Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. I did promise I would be regular, but I could not for the last 4 months and there are reasons for that. I was heavily loaded with the first two semesters of coursework. I went through 7 advanced postgraduate level courses in the last 11 months and it was truly a heavy learning experience. Though there was not much of personal space, but I still enjoyed this upgradation of my skills and exposure in computer science. This came to my mind that, I should share some of these experiences so that, those who aspire to undergo an M.S. or an M.Tech. or a Ph.D. program, would get a decent idea of what it...

Hello friends! In this blog post, I am going to share you some simple tips for doing well in the first semester of an IIT level postgraduate program. This might apply to many other universities, but since the load in IITs is a notch higher than most universities, I strongly recommend these at least in the IITs and IISc. Also, these tips are specific to postgraduate students i.e. M.S., M.Tech. and Ph.D. students. When people join for a postgraduate program, they might not be as fresh and energetic as the undergraduates, how am I saying so??? Personal experiences… Just trust me!!! And, I do feel that the B.Tech. students do take a lot more load than most postgraduate students, and...

A note of caution before you start. This post is about my personal experiences in the CASS-2018 (Computer Architecture Summer School) organized in IITK during the first week of July, 2018. This post is really long and detailed, so you need have a lot of patience to complete it. Any type of feedback / comment / query is always welcome and the disqus comment section is the best space to go about it. Of course, you can do mail me or message me if needed. Typos/errors if found, please let me know. Let’s start. The loaded first semester at IITH of my PG., was just about to finish with only one exam pending. And, I received a mail from my...

Being a Traveler, an Adventurer, a Nature Lover leads me into exploration. After roaming across a number of beautiful, historical, naturally astounding places around the country in the recent years, I just took a break, and to a great extent this break happened as a set of situations, than a non-execution. I still traveled, but that was just mechanical, Hyderabad to Berhampur and vice-versa. Well, in the recent months, this loop has ended, and I am back in form. And, this is a very long post, be cautioned before proceeding. I just had a great bike trip along the eastern ghats of South Odisha, in the second week of August this year(2017). It was just awesome, 2 bikes, 4 friends...

I had a much awaited visit left pending in my account to Vizianagaram (Vijayanagaram) on some personal work, some meetings and some fun. I thought of making this trip a bit different and special. I have always loved the life of free birds. They stop wherever they want; they enjoy whichever place comes in their way. They at times halt and at times just keep flying. It is all at their will. Well, I do not have wings, I cannot fly. But, I can just ride a bike or a horse or a car etc. Yes, I have a dream to ride a horse someday. For the time being, I had to settle with a bike. I had my Shine...

I consider myself blessed to experience the amount of travel I have been doing for the last few years, ever since I am off college. It seems like I am becoming a travel addict. Hours and days long journeys don’t seem long anymore. Now, I enjoy the moments in my travel. I am no more just desperate to arrive at my destination. In the last few years I have travelled across India (sailing across more than a dozen of the dynamic Indian states), whereas until 2013, I was just restricted to the Odisha and Andhra Pradesh border and their coastline. However, it is to be noted that I haven’t got quite the amount of time to explore and experience each...

In our society, physical disabilities like blindness or losing a limb are often more easily recognized and accommodated. But it’s important to remember that neurodiversity-based challenges like ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD, and Bipolar Disorder are just as significant and impactful. These conditions can seriously affect someone’s ability to function and thrive, even if you can’t see it. Many people mistakenly think that neurodiverse conditions are just psychological and can be overcome with a positive attitude alone. This misunderstanding misses the physiological basis of these conditions and the huge impact they have on daily life. Living with a neurodiverse condition can be incredibly challenging. Just like physical disabilities can limit mobility and independence, neurodiverse conditions can mess with cognitive processes,...

Today I want to share a concerning observation that has been deeply troubling me. Living in Bangalore, a city known for its vibrant culture and thriving tech industry, I’ve come to appreciate its unique blend of tradition and modernity. However, recent incidents have left me disheartened and questioning the values of the community we are building here. A Disturbing Incident Just a few days ago, I witnessed an incident that encapsulates a growing issue. A local taxi driver became violently aggressive towards a young tech professional over a minor misunderstanding. The situation quickly escalated, with the driver physically attacking the techie all because the latter couldn’t communicate in Kannada. This scene unfolded before my eyes and it was a harsh...

