room(Covina). Next day we went to Universal Hollywood. The rides were thrilling specially the The Mummy, Jurassic park and Simpson's. The trip was excellent and that to with my friends. Waiting for more...!!
