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"
~ Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

A few exciting months ahead

I am eagerly waiting for mid-Dec. Its not just that i would be free from all the workload that has been weighing me down for a long time now, I would have completed my applications, and the remainder of the end-term exams by then. But, what I am most enthusiastic about is the time I will have to myself for the next couple of months. I can finally finish those coursera courses now, and enroll for some more interesting upcoming courses( Intro to AI in 2 months). I am also looking forward to my first experience presenting my work at a conference from 19-21 Dec. I am very excited about the opportunity, where I will get a chance to interact with people from the same domain. It would be a place like no other. I am really excited about these new opportunities. I will also be starting my final year BTP Thesis on Multi-modal Biometrics from mid-Dec, and I am aiming a target for ICMI 2014. I am really very excited and hope that this period is very productive for me.

Google Hangout at US Embassy

Yesterday, i was invited to be part of a google hangout session at the US Embassy to help with the general and the specific queries for admission to US. It was a very good experience where my two major doubts were cleared by the panel. You can watch the video here,
