Weekly Notes 29/2022
Weekly Notes are meant to be weekly updates which I wouldn’t cover in a regular blog post. I will probably post them on Fridays. The title has the week number in that year.

Live chart showing IDVC Prices
I have added live charts to the IDVC ( Idly Dose Vada Coffee Price) project page. It’s the current year’s stats.
Updates : NMG + GSUS Grant 2022
We have the top ten decided, so we have to do a final round to pick the top two or three. It is possible to do it this month. So the date for the announcement of grantees is July 31st. I am as excited as you are.
Introducing IDVC Survey
Bangalore Darshinis are a class apart. They provide very affordable, clean, accessible food throughout the day. I have not seen this in many other cities. Most of the darshinis have the same or somewhat similar menu. They all have idli, vada (vada), dose(dosa), and coffee. So I figured to see if the city is affordable, the measure of these would be a good indicator, like an IDVC Index. Latte Index somewhat inspires me.
Hectic Week
This year has been hectic; this is the second operation Appa has gone through. Considering the previous one, this one was much simple and quick. He is doing very well and waiting to start his regular life.
Chennai / IITM Paradox’22 Fest
Last weekend I was in Chennai for Paradox2022, the first offline student festival for IITM BSc Students. I have been teaching MAD01 and MAD02 since 2020 for BSc students personally; it’s been a great experience. But I never got to meet any of them in person, so I thought it would be an excellent chance to meet them. With the bonus of seeing more than a hundred students getting their diplomas.
