To make the maximum out of this cold weather, me and couple of friends decided to go to the ice skating. But before that we would need to eat something. So we decided to also visit a Gurdwara on the way and eat at the Langar. Gurdwara I had visited a few Gurdwara before but always with Sikh friends. This was the first time I was going with friends from other religions. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely comfortable, since I wasn’t sure myself on […]

Was it fun? Yes and No!! It is nice to have people home when I return from university at night. A late-night bus on an almost empty bus with some light music playing in my ear followed by a small banter with roommates marks the perfect end to my day. This week my roommates, all of them, including the German ones, were having a fun time in India. So I decided to have some fun on my own here […]
- [Sheep migration, Bamberg missing photo and more...](https://bharadwajls.space/life/sheep-migration-bamberg-missing-photo-and-more/): Studies have picked up pace and I also have more friends now. It gets difficult to find spare time. In the midst of the time crunch, is the Stomach! It demands food all the time. When it comes to food I was a pampered son, student, employee and husband. I never had to worry about food from my childhood through the education and then in my work places and finally at home. Food was always available cooked on my plate. Now, I think about the next meal before I finish the current. Honestly, it is not very bad. I feel […]

We have already made some good friends but we haven’t yet met outside the university so far. So we decided to go for a trek. And what better way to plan a trek than give the responsibility to the only German in our class. We chose him as the leader and he did an exceptional job as choosing the spot. There were caves, hills and beautiful autumn colors. We decided to go to Muggendorf which is 1 hr from Erlangen. We formed the WhatsApp group with 11 people who wanted to join. […]
- [Diwali Party](https://bharadwajls.space/life/diwali-party/): The Diwali party at my home marked exactly 1 month since I arrived to Germany. During this month, I was lucky to join a Hike, 2 potlucks and 1 very amazing Diwali party. My house mate (let’s call her Apurwa for the post) put in a lot of effort in making this a success. She invited around 30 of her friends — and me. Luckily for me, I happen to live here so I was unavoidably invited 😉. The preparations had started long before the party with meticulous planning for gifts and food. Every guest received a gift bag thoughtfully […]
- [Equivalent Complex Baseband](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/equivalent-complex-baseband/): Introduction This is a summary of the topic Equivalent complex representation. In this we discuss why we need such a representation. It is then followed by some more mathematical manipulation which makes it more convenient to generate and transmit signals. Finally we conclude the section with ECB signal and its interaction with Filters. Motivation When analyzing any digital communication modulation schemes it will be useful we can separate the modulation or the mixing of the carrier from the information itself. This allows us to analyze the modulation independent of the center frequency. This motivation drives us to use the Equivalent […]
- [Masters! Get set! Go!](https://bharadwajls.space/life/masters-get-set-go/): It has been nearly two weeks since the university has started. I am adjusting to the new normal. It is getting tough to find free time, but today I have some. I have started to get a feel for the way education works here. I experience plenty of differences, from the way the course is structured to the way the course is taught. Also, the tests are going to be different. So let’s start. Course Structure The course structure offers a lot of flexibility in the choice of subjects. This is both good and bad. The availability of so many […]

- [Follow this Blog](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/follow-this-blog/): I have been asked in the previous week on how to follow this blog. If you have found it useful there are two ways you can follow it. You can follow using RSS reader or using any social media that supports Fediverse. I thought about enabling email notifications but I now decided against it. For what I know one will surely start disliking the mails and it is bound to get ignored. I know because I do the same as well. RSS reader (Preferred) RSS readers are convenient ways to follow any website. To know more about it you can […]

There has been a lot of information flow and we are meeting and making new friends from various parts of the world. The whole feeling is so surreal. Sitting in the classrooms after so long feels so amazing and refreshing. Also, meeting people with whom I was only chatting for so many days also feels wonderful. Throughout the week, we have been repeatedly told how very hard it is going to balance the extremely challenging coursework, part-time job, social circle, clubs and hobbies. But the challenge is a welcome. […]

- [Bamberg](https://bharadwajls.space/life/bamberg/): Bamberg is a neighboring city of Erlangen. It is a UNESCO World heritage. I could have visited this place on any other day but I would have missed the Antique Market. This morning when my flatmate asked if I would like to join I said yes spontaneously and it turned out to be a good decision. Antikmarkt After a 40-min train ride we reached Bamberg station. The city felt busier as soon as we exited the station. A 10 min walk on the Luitpold Strasse – the main street right in front of the station, took us to the Luitpold […]

