P J Narayanan

The little joys of ones life!!!

Long time ago(About 3.5 years back), there was this restless undergraduate student at IITMadras whose name was Ashok Narayanan. He was then fascinated by two fields. One was wireless communication and the other was this artificial world of Robotics. He wished to explore this field further when he applied for a summer internhip at Center For Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR ) in Bangalore. He greatly admired this researcher called P J Narayanan who was then at CAIR and doing COOL STUFF (actually really Cool stuff) with Robots. Therefore it was to his great joy when he did get an intern opportunity at CAIR. But unfortunately as fate would have it, his work ws in the Signal Processing lab. During his short stay at CAIR he spent some time looking up at all those cool Robots in P J Narayanas lab. In fact he still remembers how he highly recommended CAIR (and of crse PJ Narayans work ) to his dear friend Manjari. (Yes...Its been a long time since i talked to her...I should I should talk to her soon).

Today accidentally he discovered something. He discovered that P J Narayanan is an alumni from the same Research lab where he is now doing his PhD. YES. PJ Narayanan worked with Larry Davis at Center for Automation Research at University of Maryland AND Ashok is now working with Rama Chellappa at Center for Automation Research at University of Maryland. I dont know why, but it suddenly gives me great joy to know this!!!
