56 Days Later.

Yeah so I am back after a long time, last I published was June 1st, I know, long time ago. Today’s 27th July, almost two months later after I am nearly done with my summer break and have completed a year of college, I can think of nothing to write, wow.

 

I had my final paper of 1st year on 9th July, marking the onset of my vacation.
All the time in this vacation I did was sleep, yeah I did plan to go out but rains in Kolhapur had different plans to not let me even step out. I started doing some competitive coding only to realise I need to sharpen my axe a hell lot more to progress. I am writing this sitting on my old desk with the song Machine by Imagine Dragons blasting on my headset and my mom cooking in the kitchen. Trust me, I had planned to write a lot in this vacation but my mind just couldn’t settle on anything, even writing this was an impulsive decision because I literally was running out of things to do!

 


(Oh, now its In The End by LinkinPark blasting, great song you know.)



I woke this morning reading some news, Jio plans to do a joint venture with BlackRock, I am sure many people know Jio, but very few might know BlackRock.
So what is BlackRock, it’s an American investment company based in NYC. Its right now world’s largest asset management with roughly $8.6 trillion, as of December 31, 2022. But, you can say that BlackRock literally owns the world, almost, why? It’s the major stakeholder in almost all the big corporations in the world along with Vanguard. What about the joint venture with Jio?






Well this is what BlackRock has to say

“Jio BlackRock brings BlackRock’s deep expertise and talent in investment management, risk management, product excellence, access to technology, operations, scale, and intellectual capital around markets, while JFS contributes local market knowledge, digital infrastructure capabilities and robust execution capabilities. Together, the partnership will introduce a new player to the India market with a unique combination of scope, scale, and resources. JFS and BlackRock are targeting initial investment of US$150 million each in the joint venture”

 



Interesting, what it seems to me as of now. There always had been a dire need of a good institutional firm and investment strategist for the people of India ( or should I say Bharat) . I hope this joint venture would fulfil the need.

 



(The rains now have intensified and its Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons now, hits different, wow.)

 

 

Seems there is some hot news in the superconductor space, I haven’t had a detailed look over it but it now seems that I need to, thanks to the memes and the hype on twitter. Also, twitter is something  I have started being hooked to recently, its not at all addictive, as of now though. I really wanna get back to college honestly, once you’ve been busy all day, being at home and doing nothing sucks at times, even if you spend time doing anything productive, the ambience matters. I guess its just too much randomness now, need to go.

Bye.

sting operation

 The title suggests something about which I might write something some time later. Its 10:21 AM on a Thursday morning, I just had a milkshake, the weather's chill, so thought lets write some stuff down. Im gonna go back to IIMN this summer, I plan to write daily stuff there, lets see how much can I live upto this word of mine. Kounde's matchday playlist blasting on my ears, ahh, clean stuff. My work this time is gonna be about extracting features from posts of a particular IG account and correlating with the engagement metrics. Tough job given how many features can be present and the accuracy with which I could potentially extract them, will have to design a pipeline for this, gonna be my first time working with ML pipelines and maybe even MLops.  The playlist is damn good, newfound love for J.Cole, and Metro Boomin, Dini and Dosseh.  I think I should maybe switch to some different site to publish my blogs, maybe some everyday logger if I can find.  Ah, gotta work so...

Where have I been?

I havent posted anything in a while, almost 9 months, or almost two semesters. Now, obviously nobody cares where have I been, its not like this blog has a zillion readers, but I would still like to go on. Its a Sunday almost noon, at the IISERB library first floor, which has been my go to place since past month due to the ridiculously irritating heat here, and what, maybe 500 others as well? Nevermind, coming back, I had not planned to write anything anytime soon, but I came here today, was feeling pretty bored, did some light work, which I think is gonna bite me back in the near future, anyways, I was just looking at the blog analytics, and thought, ah, lets give it a shot today, its been a long time we've written, so here I am, on it. I genuinely love the album - The Division Bell, 2011 remastered version of Pink Floyd, its pretty soothing and I am writing this as it plays. The past, almost a year has been pretty nice, especially my fifth semester, I realised what I wanna finally...

this sem is about to end.

We had our batch photo today, it was long overdue given how all my junior batches have had one; this idea struck to Aryan back when we used to see IISER Mohali peeps post their batch photos at the end of every year on Twitter, glad to see the culture has started here at IISERB as well. So, I am sitting in CCD, tired of studying NLP in library, well, not tired exactly, its just a lot to study in so less time. I actually had a thought today, of starting a technical blog, or maybe a finance blog, or maybe both, under the same banner name but two different blogs. I changed my blog title to 'everyday stuff' and blog address to 'markoveffect', by the way, I love the markov effect and its mathematical intricacies. I am pretty hungry but need to study as well, cant think of writing anything as of now, maybe continue tomorrow. Until then, bye.