In the vast expanse of our professional lives, we find ourselves as travelers on an ever-evolving journey. This journey is marked by significant arrivals, poignant departures, invaluable learnings, and profound growth. Each phase, encounter, and experience weaves together to create a rich tapestry reflecting not only our career paths but also our human essence. 1. Arrivals: The Dawn of New Beginnings Every new job, project, or role we undertake is a step into the unknown, a new chapter filled with promise and potential. The excitement of arrival is palpable; it is a moment brimming with hope and anticipation. As we step into these new arenas, we bring not only our skills and expertise but also our unique personalities, dreams, and...

I belong to the border region of Andhra Pradesh–Odisha on the coastline. It’s a wonderful zone. The ambience is fantastic. Hills, jungles, the national highway, the cool sea beaches, the wonderful Chilika lake, the cross cultured Odia and Telugu families, the numerous wonderful temples, and small yet beautiful towns with real simple people and what not… However, this zone is a real struggler when it comes to having a stable life. Every other year there hits a cyclone, sometimes severe and sometimes mild. Just yesterday we experienced a mild cyclone, “Roanu”. It was just normal. There was nothing new for us. But, I made sure that whatever we experience this time, comes into picture of most of my friends and...

It’s been decently long since I have blogged. There are stuff happening in the background, I have had some new experiences, new twists and turns in my life, lately. But, this is not about the changes I am undergoing. Rather, it’s about something of prime importance, something that can change our lives completely. It won’t be an exaggeration, if I term it as a probable solution to several problems that we are experiencing in the early 21st century. I am into sharing my views, experiences and possible suggestions on one extremely important matter, which I have been observing for quite some years, at least in my early adulthood. These opinions are mine, and I am fully aware that many would...

The tragic death of Atul Subhash - a Bengaluru-based professional who succumbed to the pressures of alleged harassment, legal battles, and chronic stress - forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our society, legal systems, and mental health awareness. His story is not just a singular tragedy; it is emblematic of the struggles faced by countless individuals across the country. It reminds us of the need for a collective reckoning - a shift in how we view mental health, equity, and the essence of living a purposeful life. The Story of Atul Subhash: A Life Unraveled Atul Subhash, a Deputy General Manager at an automobile firm in Bengaluru, was by all accounts a successful professional. However, behind the facade of...

At this juncture of life away home, I am missing my childhood a bit too much. Yes, the festival of lights has finally arrived and I am not home. Okay, never mind, let it be fun this time over here in the north-east. This time the Diwali falls on 10th or 11th November, depending on where you stay in India. Just like mine, Diwali might be one of your most favorite festivals and why would it not be? After all it’s the festival of lights, festival of sweets, probably the brightest night of the year (even without the moon). Let me have the privilege of writing some words on this awesome Diwali that we are about to experience. We all...

It’s quite an obvious phenomenon to encounter questions from people on something that they don’t know or they know quite a little about! And, this is probably why I encounter these questions; “how is Odisha? how’s its culture like? what’s special over there?” and on. And, this ultimately triggered me to write this post, Odisha - The land slightly unknown! So, if you are interested to know about my state Odisha, go on. I believe, you would find it interesting while you get to learn about this wonderful state and its people. Currently there are 29 states and 7 union territories in India, Odisha being one of the states in the eastern India. It has an area span of about...

This post is more of an abstract recap of the last couple of years. Many of my friends and close people know the year 2014, was not quite mine. There were too many issues with my interests, the conflicting results and probably I needed a little more strength to stand to my decisions. May be in the last few years, I had somehow been captured by a fear which I never had earlier, that was the fear of failure. But, by the end of 2014, I had decided to come over it, thanks to the motivations and comments by some of my mentors and best friends (includes Bhanu Bawa, Venky Anna, my Dad, Prabhakar, Bishnu, Rushi, Madhusmita and some more...

Just a month back, I made the decision to stay away from social media for a month. Well, here I am, typing on my netbook, that I’m still happily alive and that the past month has been life changing – one of the most successful month of my existence. These days with more and more people havng access to internet and smartphones and eventually joining Facebook, the site is full of happenings, updates, news, gossips, spam and much more. I considered myself more of a modest user of Facebook who always screens his updates to be suitable for the broad audience well before posting. Just like any other day, I pulled up the site and boom it was full of...

