  • Fictional Conversation between a Husband and a Wife

    Fictional Conversation between a Husband and a Wife

    This is a completely fictional conversation between a Husband [H] and Wife [W]. H loves W a lot and has never seen a lady more hardworking than his W and mother (H wants to be safe with that statement).

    H was busy attending a meeting and W enters house after a long days work. W cooks every day for both of them. They don’t have a cook because H doesn’t like having one. Ironically H can’t cook either.

    Time is 8pm and H is hungry. His plan is to eat out after the meeting.

    Strike 1

    W: Shall I cook something?

    H (in between meeting): What? (sign language)

    W: Ven Pongal (don’t know Ven Pongal? Click on Ven Pongal)

    H: 👍️

    Strike 2

    Hungry H: Why is this pongal looking so mushy!

    W: May be I added more water. But I like it like this.

    H (Lil disappointed as the texture is not appealing): Hmm…

    W: Let’s eat in one plate.

    H: Sure.

    H tastes the food and it tastes so weird.

    H: Why is it different? Did you follow the recipe?

    W: Ofcourse

    H (Tastes again and thinks out aloud): I think there is more Dal.

    H checks the recipe.

    H: Did you add Dal in 1:4 ratio

    W: No I added more Dal.

    H: Then why do you have to follow the recipe?

    W (now slightly angry): It is good only. I like.

    H: But it doesn’t taste like Ven Pongal. Can you please make me an omlette. I can’t eat it.

    Loving W who is slightly angry and doesnt want husband to go hungry: Sure

    H eats omlette and leaves pongal on plate.

    Strike 3

    H: Shall we go for a walk?

    W: No. Don’t want to.

    H: Please

    W (reluctantly): Ok

    H and W generally go for a walk late at night. H likes to drink cold lemon soda everyday during the night walk (Sounds l’il crazy). W prepares lime juice adds salts and pours it into the soda bottle. They carry it outside for a walk

    They are having a normal walk when W gets a call. Starts recounting her day on the phone

    W (on Phone): Bla Bla Bla

    W (on Phone): Bla Bla Bla

    W (on Phone): Bla Bla Bla… I cooked Ven Pongal… Bla Bla Bla

    H (who is more intersted in the call than his own life, whispers): Don’t call it ven pongal

    W (continues on Phone): Bla Bla Bla

    W (continues on Phone): Bla Bla Bla. Ha ha ha…

    Hangs up

    W (Now angry suddenly): This is why I did not want to come.

    H (has forgotten about Ven pongal comment): Why?

    W: You never stop complaining. You have to keep ranting for the slightest problem. Don’t you know how tired I am. I have been putting up with long days. I still come back and cook for you. [W is now visibly more angry]. Tomorrow onwards you cook for yourself I will cook for myself….

    H doesn’t dare to open his mouth. He has stopped listening midway. He knows the summary of the rest of the conversation and doesn’t think it is necessary to know more details. He maintains silence till things cool down and the thought of not cooking for H fades away.

    … Things are now cool and they are having a normal conversation.

    H: Bla Bla Bla

    W: Bla Bla Bla

    H: But if you were tired we could have just gone out.

    W: You don’t understand

    H (trying to clarify): If you were tired we could have gone out. If you were anyways cooking you could have just maintained the ratio….. (last words before the Big Bang)

    This is not me and my wife🤪 ! My wife cooks well…

  • 3rd bencher activated!

    3rd bencher activated!

    Some of you might know that I will be restarting my student life again – I had my first class today!

    I am also writing about how I managed to land an admit at FAU Erlangen. You should find the link somewhere here. I am pretty unorganized right now. The work is still in progress. In fact, this blog started as a recipe book for myself and now we have this what you are reading.

    But I digress. So, coming back, I had my first official meeting with the batch. The Semester starts in October. Today, was an information session to ease the onboarding.

    It was conducted by the course coordinator. The meeting was 1.5 hr long. It covered topics that would take me from here to the door steps of the University. Everything from local transport details, tickets, student’s pass to finding accomodation was covered. It was impressive to experience German eye for detail.

    It felt nice to be back with the students. I have a feeling I am the eldest of all. But I could still feel my inner 3rd bencher getting activated.

    As a rule of 3rd bencher, I am not the one who initiates questions. Those are the jobs of the first bencher, the annoying ones. As a 3rd bencher my job is to cover all those questions that are thrown at us.

    To give an example what I mean. If someone asks “Am I audible” I give 3 secs pause. Give the first benchers their chance. And then I kick in. I answer “Yes”. I hope you get the gist.

    Meeting the batch virtually on the online meet gave me the thrill of starting a new phase of life. There were 22 students in the batch. I hear some may not enroll. So our final batch strength might drop to 17 to 20.