Especially this one focused on international community where mental well being and health is often neglected. Courtesy to this group I enjoyed a nice hike on the Happurg trail. A well organized hike with roughly 30 people. There were people from India, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Italy, Croatia, Tunisia and some more. This internation collection made the trek more interesting. The group gathered in the morning at the Nurnberg train station at 9.30 am. A half hour train ride took […]
- [City Registration](https://bharadwajls.space/life/city-registraion/): City registration is an essential part of living and working in Germany. I did my registration today at Erlangen. Lucky for me, my flatmate helped me do it. She accompanied me all the way to the Rathaus and waited for me. This Blog should guide you through the process in Erlangen. Pre requesites Before you go for the city registration you need to have the following documents Wohnungsgeberbestätigung: The word is a mouthful but it means Confirmation of residence form. It is not the same as the Rental Contract. I got both the documents together. Wohnungsgeberbestätigung looks like this. Process […]
- [T-0 : Takeoff](https://bharadwajls.space/life/t-0-takeoff/): Unlike many other changes, which often feel subtle this one has a clear demarcation. This flight journey  separates me and my family by 4.5 hrs, transforms me into a student once again , a foreigner living in a new country. I will soon be calling a new place my home for a couple of years. Of course, there is the sadness in leaving the loved ones behind. I felt the same when I left home for the first time 20 years ago. But now no one talks about it. So this too shall pass! Besides, some very young readers follow […]

Last Day at Bosch I was greeted with Gobi Paratha in the breakfast. It was as if Bosch was giving a farewell treat. I have written about my love for Parathas in Two Parathas and Pongal.

On my return journey from Goa to Bangalore I met this kid and his brother. We struck up a conversation. I still struggle with names up to a trillion. I would first divide the number of zeros with 3 and then determine the name of the number. The 7 year old boy on the other hand could tell me the name of any number up to 70 zeros promptly! I tried figuring out how he does that but he couldn’t say. I asked him if he memorized it or if he […]

First Failed Attempt! A lot of waterfalls form during rains in Goa. We both took my father’s motorbike and went to the waterfall which is just 3 kms from my house. Upon reaching there we found a board prohibiting anyone from going to the falls 😥. We clicked a few photos and then decided to go […]
- [Goa Monsoon Trip: Train to Goa](https://bharadwajls.space/life/ad-lib/goa-monsoon-trip-train-to-goa/): I took a new and convenient train route to Goa via Hubli. Hubli now has the world’s longest railway platform at 1.5 kms. I like traveling by train to Goa. But, the direct train to Goa from Bengaluru starts in the afternoon. Since it starts in the afternoon, it wastes half a day. This time I traveled to Hubli. There are a lot more trains to Hubli compared to Goa. The train I took departs at 11:45 pm on Friday. So, I could take the train after work. The train reached Hubli at 7:30 am in the morning. Hubli is […]

- [German: Beauty or the Beast?](https://bharadwajls.space/life/german-beauty-or-the-beast/): I started learning German. I realized it is a difficult language to learn. No, I am not talking about pronouncing the German R. That sounds like an angry beast inside the body trying to roar. Not that… I am talking about German sentences structures. Let me explain what I am trying to say with this example. Consider the following statement in English which makes good sense. A woman sang a baby a lullaby. Now the following doesn’t make logical sense but is grammatically correct. A baby sang a woman a lullaby. Finally, this permutation isn’t even right. A lullaby sang […]

The mailbox can be accessed using the web client at FAU Web Client.

Firstly, it remains always logged in, so, any new mail immediately triggers a notification. The email clients are much faster, integrates well with other tools and provides enhanced features like translations and spell checks etc. This guide provides steps to configure the Gmail client on […]

- [Canals and Locks](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/canals-and-locks/): This weekend I found myself reading about canals. This happened because I am moving to a place which has ‘Canal’ in its name. I did not pay much attention to it at first. I have seen many Canals in my lifetime. But, this one was different. I noticed something peculiar when researching the area on YouTube. I found this video and it made me realize how big it actually is. It then dawned on me that the canals I had seen so far were all irrigation canals. These irrigation canals were much narrower than the Europakanal. The water from these […]

