Quote that describes my ultimate goal

"The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have, and in the end you may find out that you may have less than what you thought"

Hand Orientation Normalization

I am working on a problem on hand vein authentication in which i need to study specifically an aspect because of the dataset i have to work with. It is due to the lack of publicly available datasets i have to implement this specific operation to proceed ahead with the work, as it is required specifically to be implemented on the dataset before any other operation on authentication can be performed. I am currently researching about the aspects by which this specific problem can be handled, though i have not found a lot of literature on this aspect, but i am studying specifically a research paper written by Prof. Bülent Sankur, as the professor is the one who has collated the dataset i am currently working on. I think this week is going to be very interesting, as i am going to implement the aspects of image processing, that i just read only in theory.

Jam Packed Schedule

The last few days have been a lot busier for me than what i can compare my entire undergrad career so far. I have been busy, writing drafts for my paper, studying for GRE(esp Verbal, that is giving me a toll, though now  i have been able to secure good scores in mocks), ongoing projects, upcoming project initiatives and internships. This part has to be taken care of more; have to email results to a prof at Texas State asap, and i am not able to get the time for the same. So overall this last one month has been quite hectic for me. But i expect a lot more jam packed schedules ahead, as i have agreed for an internship at IIIT-H and have to leave for CVIT in summers and most important of all, i have to start writing to professors as soon as i generate my GRE score on 17th April with my complete profile.

Cheers to jam packed schedule ahead! :D
