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"

PhD is not about Breadth but Depth

A single line "PhD is not about breadth, but depth" by Mor Harchol-Balter, CMU in his article on graduate admissions,  brought reminiscence of the day when i had my last presentation at CVIT. I remember presenting the ideas i worked on towards a Gesture Recognition system independent of color. I pristinely remember that Professor Jawahar on that particular day gave just one single piece of advice to me, focus on depth and not breadth. I had some smattering what Professor wanted to convey, but after reading this article today, I am pretty sure what to make out of it. I really commend Professor's advise and hope to learn a lot more than time would allow.