- [Feedland: A Hidden Gem](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/feedland-hidden-gem/): As I was browsing the internet today I found a gem amidst the noise in the internet. I found a very useful service called Feedland. Lately, I am attempting to move away from the reels and short (aka. Brain Rots). I am instead trying to include slower forms of entertainment in my life – reading articles or watching long videos. Just recently I wrote a tutorial on RSS and some tools I have started using. You can read it here : RSS – Consume internet consciously. In it I mentioned a challenge of finding free RSS reader software that can […]
- [Sun, Mosquitoes and Photo Frame](https://bharadwajls.space/life/sun-mosquitoes-and-photo-frame/): I have had three sleepless nights. Every hour of lost sleep supposedly drops IQ points significantly. I don’t worry much about it since mine wasn’t a significant number to begin with. I am in one of the two places which I call as my hometown – Madurai. I have many childhood memories attached to this place. I like this place since it kindles those memories back to life. Divine food = More sleep ? The prime attraction here is the Meenakshi temple but my divinity is with the resturants around this area. The food here in Madurai is absolutely the […]
- [Watch Out! Watch On!](https://bharadwajls.space/life/watch-out-watch-on/): After an eager month-long wait, my gift to myself finally arrived — the legendary “Casio Royale”. I gifted myself a “Casio Royale” to celebrate the successful  outcome of the months of effort put into the admission process. It’s time to bid farewell to my old Casio F91w for the new upgrade, Casio AE1200. I still love digital watches. What is its super power? It tells time just like what a watch is supposed to. I got into the habit of always wearing my watch from my mom. Initially, I wanted to emulate her. Now it is so much of a […]
- [WG Application Guide](https://bharadwajls.space/life/wg-application-guide/): As of the time that I am writing this guide, I haven’t formally finalized any WG. But I am pretty close to it. Yes – I am still anxious. I have managed to get a few replies in spite of far fewer offers available due to my age. A lot of WGs have an age constraint so I am able to apply to only roughly 30 % of the total available WGs. Few people have contacted me asking how I am managing to apply and get replies. This blog might serve as a guide to those interested. If you are […]
- [House Hunting - II](https://bharadwajls.space/life/ad-lib/house-hunting-ii/): I had my interview and it was quite nice. If you don’t know what interview then read about it here – House Hunting! It was about time, and frankly, I was quite nervous. It had the mild adrenaline rush that one gets before interviews. I have come to appreciate it when I feel like this. It tells me I have prepared and I care. It was time and I did not get the call. After waiting for 7 extra minutes I messaged and then the video call happened. The call connected. There were nervous giggles on both sides. They were […]
- [House Hunting!](https://bharadwajls.space/life/ad-lib/house-hunting-or-indian-arranged-marriage/): Of course, there is no concept of arranged marriage in Western world. For Westerners who don’t understand arranged marriages, worry not, this is a quick primer for you. After the current experience of house hunting in Germany, I thank my stars that I did not have to go through arranged marriage. To understand why I say that let me explain the housing situation in Germany first. The Institutes have limited accomodation and they prefer to give it to Bachelor degree courses. This accounts for only 4,000 lucky students out of the 40,000+ students in the university. The city of Erlangen […]
- [RSS - Consume internet consciously](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/rss-consume-internet-consciously/): The world was changed by TikTok. Those short videos are wrecking havoc in my life. I am trying to free myself of this addiction. I hope I have found a solution. I will share the method with you. You can also try it in case you have same problems as I do. This blog is going to be long, so feel free to skip to the sections you find necessary. I will write about how “Shorts” have impacted my life. I see RSS as a solution. We will briefly discuss RSS before getting into my preferred tools. Finally, for people […]
- [Are we flexing on wrong things?](https://bharadwajls.space/life/are-we-flexing-on-wrong-things/): I overheard two kids in their second year of engineering for roughly 15 mins. Later, I contrasted it with the sort of talks grown ups have. This made me question: why there is such stark difference between the two? When does this change happen? Is it good? I was having dinner when I saw this lean boy wearing spectacles sitting there waiting for his dinner to arrive. He suddenly noticed his friend. They were meeting after a long time and they hadn’t seen each other for at least 1.5 years. I know this because the friend observed that the lean […]

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 […]
- [3rd bencher activated!](https://bharadwajls.space/life/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 […]

- [Two Parathas and Pongal](https://bharadwajls.space/life/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 […]
- [Sitting at a Barber shop anxiously](https://bharadwajls.space/life/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 […]
- [Shortlisted University List](https://bharadwajls.space/life/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 […]

My desire to pursue formal post graduation degree has been lingering ever since I graduated in 2010. I am currently looking forward to beginning this journey. It has been interesting so far.

