NEWS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
hey alllllll
quite a few days without blogging.. i was busy reading for my Last/Final exam for my Master's program which was on Friday. Before I get to it, been a long 2 weeks for the preparation, 25 lectures, 1200 slides, 12 book chapters :-)) .. And since coming back from US, it's my first major exam, which means after almost 18 months.
But I enjoyed studying it, even thou I didn't need to give it as per requirements, but i wanted it in my course-work, it was on "Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics".
So before boring you more, and getting to the NEWS of the year (for my life offcourse). I gave the exam on friday and hip hip hurray, cleared it with an awesome grade.
And IT COMPLETES MY MASTERS :-)), which means I would officially now have an International Master of Science in Computational Science and Engineering degree from TU-Munich... yupppp ;-)
I am happy about it and all the decisions, hardships, living away from home, n everything else (good and bad) which I had to go thru', came to this country (Dankeshoen Deutschland), to get a good education and degree which is finally achieved. I even had to prolong it for my SCR internship for 1 year, which was big decision also for me, but now I am satisfied with all my decisions in last few years I had to made. :-)
I wrote an Acknowledgement to thank each and everyone of you who made an impact on my life in these year (also included in my thesis):
I would sincerely like to thank Prof. Dr. Stefan Kramer for expressing his interest in supervising my work and supplied me with his valuable guidance and supported to help me to complete my work.
I would like to thank Dr. Bernd Wachmann, my supervisor at SCR, for all his suggestions and constant support during my entire research work and giving me guidance in every step. I am also thankful to Dr. Claus Neubauer for giving me the opportunity to work at SCR.
I also had the pleasure of working with, Dr. John Chuo and Dr. Steven Choi, from RWJ Hospital during the time of working on this thesis and there invaluable comments and support provided during the entire course of my project is indispensable. The medical data provided by them was crucial for my thesis and overall project work.
Here, I must also thank my graduate studies coordinators, Dr. Michael Bader, Prof. Christoph Zenger, for providing me with the best environment to study at TU Munich.
And of course, I am grateful to my parents and my brother for their constant love, patience, and support and believing in me throughout my studies.
Also special thanks to, N Gaur and D Gaur, for being so helpful and supporting me during my studies.
Finally, I wish to thank my friends all over the world: Anja, Claudia, Meltem, Silvia, Sebastian P., Grace, Geri, Zak, PA, Bjoern, Winy, Nat, Laura, Sebastian D, Andreas E (for all the good and bad times we shared and for being there to support during all times); Hans, Karl, Stephan, Thomas, Na, Julien E, Brad (invaluable team members at IVR); Bhavish, Bindia (back home); Rikki, Pae, Les, Srdjee, Anil, Konstantinos, Ahmed (for the wonderful time we had during our studies).
Sorry if I forgot someone, but I thank each n everyone of you, even if it might have been a short time we shar'd.
An important milestone of my life with all the exprienences.
Thanks ALL

END
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend
The end of our elaborate plans,
The end of everything that stands, The end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes...again
picture what will be, so limitless and free
desperately in need of some stranger's hand, in a desperate land
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Munich 04.03.2006
After 2 days, 40 cms, 15 inch's of snow n more snow.. one can't miss how beautiful Munich looks :-).. Even thou all on-street public transport was not working, and no under-ground station near my home, I decided to still go out and walk a bit and my walk went all the way to hauptbahnhof to marienplatz to Olympiapark (by U-Bahn) and back home. But i tru'ly enjoyed the view, people skiing and snowboarding at Olympiapark hill, children sliding, snow-mans all around city, cars covered with snow, .. enjoy the pics at Flickr

GMail - First Sign of Annoyance
ok, since google announced this chat n mail merger; the gmail interface has started to annoy me a bit; I mean its still cool but the new stuff they introduced is kinda annoying me, like
1) the pop up whenever my mouse moves over any name anywhere on the screen and shows me options about mail n chat n other; please i know what to do and no need to show options everytime for un-necessary stuff
2) secondly its a mail program; not a chat machine; it is great option but somehow its annoying me and make me feel like its a chat program now and instead of sending mail, lets chat :-) but its not possible always, which is a good, :-)).. hope i get over this and get used to it
Please let's keep it SIMPLE.. (for the time being, i hav disabled all of them and stick'd to the old version without annoying pop-ups & chat)
3) Finally, not related to gmail but Google Desktop 3, which has this feature where they make copies of the documents indexed so that they can be shared or searched over different machines; Beware people, it can make your private documents "not so private". But Gott sake, its an option and not by default.

Destinations: Taj Mahal; Monkey Room; Schall und Rauch; The Atomic Cafe
Servus,
as you all knw, i am done with the thesis submition, and NOW back to my blogsphere; even thou after the whole week of sleepless nights, we decided to go out and celebrate a bit: me, gr, rj, br, gr (keine deutsche)
Normally i don't write abt food and resturants; further i don't trust the Indian Res. here, they are ok, but most of times, I don't like going to them. But we still end up going to them, so our friday evening celebrations started with going to an Indian Res. called "Taj Mahal" in an unknown corner of Munich, took more than hour to reach there and i was totally sure that its gonna be same exprience as always, and the board outside said "neugeöffnet", newly opened :-|.. we went in, nice decor, good service, got seated, ordered drinks and appetizers, and then food, and i MUST say the food was AWESOME, and I def. recommend everyone in Munich to visit the place; its not very expensive; xtrmly-good service; and Good Food.
Next, we decided to meet up at our actual decided destination, called "Monkey Room" in "schwabing" city centre; again treated with excellent decor, but the lounge room was closed (strange for friday evening), but we decided to stay there for while as some friends were hungry. And as per there recommendation now, the food was again xtrmly good; we already had eaten too much, i cud hardly finish my drink; Here is the second recommendation for the day, visit the place, they have 1-4 course meals, but worth trying.
Finally, gr joined us, but we had decided to move to more crowded place (as there were very few monkeys in Monkey Room); & everyone now knows i totally s*** in making decision about where to go next; after discussing all possibilties we ended up in a bar on next street, called "Schall und Rauch" - sound and smoke, actually i hav passed this place hundred times but never been there and its always packed to death anytime of the day; but we managed to got hold of corner in there; with the f$%&§$ heater under the seats. No drinks, i was still full with the good indian food. We stayed there for while, good music and quite fun, but there was not single good bare back in there; and in the end this guy who was checking either br. or rj. totally; its was f*%&*$ hilarious; anyway he was disappointed and left. Nothing to recommend but ok place.
Gr. left, but we were still not done; so we headed for our final destination, "The Atomic Cafe", never been there but it has quite good reviews from everyone, pretty good atmosphere´in there, some nice bare´s; f*%$&? good music, but didn't stay long, and decided to call it a night; i was totally out by then..
So thats the four recommendations for everyone in Munich to check out;
enjoy the weekend

ANNOUNCEMENT: Since i am back, from tomorrow, I am starting a special one month long (5th Feb to 5th Mar); "trivialspace-fotografi"; special foto blog on Munich; n Xtra Stuff
