My First Published IEEE Paper

The title does not mean that I have a second IEEE Paper. I have one and below is the link -

Click to read the abstract of my IEEE Paper

Name of Paper:
QCA based Multiplexing of 16 Arithmetic & Logical Subsystems-A paradigm for Nano Computing

Authors:
Myself-Satish, Santhosh Kasavajjala, Vishnu

Area:
Nano-Electronics

Theme and Idea:
Realizing Digital Systems like ALUs at Nano level.

ISBN: 978-1-4244-1908-1

My Take:
  • IEEE paper is a deal, not a very big deal
  • Decent Innovative Ideas are well accepted by IEEE
  • Your Paper or work need not match the standards like "Invention of Transistor"
  • You loose the phobia of Technical Papers, moreover you are not apprehensive and psyched when somebody says - "That Professor has 100 IEEE papers ". I am just 99 away.

Finally,

I joined the IEEE Elite group of Authors - William Shockley, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and Satish Polisetti :)
So how far am I from a Nobel Prize?

Ride to Devarayanadurga - Drive Click Hungry

You are pissed enough with riding through the traffic of Bangalore, but with the persistent pressure of my BITS roommate - Vamsi, we backed our first ride to Nandi Hills with the second to Devarayanadurga.

The total drama can be broken into three stages - Drive, Click and Hungry :)

Curtains Rise - Scene 1 - Drive
5 Bitsians and 2 non Bitsians started around 5:00 AM in the morning and hit NH4. Rain, Trucks played the spoilsport. We went on, via Yeshwantpur to Dasarahalli to Tumkur Road. After reaching Dobbaspet, it is better to inquire from the locals for the directions. Honestly, we took all bakwas route through forests to reach the destination.



Scene 2 - Click
One sole advantage was a small hilltop in this way - which had steps carved, statues n small temple. As usual, time for flashes and poses.
We reached the destination and spent some time moving around and taking pictures each destined for Orkut, Facebook, Blogs etc.


Scene 3 - Hungry
Things got worse on our way back to the city. Traffic, muddy roads and to add, we did not know the route to take. With no breakfast our bellies were craving for food. The first rice particle entered our oesophagus pipe when clock ticked 2:30 PM.
