Similar feeling!!

Ohh no!! Its coming again. I can sense this.. Having witnessed it various times before, I can tell u for sure that its the same.
Last Diwali too I got the same feeling, and after this Diwali vacation is coming to an end now, I am getting it again..

What is this feeling??
"The feeling that I wasted my vacation. Ohh, I could have gone to home instead." :D

Anyways, taking this wholesome deal was not a big deal either. No matter how less I worked, I did something. :) Having went to home, I would have taken atleast 2 more days to get into the mood of study.. This should mean that the feeling I am getting is deceiving and I did the right thing staying here.

Having recently been to home for Brother's Engagement (during Dushera) & with most judicial semester on the way, I am happy that I took the right decision.

I missed my home, but with friends in here the feeling is subdued. Do u wana know what I am waiting for now?? Well, I am waiting for my friends to come and share a lot of sweets.. Yummie!!

Happy Diwali..

Why this mentality?

Nomenclature: WD -> Work Done

1. Max u(WD by Leader) - v(WD by public)
subject to condition:
u,v > 0 &
u/v > 4 (Magic Number!! :D)

2. Max (Chaos + Effort Required for WD)
subject to condition:
Support/Motivation/Involvement by public is minimum &
Prob. of progress/success is still maximum
--------------------------------------------------------

I know guys, Its a very fuzzy way to express myself. Dont break your head on above.. ;)

The thing is, people expect default behavior from the leaders. Want everything to go right, but yet without their own invovlement. This is a general scenario which I can very well associate with the term 'Indian Mentatliy'.

When criticizing the govt. people talk about bad roads, pollution, thrash, crimes, mismanagement, etc. They want everything that can be corrected and go right, to indeed go right.. But the catch is, without their any contribution (except for the critcism).

I remember when I talked to few people about the "Juhu Beach Cleanliness Drive" early this year, many people had a laugh at it. They believe that things cant go right. They are not willing to do their part (not also when they themselves are throwing wastes). But they still want Indian Beaches to be clean like any foreign nation's famous beaches.
When and How will this Indian Mentality will change?? The above is just an example and if you really think, you can find N no. of examples where you yourself can play a part in improvement.

People also expect things to be defaulty done by the leader, without junta itself showing any interest in it. Tell you friends, this is the age of expressivenes. We need to emphasize on our demands to get things done. Even if some leader is interested in doing something new, he may atlast avoid it if the task dont get people motivated. So try to be expressive.
The power of expression and a hand of support can take things to a better level.

Humans Vs Machine Learning.

What you are going to read is a basic draft written in mostly one pass. (Disclaimer -- Some analogies may not be intuitively descriptive). If you know some terms related to 'Machine-Learnig' approach, then its an easy ride for you.. :)
[Note: in brackets you will find analogy to help easy understanding]

To go with Machine Learning Way:
"It takes time to learn Classifying (understand) different points (people). It takes a lot of instances (experiences) to be able to build a good classifier (impression). You can fasten the process by Active-Learning (enquiring about someone) to learn quickly.

For many a dataset (persons), the initial-guess (First-Impression) decides how long will it take to get a perfect classification (Faith). The slope/gradient (small small acts) decides the converging(goodwill) rate."


We apply Machine Learning, in a way Human thinks and percepts various things. Being human and our own Active Learner, why we take so much time to judge someone. We judge people, go along with them, but most of the time people later regret of having misjudged the person. Why is it so?? May be we are not seeing enough features (taking kernels to higher feature space) of the person. Or may be we (our classifiers) are not adaptive.

The classifier needs to be keep on trained, on not just training set(inital impression), but also on the furthcoming Test dataset (actual personality) so as to learn and adapt. The more time and instances we give to the classifier, the more we can understand the classifier.

The boundary values (or Support Vecotrs) are the good points which decide the classification hyperplane in Machine Learning. Similarly, its only in the time of crisis that u actually judge the real person. The character of the person is not what he does when everything is going right way. Its judged by how he handles pressure and behaves when things are not going right.

I always hope that people should not always form a rigid first-impression. Its important, but so is the time and reliability. Having judged a person in a long run (or having trained a good classifier), always will get you in touch with the right person. Be ready to accept them being a HUMAN. If Machine Learning can do it with a good accuracy, why dont we give chance to people around us.

Thanks,

Not a FOOL, but still !!

Every one does some foolishness at some point of time. It often effects us, but more or less they become memories of long time. Today just sit and think about what all foolishness u have done in your life by now.. I am sure u cant refrain a smile thinking those, and magically u still remember most of them even may be after 10 years.. :)

Actually foolishness is something you do without thinking of the consequences. In a way you do things which tempted you so strongly that you did not even thought of diving into the matter. Am I making sense on this for you.

Well, Today I was thinking of some such cases of mine.
Tell me,
What will happen to you, when in your life your first (and the only) proposing to a girl happens only in the 4th or 5th meeting with her?
How will you react when your Cheet sheet slips out of your Desk during the examination time? :)
What impression would you get, when you send a Friendship request mail (offcourse on the friendhship Day) to a pretty girl who is your co-classmate, when u both dont even realy know each other well?
..
..
.

I think it may be difficult for you to get the feel of above, but to me they are some of the memorable foolish acts of past. Although few of them dont seem that bad to me now. After all, expressing oneself is a good thing. :)

There are many more, which better remain confidential. After all telling all the foolish act open in the public is also a foolishness in itself. :D

I am Back !!

Am I really Back??
Well guys, for this you have to keep watching the space. I will try my best to be regular on this.

As latest update after last blog on April'06,, I have stepped into the 3rd Semester of my MTech. :) Its a tough, not so tough semester of the Mtech program,, but its rather the crucial one too. With Placements scheduled on this December and PPTs already began, its a high time to tie all the knots tightly.

So do u wana know how my time is getting passed these days?? After taking two of the toughest thought course this semester, I am really understanding whats streching the limits really is for any 6 credit course.. I am sure after the semester is over I will rejoice this 3rd semester of my MTech prog. as one of the best semester of my whole Engg. life.. :)

Thats all folks for know.. Have a lot of work for now.. Stay tuned.. I will be right back.