Today I want to share a concerning observation that has been deeply troubling me.

Hi, my dear wonderful reader! I am once again up with a new post in quick time. And, would make it small and precise. Thanks to the suggestion from one of the coolest persons, I have ever met, Amrit Kamal, I am writing this post! Thank you so much dude, for letting me experince this wonderful film and know about these super cool people and their super cool efforts. I am completely thrilled and moved. Let us make this video reach as many as it can. Time and again, when I talk to people, I say that we will be saved! Humanity is still there alive, to do it! We will not disappear like the dinosaurs did! We would prosper...

I am the only child of my parents. Being “The One and Only” is quite a tough job, sometimes it’s the best thing that can ever happen. When you are the only child, you grab all the attention of your parents. You be the center of their lives, their world revolves around you. You are the one they think of the moment they wake up, till the day ends. They always want the best for you in life, and go out of the way to fulfill your wishes and desires. As long as your demand is reasonable, you’re sure to get it almost every time. You don’t even have to share your things with anyone. Everything you have is only...

Let me have the privilege of writing some words on this awesome Diwali that we are about to experience. We all...

It’s quite an obvious phenomenon to encounter questions from people on something that they don’t know or they know quite a little about! And, this is probably why I encounter these questions; “how is Odisha? how’s its culture like? what’s special over there?” and on. And, this ultimately triggered me to write this post, Odisha - The land slightly unknown! So, if you are interested to know about my state Odisha, go on. I believe, you would find it interesting while you get to learn about this wonderful state and its people. Currently there are 29 states and 7 union territories in India, Odisha being one of the states in the eastern India. It has an area span of about...

Hi, my dear wonderful reader! I am once again up with a new post in quick time. And, would make it small and precise. Thanks to the suggestion from one of the coolest persons, I have ever met, Amrit Kamal, I am writing this post! Thank you so much dude, for letting me experince this wonderful film and know about these super cool people and their super cool efforts. I am completely thrilled and moved. Let us make this video reach as many as it can. Time and again, when I talk to people, I say that we will be saved! Humanity is still there alive, to do it! We will not disappear like the dinosaurs did! We would prosper...

I consider myself blessed to experience the amount of travel I have been doing for the last few years, ever since I am off college. It seems like I am becoming a travel addict. Hours and days long journeys don’t seem long anymore. Now, I enjoy the moments in my travel. I am no more just desperate to arrive at my destination. In the last few years I have travelled across India (sailing across more than a dozen of the dynamic Indian states), whereas until 2013, I was just restricted to the Odisha and Andhra Pradesh border and their coastline. However, it is to be noted that I haven’t got quite the amount of time to explore and experience each...

Today I want to share a concerning observation that has been deeply troubling me. Living in Bangalore, a city known for its vibrant culture and thriving tech industry, I’ve come to appreciate its unique blend of tradition and modernity. However, recent incidents have left me disheartened and questioning the values of the community we are building here. A Disturbing Incident Just a few days ago, I witnessed an incident that encapsulates a growing issue. A local taxi driver became violently aggressive towards a young tech professional over a minor misunderstanding. The situation quickly escalated, with the driver physically attacking the techie all because the latter couldn’t communicate in Kannada. This scene unfolded before my eyes and it was a harsh...

A note of caution before you start. This post is about my personal experiences in the CASS-2018 (Computer Architecture Summer School) organized in IITK during the first week of July, 2018. This post is really long and detailed, so you need have a lot of patience to complete it. Any type of feedback / comment / query is always welcome and the disqus comment section is the best space to go about it. Of course, you can do mail me or message me if needed. Typos/errors if found, please let me know. Let’s start. The loaded first semester at IITH of my PG., was just about to finish with only one exam pending. And, I received a mail from my...

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. I did promise I would be regular, but I could not for the last 4 months and there are reasons for that. I was heavily loaded with the first two semesters of coursework. I went through 7 advanced postgraduate level courses in the last 11 months and it was truly a heavy learning experience. Though there was not much of personal space, but I still enjoyed this upgradation of my skills and exposure in computer science. This came to my mind that, I should share some of these experiences so that, those who aspire to undergo an M.S. or an M.Tech. or a Ph.D. program, would get a decent idea of what it...