I had been experimenting with it and have interfaced with SDCC compiler. CODE::BLOCKS automatically integrates with SDCC and it automatically fills in the necessary toolchain executables. So I will leave this part and jump directly to the steps for building the first project. Steps for configuring the first project (I am writing my first project on PIC18f2550): Go to File -> New -> Project and select an empty project. In the wizard which opens up click Next. The next screen prompts for the Project Title. Filling in a name will automatically fill […]
- [USBPICPROG Firmware Loading and programming](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/usbpicprog-firmware-loading-and-programming/): In the previous blog I had mentioned that I had completed the hardware but I was not able to test the hardware. I had to load the bootloader into the controller. I tried doing it with my serial programmer but for some reason it did not work. Luckily I had given another Ic to my friend who got it programmed for me. I plugged that IC in the hardware and the board worked like a charm. Upon connecting the jumpers as specified by the USBPICPROG website and connecting the USB to the USBPICPROG hardware with the software opened resulting in […]
- [USBPICPROG Hardware Ready..](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/usbpicprog-hardware-ready/): I finally got the things that I ordered for from the online shop last week. They took nearly 10 days to deliver the product. I have received all the items except there was one drill bit less. Guess they missed out on that. Rest of the things were in proper quantity. I would not mind it so much for in an order of Rs.1300, 10 bugs don’t matter much. But I would surely mind if the components fail. Last week as I was waiting for the hardware I read through the Zigbee protocol. I have read the PHY and the […]
- [Online Components Shops -- India](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/online-components-shops/): I surveyed a lot of online shops today in my country. I was looking for shops that sells Electronic Components at cheap rates. I got the following list of sites. This is surely not exhaustive but are the ones that I thought were good: S.No Website Pricing Availability Remark 1 http://www.electroncomponents.com/ High Low   2 http://www.evelta.com/ Very Low Med Good Site 3 http://hobby2go.com/ Very High     4 http://in.element14.com/ High Very High Bad website for small Purchase. 5 http://www.onlinetps.com/ Very Low High Good Site 6 http://www.digikey.in/ Low Very High Wholesale 7 www.vishaworld.com/ Med Med Slow Website 8 http://tronixkart.co/ High Low […]
- [Engineer's Notebook](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/engineers-notebook/): This is not any kind of notebook. This is something special. I did not know about it till the weekend until I read about. We Indians are always poor at recording and documenting things. I always wondered what is it that should actually be documented and what are the things that has to be left out. Should merely the working ways be documented or failures also? When should the documentation be actually done? If I document the experiment after I have done it I would always end up writing only the things that worked as there would be so much […]
- [Best way to install SDCC](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/best-way-to-instal-sdcc/): I have previously posted a blog on how I was able to install the sdcc compiler. In that blog I had used the Ubuntu’s software center to install the software. But it comes with its share of problems:a It does not contain the header files for PIC It misses libraries for PIC As the version is old it does not support all the controllers that the latest version of SDCC supports. I was trying to install the libraries alone but the problem was apt-get will not track it. Looking for a software that would do the job led me to […]
- [Quaternion Basics and Quaternion Operations](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/quaternion-basics-and-quaternion-operations/): Quaternions serve as a valuable tool for representing rotations. To grasp their utility and applications effectively, it's essential to establish a foundational understanding of quaternion basics.
- [Simple Matar Paneer](https://bharadwajls.space/food/simple-matar-paneer/): Matar paneer is a tasty and popular north India dish. It is tasty and easy to cook and ready to be served with rice or roti. This a less spicy variant of the matar panner. It is easy to cook and always turns out to be amazing.

- [Quaternion Basics](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/quaternion/): Motivation The orientation of any object can be represented in a number of ways: Each of the methods have its own merits and demerits. We shall focus here on Quaternions. When using quaternions to describe a rotations, it enjoys the following benifits compared to the other methods: The only downside of this representation is that it might lack intuitiveness. In this system the rotation is give as a single rotation around an axis as compared to a sequence of 3 rotations in the case of other two methods History Quaternions were developed by Willain Rowan Hamilton in 1843. His interests […]
- [Linux Guide to using SDCC compilers for PIC microcontroller](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/sdcc-and-pic18f2550-program-compilation/): SDCC or Small device C compiler is an amazing open source compiler. This guide covers the necessary steps needed to setup the SDCC compiler for PIC microcontroller. SDCC has several benefits over the commercial licensed compilers. Firstly, It is free. Secondly, SDCC is retargetable compiler. That is, a wide range of controllers can be compiled using the same compiler. So, once you get comfortable with this compiler it becomes easier to switch between controllers.  The only downside of SDCC is that there is a slight learning curve in order to set the compiler. But worry not. This guide will also […]
- [Steps to USBPICPROG firmware loading](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/steps-to-usbpicprog-firmware-loading/): Steps to load the firmware first time: Load the bootloader using a serial programmer into the PIC and insert the programmed PIC into the hardware. Insert the first jumper between the first and the second pin as shown in the help of the PC software and connect the USB. The software should detect the hardware and should show that the bootloader has been connected. Open the firmware hex file to load and click on program. The hardware will self program. Connect the second jumper between the 4th and 5th pins and reinsert the USB. The software will now detect the […]
- [PCB Etching using Peroxide and HCl](https://bharadwajls.space/tech/pcb-etching/): Home PCB etching is a cost-effective approach for creating PCB prototypes in a domestic setting, and it’s a fundamental skill for any hobbyist. One can employ two primary chemical etching methods for PCBs at home. The traditional method employs Ferric chloride, which tends to create stains and can be messy. On the other hand, the alternative method involves using Hydrochloric acid and Peroxide, offering a faster and cleaner approach without leaving any stains. This blog explains the toner transfer method of PCB etching using Hydrochloric acid for etching. For the sake of this blog, I assume that the PCB has […]
