First few days at MIT...

Well, I arrived at my dream workplace many days ago. Truth be told, I was walking in awe staring at anything and everything in sight! The MIT culture is so very different. Geeks? Yes, but there is a lot more to it. Personally, what I found is kind of paradoxical. It almost seemed that people in my group do not work as hard as one might expect people at MIT to do, but hey, somehow research really got done and got done well. How is that possible? Somehow, it has to do with the quality of time and effort combined with the quality of ideas emanating from the faculty and research staff.

Anyways, enough about MIT lest I get branded as a pompous big mouth. I have settled down well and am thinking of smoking a pipe, a desire I have had since my days in England. Ciggarettes are anyways too expensive in Massachusetts! Why not quit? Not now!

Before I start writing more crap, let me quit for the day and come back later and post better comments...

Ready to move!

Yes, after many months of wrapping things up at Georgia Tech, I am ready to now move on to a new position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Am I excited? You bet. But also apprehensive of the pressures on the job. Anyways, take life as it comes is the lesson that has newly dawned on me!
