I am back with a good news
It has been over a month that I am writing a blog. I am just too lazy to do things. Entire November was blogless for my research diary. What did I do this month. Well, here is the recap.
I presented a paper on "Semantic Information Evolution" at St. Louis conference on Nov 8th. St. Louis is a nice place. It was good learning experience for me to present first research paper out of my university. People from all over the world are present to express their views/ share research work with one another. There is a little sense of ego and pretension which I could sense but I was actually expecting it would a lot worst. With knowledge humble heart is necessary but most of the times it is the egoistic hardened views that prevail. I hope and pray I do not end up like that.
Anyways, after the conference I worked on my research proposal. Before thanksgiving break I had finished couple of revisions of this draft. My initial draft of proposal was really badly organized and Dr. Bayrak had to give me inputs in order for me to improve it. Subhashish dada, my brother-in-law helped me get it into shape where I could get Dr. Bayrak's approval.
Early December i.e. around 5th of December I got feedback from Dr. Bayrak approving the proposal. That meant that I need to give a hard-copy in a folder to all the committe members and see if they would have some free time for me to present this proposal before Fall 2004 semseter end. As it turns out, I presented the proposal on December 10, 2004 at 10:00 AM. It was anxious moments for me as I was not sure how the committe members would take it.
I am going to write a separate blog-post on how committee members found my dissertation proposal and also my thoughts on some of those issues. But to keep it short here, the proposal has been accepted and few suggestions have been made by the doctoral advisory committee that I will discuss with Dr. Bayrak in coming days.
