Time to write again!
Ok, my PhD studies is taking its toll. I feel I should get back to writing now that there are poor souls like the one who commented (2nd one) on the previous post want me to write something. :-)
The trouble however is that nothing is on my mind as of now except for my 'spatial alarms' project. If you are wondering what it is all about then you must take a look at this link - http://disl.cc.gatech.edu/courses/cs8803_spring2006/project/proposals/murugappan.pdf
It is a simple enough course project - not meant to change the world and stuff but it sounds very practical to me.
Apart from that I just finished watching 2 hours of Stargate SG1 and 3 more hours to go. Sometimes I wonder if I am really a grad student. ;-)
Now a few comments about my phd life which I am sure you must have thought must have driven me nuts by now. The truth is that its fun and far more stressless (did I make a new word there?) than high school. Anybody heard of National Public School - oh boy! life there was far more hectic that PhD. I dont mean to say PhD studies are easier - I am just saying its actually 'fun'. Of course there is no money but there are some nice things you can work on - learn new stuff and have fun at the same time. The pressure is not bad. Univs in the US are cool in terms of amount of work you have to put in. As long as you listen carefully in the class and learn stuff with passion life is good.
Thats it for now. I shall later get back with something better!