The tragic death of Atul Subhash - a Bengaluru-based professional who succumbed to the pressures of alleged harassment, legal battles, and chronic stress - forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our society, legal systems, and mental health awareness. His story is not just a singular tragedy; it is emblematic of the struggles faced by countless individuals across the country. It reminds us of the need for a collective reckoning - a shift in how we view mental health, equity, and the essence of living a purposeful life. The Story of Atul Subhash: A Life Unraveled Atul Subhash, a Deputy General Manager at an automobile firm in Bengaluru, was by all accounts a successful professional. However, behind the facade of...

Just a month back, I made the decision to stay away from social media for a month. Well, here I am, typing on my netbook, that I’m still happily alive and that the past month has been life changing – one of the most successful month of my existence. These days with more and more people havng access to internet and smartphones and eventually joining Facebook, the site is full of happenings, updates, news, gossips, spam and much more. I considered myself more of a modest user of Facebook who always screens his updates to be suitable for the broad audience well before posting. Just like any other day, I pulled up the site and boom it was full of...

In the vast expanse of our professional lives, we find ourselves as travelers on an ever-evolving journey. This journey is marked by significant arrivals, poignant departures, invaluable learnings, and profound growth. Each phase, encounter, and experience weaves together to create a rich tapestry reflecting not only our career paths but also our human essence. 1. Arrivals: The Dawn of New Beginnings Every new job, project, or role we undertake is a step into the unknown, a new chapter filled with promise and potential. The excitement of arrival is palpable; it is a moment brimming with hope and anticipation. As we step into these new arenas, we bring not only our skills and expertise but also our unique personalities, dreams, and...

I had a much awaited visit left pending in my account to Vizianagaram (Vijayanagaram) on some personal work, some meetings and some fun. I thought of making this trip a bit different and special. I have always loved the life of free birds. They stop wherever they want; they enjoy whichever place comes in their way. They at times halt and at times just keep flying. It is all at their will. Well, I do not have wings, I cannot fly. But, I can just ride a bike or a horse or a car etc. Yes, I have a dream to ride a horse someday. For the time being, I had to settle with a bike. I had my Shine...

This post is more of an abstract recap of the last couple of years. Many of my friends and close people know the year 2014, was not quite mine. There were too many issues with my interests, the conflicting results and probably I needed a little more strength to stand to my decisions. May be in the last few years, I had somehow been captured by a fear which I never had earlier, that was the fear of failure. But, by the end of 2014, I had decided to come over it, thanks to the motivations and comments by some of my mentors and best friends (includes Bhanu Bawa, Venky Anna, my Dad, Prabhakar, Bishnu, Rushi, Madhusmita and some more...

I am the only child of my parents. Being “The One and Only” is quite a tough job, sometimes it’s the best thing that can ever happen. When you are the only child, you grab all the attention of your parents. You be the center of their lives, their world revolves around you. You are the one they think of the moment they wake up, till the day ends. They always want the best for you in life, and go out of the way to fulfill your wishes and desires. As long as your demand is reasonable, you’re sure to get it almost every time. You don’t even have to share your things with anyone. Everything you have is only...

In our society, physical disabilities like blindness or losing a limb are often more easily recognized and accommodated. But it’s important to remember that neurodiversity-based challenges like ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD, and Bipolar Disorder are just as significant and impactful. These conditions can seriously affect someone’s ability to function and thrive, even if you can’t see it. Many people mistakenly think that neurodiverse conditions are just psychological and can be overcome with a positive attitude alone. This misunderstanding misses the physiological basis of these conditions and the huge impact they have on daily life. Living with a neurodiverse condition can be incredibly challenging. Just like physical disabilities can limit mobility and independence, neurodiverse conditions can mess with cognitive processes,...

I belong to the border region of Andhra Pradesh–Odisha on the coastline. It’s a wonderful zone. The ambience is fantastic. Hills, jungles, the national highway, the cool sea beaches, the wonderful Chilika lake, the cross cultured Odia and Telugu families, the numerous wonderful temples, and small yet beautiful towns with real simple people and what not… However, this zone is a real struggler when it comes to having a stable life. Every other year there hits a cyclone, sometimes severe and sometimes mild. Just yesterday we experienced a mild cyclone, “Roanu”. It was just normal. There was nothing new for us. But, I made sure that whatever we experience this time, comes into picture of most of my friends and...

