I went to Cambridge again this week from Monday (16/06/08) to Wednesday (18/06/08). My Cambridge email id is working now ( sa225@cam.ac.uk ) . Our collaborative work has advanced and I got something to work on during the summer. The driving to Cambridge was eventful as the front left tyre of my car busted in the motorway M4 just before Bristol. I had to change three tyres in Cambridge. I also went to house of an old friend for a dinner.

I was in Cambridge from Monday (09/06/08) to Wednesday (11/06/08) as a part of my official visitor appointment at the Engineering Department till the end of 2008. I went to Cambridge after a long time (last time I was in Cambridge was in January 2005). It was nice to go back and meet few old friends. I am also a visiting Fellow in a Cambridge college. The support and resources provided by the college is absolutely crucial, especially as a visitor. The collaborations look promising and I hope we can do some good research work during my visit.
