It's that time of the year...

I recently switched my playlist from Rock/Rap/Heavy Metal to Christmas songs...cos it is that time of the year! Man... My Mom used to start her Christmas Playlist every year just one week after December starts and me 10,000 miles away playing the same playlist now makes me feel at Home. Nice isn't that just your senses could transport miles away on demand.

Well, it's that time when people turn to do good deeds to wipe out their bad debts accumulated over the year. It actually doesn't work that way, but who cares as long as a few needy people get something better than their usual stuff for Christmas. So at the end of the day, everyone is Happy, ain't that the Christmas spirit?

For me this Christmas is all about sleep and rest,cos I have a heavy, really heavy semester scheduled for me. Thesis is the heaviest of all that could sink my boat to the bottom, if I don't take care of it. Anyways...

Merry Christmas!! and Njoi the pleasures while it lasts...

End of a Semester...

So last week was the end of my Fall-2009 semester.Exams over and all set for a few weeks of rest before the entire cycle starts with Spring 2010. I took up two courses and one MS Thesis research last semester.It was hectic considering one of the courses was Algorithm, which had three midterms interleaved with four Homeworks. It was a hectic semester. To top it all off, I had to work on my Thesis research, but that was/is fun. Not much work done though, but at least am sure as to what I am supposed to implement and evaluate next semester before I defend my research work.

Working along with a PhD student, so I get to learn without making mistakes that could embarrass me. Hmm.. Some of my fnds have graduated this semester, and they are ecstatic that they are Master graduates!! Pretty cool huh.

Let me see,If I can post some of their graduation photos later this Saturday.
