Algorithms and Bicycles

Yes, it is the day. And I celebrated it by riding my bike for 15 minutes this morning. Rock Creek to Coalton Rd to McCaslin Blvd and back on to Rock Creek. Three miles in all.

There is an element of fear now while going downhill. I suppose that is natural.

The last one month of physical inactivity became a blessing in disguise as I rediscoverd my passion for, well, what else, fast numerical algorithms and mathematics. I have read several technical papers, reviewed some areas in math which were becoming a little rusty and so on. I am working on a paper and will be commenting it on the next couple of days under electromagnetics.

So here I was, lying on the road, with my head and neck supported by the warm and soft hands of a kind woman. Sun was blazing into my eyes, as if someone had placed a powerful lens between my eyes and the sun. And I was trying to assess the damages. (more…)

This wasn’t supposed to be a rest day. I was scheduled to go for a long and tough ride, possibly the Superior-Boulder-Ward-Nederland-Rollinsville-Golden Gate Canyon-Superior loop, with Brendan and Rick, as one of the last long rides before the Triple Bypass. But ignoring the warnings from creaking joints and aching limbs, I played cricket yesterday and paid the price. Like a cruel punishment, pulled the hamstring while running:) So I had no choice but to stay at home and watch television. But the good news is that I did bat reasonably well [to my standards, that is].
So, after watching Broken Trail, an AMC movie starring Robert Duvall, I had nothing else to do and decided to play with WordPress to see if I can also become a citizen of the ‘blogosphere.’ It does not seem all that difficult.

So this is my first post, possibly not to be viewed by anyone ever:)
