Hi Navin,

Allow me to network with you!

Currently, I am wrapping up my on-going research work on Foundations of QM within about a month's time. I've been generally thinking of it for decades, and have definitely been seriously working on it, part-time, for 1.5 decades. ... This research has never been sponsored by any one (person/organization), but I recognize that if my new approach and the results I got with it turn out to be valid---and I think they should---then it should make for a magnum opus of sorts for me. That's why, I am intent on finishing it ASAP---even if I have been going jobless for almost 3 years by now.

So, once the QM research is wrapped up, I too would be very actively looking for a job, but only in Data Science and only in Pune. My CV (available off Naukri.com, or send email to yahoo.co.in with ID a j 1 7 5 t p (no spaces)) does note that I got 4th rank in the world on the most widely studied problem of ML/DL, viz., the MNIST benchmark. I was the first Indian, to my knowledge, to break in the top 20 list, ever. (PhD students have been burning the midnight oil on this problem for some 3 decades.)

And no, getting a great research result does not automatically disqualify me from "practical", "business-related", "practical" jobs either. [Indeed, if your network thinks it does, then let me hasten to update the connectivity matrix with entry for my person deleted. (One row and one column less for you all, then!). ... But I am not in a hurry to do that...]

So... May I now hope that the network will work---*for* me, too!

Best,

--Ajit

PS: No, I won't change. I won't artificially force myself to write "short and sweet" replies, even if such a thing be necessary for The Network. [Else...]

PPS: As I noted on my blog a couple of posts ago, I too "like" the "सुन रुबिया" song!
