Miles to go …

Here are some pictures of the food I’ve eaten so far:

Here are some of the characteristics of Thali (first 3 pictures):

• Banana leaf is used as the base for serving the food – clean and green
• A large variety of items are served, including the traditional sambar/rasam/rice/yogurt
• Modular – Items are served in a pre-defined order.

Over the lunch table, we were talking how this correlates to GlassFish v3:

• HK2 is the core kernel – clean (written from scratch) and light-weight (green)
• GlassFish v3 is a container that can do the traditional JavaEE and much more such as JRuby, PHP & Phobos.
• Modular – Appropriate containers are loaded only if they are required. For example Web container is loaded only if there are any web applications deployed. Similarly for JRuby, PHP & Phobos as well.

Do you see any other similarity ?

And finally the Dosa (making & the final product)

And even a Biryani on the plane too
