I received my MS degree from BITS Pilani today. Wow! I am now qualified to do more, I feel so energized. As I am writing this blog, I look at the pile of books of my M.S. curriculum and the dissertation report of the final semester. Flashing in front of my eyes are my last minute attempts to read up a whole book in a week, my stupidity in believing that an open book examination can be passed by carrying along enough books.
Anyhow, that is the past and I learnt a lot from it. As I sit here and examine the past, I know that the process of learning never ends, but learning the same thing is rarely fun (a.k.a repeating your mistakes). But as my copy of Don Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming tells me, I'll never learn anything at once, I'll need to learn somethings during the next reading; I realize that I've just completed a small milestone in a long journey.

Phani,
Next is work, work, life and more life. Time has passed so quickly, though I still remembering struggling to read through the course material at-least once and coming back home and repenting what I did in the exam :-)

I have some books, but the subjects and syllabi keep changing quite frequently. I did not make much use of the course material provided by the instructors. All though, I realized much later that it is very very important to look at them.
By course materials you mean the Virtual univ link is it. do you have any soft copy of any docs..i am really finding it difficult to read from the text books. My email..nischal33@gmail.com.
Thanks,