    The meeting had the same energy of a new whatsapp group. It might die down with time. We could hear some fellow students who spoke. Ofcourse, I spoke too. I told them I can hear her.

    Takeaways from the meetings were:

    1. Finding Accomodation is going to be a nightmare
    2. The course is going to be challenging.

    I have decided to choose accomodation as my next topic to loose my sleep over.

  • Two Parathas and Pongal

    Two Parathas and Pongal

    I am generally early to the office. Around 8ish. Today I am here earlier. It helps me beat the traffic and gives me some alone time at the cafeteria. I am generally accompanied by a friend at breakfast but since I am earlier than usual I came here alone.

    Today I was greeted at breakfast with the best  menu company has to offer, methi paratha and Pongal. Pongal vada takes a close second place on my list. Actually until last year it used to be aloo paratha which is now replaced with Methi Parathas. Back then Parathas were a clear winner. I would have actually rated the methi paratha after pongal vada, but the company gives Pongal also with methi paratha. So I declare today’s menu a winner.

    So, after a nice breakfast accompanied with a steaming lemon tea, I wait to see if my friend will join. The weather is pleasant, slightly chill and windy, so I won’t mind sitting here some more time. Today our top boss is here in Bangalore so I am sure he will come. But I don’t know if he will come to breakfast. I will wait some more and then start with my work. I hope the rest of the day is as good as the start.

  • Sitting at a Barber shop anxiously

    Sitting at a Barber shop anxiously

    Right now I am anxious because of a small boy. We are both next in line at the barber shop. Practically me before him. He is checking inside the barber shop every 30 seconds. I am doing it but not as apparently as he is. I wish I can do it too unless the barber thinks he arrived here before me.

    There are two barbers. One has shaved the head of his customer clean and now is making minor adjustments to his beard. The other guy, my guy, for whom I travelled 2 kms from home is also finishing up with his customer.

    Now I am growing impatient because, kids are shameless. He will try to cut the queue and depending on who finishes first he might get my guy. Then I will have to tell the other guy I am not interested in getting my hair cut by him. This is not only rude but it would also mean I will have to let the next customer in queue before me.

    After some time….

    I am writing now after my hair cut. As I was typing those thoughts, my guy finished. Now if it was the other guy then I would have simply allowed the kid pass. Since my guy finished first I had to challenge the kids bold move of cutting in.

    I stood there beside him. Both of us waiting for a verdict from the barber. My guy started at us, first him and then me. My heart sank and then he called me. He showed the kid his place. That’s why I like this guy. He is just!

    My guy, is the owner of this shop. Mid 40s may be. I like him because he knows only one way to cut hair. I have tried a few different instructions and found that it always ended the same. It is either his skill or my hair. Anyways, I have grown to like it. I don’t explain anything to him just sit and relax. Within a few minutes he completes his job and ends the cut with a short head massage.

    So, I have the same cut again. Paid him a hundred. My guy didn’t disappoint me. I thanked, I left.

    PS: I also got to sit on the new sofa. A new upgrade that my guy made. The kid, he sat on the regular chair.

  • Shortlisted University List

    Shortlisted University List

    There are a lot of universities to choose from. After many hours of scavenging through their websites I built a table with important details like their selection criteria, course start date, Application start date etc. This is an important step since universities have different application dates and it would be disappointing to miss applying due to carelessness on such trivial detail. Read ahead to see how I built an initial list and then filtered to the final list application list.

    Preliminary University List

    This is a list of universities which have AI, Data science and Signal processing related courses in English. This is filtered from the DAAD website. It has a comprehensive list of all universities with many convenient filters. I have tried to capture the degree name, University, tution fees, Minimum number of semesters in the course, starting semester and the apporximate ranking. The ranks are a mix of QS, THE and Shangai. I wasn’t very particular on which rank is used. They are generally close by in all three rankings

    Universities with Signal Processing courses

    Here I have taken all the courses which has signal processing as its major subject. Of these of special interest are the Electrical Engineering at Uni of Stuttgart and CME at FAU. These courses offer course choices which are completely focused on signal processing. Other courses have some communication subject like microwave in their mandatory subject list. Since my focus is Signal processing I was more eager to get into these courses.

    I have also tried to capture the 3 rankings THE, QS and Shangai separately. I have also marked among other things the qualifying criteria.

    Final Shortlist

    I finally removed some more universities from the short list. Firstly, I removed TUM since it has 6000 Eur Tuition fees. I wouldn’t want to pay that as I would get similar quality of education from other universities for a much lower price. I also removed RWTH Aachen as it is the only university requiring GRE. I didn’t want to prepare for this test for just one university. I kept Ilmenau, Kassal and Chemnitz as backup. These don’t offer much flexibility in terms of electives.
