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.

Days 31 -33

Day 33 (29th November) Corrected the Quiz. It provided an insight into how I should set the question paper for the final exam. Not all students are comfortable with numericals. Just hours before boarding the train, a fresh round of anxiety invaded my mind. Day 32 (30th November) A day spent in the train, anxious and stressed. Formulated the question paper to relieve my stress. Day 31 (1st December) Almost miraculously, the obstacles got cleared and we closed the deal. Huge day. Visited temples to offer thanks and celebrated at a quaint cafe.

Day11

Day 11 (21st December)  Mailed the AI column. Looking for a title. Asked twitter, but got no response. I have couple of ideas in mind and will choose one.  Received a proper consulting request. Well more or less. Responded tersely because I am not desperate. Meeting with good friend at a bar that serves exotic craft beers. The place was overrun by women in early 40s celebrating silver jubilee of their class reunion. Almost all of them were surprisingly trim.
