I found this video about Islam today from a fellow blogger here and instantly loved it. The video tells about the basic concept of Islam. As we all know, Islam is the most misunderstood and misinterpreted religion at the moment. Therefore, this sort of materials are very essential and timely for people to learn about [...]

We are using Spring Web Flow since its version 1.0 in a few modules of our project. I have enjoyed working with it.

They have done it again! What was supposed to be a comeback match for them after two consecutive heavy defeats, has now turned around to be another fairy tale!

I read Dilbert daily. It only concentrates on office environment and situations happening our work lives. Some of them really matches one’s practical experience. Like these two for me -
Recently I have come across this truth; doing some work is equally (if not more) important to properly explaining your superior what you did. If you [...]
