My time at IIMN - Sentdex


So now, yeah, where were we? Oh yeah, I was just done with gulping down those amazing sandwiches on the first day, and was done bathing twice.


I was calling home and to my friends to show them the campus and how posh it was, I was too tired as well so I did catch up on some sleep. I did some preliminary work before I was going to meet the professor under whom I was gonna work, two days later.
I was also panicking because I could catch no internet inside the room, well, here comes the classic me – I dig up the number of the IT head, called him at 7 in the evening, pestered him to find me some way to connect to the wifi, finally he agreed to give me the guest credentials.

How did I find his number? Well, while I was in the mess, I saw a group of men, probably in their thirties, fit, sharp looking, dressed in sports attire, yet looking fresh, arrive, I immediately figured out, it’s the armed forces, and I was right, it was the navy men here for some training, the extrovert me, went on to talk to one of them, had a chat, and asked about stuff in the campus, and he gave the IT guy’s number, well, being able to talk to anybody anytime helps.

 

So, okay, I am back at writing after a long break of 4 hours, why? Well, I got caught up in some work on the project I am working, its gonna be a hell of a time, I just realised, whatever I have done till now is nothing, the real grind shall confer upon me from now, from today, twelfth July, tonight might be sleepless.

 

Coming back to the story – Now, its dark and I am connected to the the super fast IIMN wifi, but only my laptop, will have to connect phone using the hotspot from lappy.
With the newfound speed and volume of internet, I fired youtube and started watching some Sentdex NLP videos.
Have to give it to him, Sentdex is one of the most useful resources in the niche, simply mind blowing.

I love Sentdex.

I think its gonna be time for dinner, should I upload this?

Well, let me just do it, will be back soon.

 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.
