Day 12

Day 12 (20th December)

Today was a writing day. Sowing the seeds for 2019. A new monthly column on Artificial Intelligence. Had started on it 2 weeks ago and then went into a limbo. Have been trying to revive it since last 2 days. Put my head down today and finished it. US government's Material Genome Initiative paved the way for the entry of AI-based software developers into materials discovery. The mission of MGI is to develop and deploy advanced materials at least twice as fast as possible today at a fraction of the cost. 

To continue looking back at 2018, it was a fantastic year for films. Binged at 2 festivals - MIFF and MAMI. 15 films at MIFF and 18 movies at MAMI. Plus there were monthly films at the Bhau Daji Lad Museum and the Express Film Club.

Day 74

Day 74 (19 th October) I have a lot to write about today, but in no frame of mind to write now after watching visuals of the Amritsar train tragedy. Such mindless tragedies are waiting to happen across the country. We continue to treat human lives with utter callousness. A tragedy on a festive occasion is doubly disturbing.

Day 78

Day 78 (15th October) I had a lot on my plate today but returned home to a non-responsive computer. The frustration mounted as I kept attempting to revive it. Technical Support numbers were non-existent. And I had almost reconciled to replacing a crashed harddisk. But just few minutes before the computer has risen like a Phoenix. It is time to take the warnings seriously and do some proactive maintenance. 

Day 81

Day 81 (12th October) The class was more attentive than usual today. I am happy that my homework yesterday paid dividends. I am visiting my son in Bangalore, but already thinking about Monday's lecture.