Being a Traveler, an Adventurer, a Nature Lover leads me into exploration. After roaming across a number of beautiful, historical, naturally astounding places around the country in the recent years, I just took a break, and to a great extent this break happened as a set of situations, than a non-execution. I still traveled, but that was just mechanical, Hyderabad to Berhampur and vice-versa. Well, in the recent months, this loop has ended, and I am back in form. And, this is a very long post, be cautioned before proceeding. I just had a great bike trip along the eastern ghats of South Odisha, in the second week of August this year(2017). It was just awesome, 2 bikes, 4 friends...

At this juncture of life away home, I am missing my childhood a bit too much. Yes, the festival of lights has finally arrived and I am not home. Okay, never mind, let it be fun this time over here in the north-east. This time the Diwali falls on 10th or 11th November, depending on where you stay in India.

It’s been decently long since I have blogged. There are stuff happening in the background, I have had some new experiences, new twists and turns in my life, lately. But, this is not about the changes I am undergoing. Rather, it’s about something of prime importance, something that can change our lives completely. It won’t be an exaggeration, if I term it as a probable solution to several problems that we are experiencing in the early 21st century.

Hello friends! In this blog post, I am going to share you some simple tips for doing well in the first semester of an IIT level postgraduate program. This might apply to many other universities, but since the load in IITs is a notch higher than most universities, I strongly recommend these at least in the IITs and IISc. Also, these tips are specific to postgraduate students i.e. M.S., M.Tech. and Ph.D. students. When people join for a postgraduate program, they might not be as fresh and energetic as the undergraduates, how am I saying so??? Personal experiences… Just trust me!!! And, I do feel that the B.Tech. students do take a lot more load than most postgraduate students, and...

Just like mine, Diwali might be one of your most favorite festivals and why would it not be? After all it’s the festival of lights, festival of sweets, probably the brightest night of the year (even without the moon). Let me have the privilege of writing some words on this awesome Diwali that we are about to experience. We all...

It’s quite an obvious phenomenon to encounter questions from people on something that they don’t know or they know quite a little about! And, this is probably why I encounter these questions; “how is Odisha? how’s its culture like? what’s special over there?” and on. And, this ultimately triggered me to write this post, Odisha - The land slightly unknown! So, if you are interested to know about my state Odisha, go on. I believe, you would find it interesting while you get to learn about this wonderful state and its people. Currently there are 29 states and 7 union territories in India, Odisha being one of the states in the eastern India. It has an area span of about...

Being a Traveler, an Adventurer, a Nature Lover leads me into exploration. After roaming across a number of beautiful, historical, naturally astounding places around the country in the recent years, I just took a break, and to a great extent this break happened as a set of situations, than a non-execution. I still traveled, but that was just mechanical, Hyderabad to Berhampur and vice-versa. Well, in the recent months, this loop has ended, and I am back in form. And, this is a very long post, be cautioned before proceeding. I just had a great bike trip along the eastern ghats of South Odisha, in the second week of August this year(2017). It was just awesome, 2 bikes, 4 friends...

I had a much awaited visit left pending in my account to Vizianagaram (Vijayanagaram) on some personal work, some meetings and some fun. I thought of making this trip a bit different and special. I have always loved the life of free birds. They stop wherever they want; they enjoy whichever place comes in their way. They at times halt and at times just keep flying. It is all at their will. Well, I do not have wings, I cannot fly. But, I can just ride a bike or a horse or a car etc. Yes, I have a dream to ride a horse someday. For the time being, I had to settle with a bike. I had my Shine...

I consider myself blessed to experience the amount of travel I have been doing for the last few years, ever since I am off college. It seems like I am becoming a travel addict. Hours and days long journeys don’t seem long anymore. Now, I enjoy the moments in my travel. I am no more just desperate to arrive at my destination. In the last few years I have travelled across India (sailing across more than a dozen of the dynamic Indian states), whereas until 2013, I was just restricted to the Odisha and Andhra Pradesh border and their coastline. However, it is to be noted that I haven’t got quite the amount of time to explore and experience each...

In the vast expanse of our professional lives, we find ourselves as travelers on an ever-evolving journey.
