Ohh busy days, busy days. I am on a flight from Chandigarh to Hyderabad right now. Some good music playing in my ears. I just feel like writing, and let us just discuss what has been happening in the past few months.

Well, a lot of machine prediction and classification for starters. Dad recommended this course and since its completion life has been work work work. Good work nonetheless.

Wrapped up this course on Deep Learning and CNNs in Python. The thing I am most happy about is the fact that it was in Python because I did not want to have to start R now, although I still will have to go through it at some point. I picked up this project under Professor Rajesh Kumar Tripathy which involves GANs and Emotion/Anxiety Recognition and EEG Signals which means you now have me reading up on skin resistance and stuff. But the project seems very cool. I have always been very afraid of the medical stuff in human life and the fact that this project lies in the medical signal processing domain does not sit easily on my nerves.

For some reason whenever I start some small thing in life I always envision my life ending with me working on it and the thought terrifies me. I need constant change in life. Probably because that is how I grew up. Things becoming stagnant genuinely terrify me. This is the whole reason why my resume looks like a jack of all trades and master of none (hahaha). I do love doing a bit of everything and the latest in my book is machine learning. I would be lying if I said this came about unknowingly as I always had an interest in the mysterious arts and sciences behind computer vision. And I knew to get proficient in the art I would have to go head to head with machine learning and pattern recognition. In my journey I have been specifically helped by the course BITS F312 NNFL I must say. That shit is hard. We directly implement algorithms there. No packages or libraries are allowed. Completing those assignments makes me feel like I am some sort of genius and which is probably why my interest in the subject is still up. A nice point that. Greed and desire to be recognised. My interest in the subject is not up because I feel like I can use that knowledge to make some change but because it makes me feel more powerful and genius.

Well, the world will not spin around without greed so we can probably move ahead. Today is also race day as I type this out. I so wanted to visit Bahrain for the Grand Prix this year. I remember I asked my parents so many times and lucky them, they were right in not going ahead with the plan as Sebastian Vettel is out for this year’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Would have been a bummer to be there. Let us try for some end of the year race.

What else has been up in my life? Ohh yeah, we have also started constructive work on the Hyperspectral Imager or so I hope. Well, I am going back to campus right now, about an hour's worth of flight time and the same in a chartered cab left to the campus. I guess we can start work from tomorrow onwards. The second half of the semester is the only academic rigour left till the start of my third year. I had always wanted the third and fourth years of my science cum engineering degree to only be constructive work each day, every day.

Have a few personal projects, a few academic ones, a few possible publications, a small team and the holy grail cumulative grade point average to be taken care of.

Fully offline classes start from tomorrow onwards, which also means long hours at the library working on this bloody pitch deck. See ya!
