Vienna

As i said...I am going to Vienna for my summer internship..Here i'm in Vienna. My prof. introduced to all in our Dept. and also people in my office. I'm sharing the office room with 3 other people. one is a PhD from Austria and 2 others are from Germany doing their Diploma under a collegue
of my Prof.

I got a PIII 1GHz Dual processor 2GB RAM, creative SBLive soundcard, HP9200series CDWriter, DVD ROM, RAID supporting 200GB of hardDisk space, 2 videocards, TV card etc..and a login on a 196 PC cluster. Others in the LAB have PII's (its like neighbours envy, Owners pride) The people in
my Lab are very helpful..took me the stores where i can buy the groceries and translated the German names on them to English. One of the girls knows howto cook and she told me how to do the store and cook. This stuff which is totally alien to me....

Vienna is city with a Public transportation thats awesome..and the Architecture in the city is splendid..I have just explored 1% of the city so far..Yesterday we went to Life Ball to see Sir Elton John. The Corrs is going to perform soon in Vienna in a place very close to my Office. BTW, my office is a 3 minute walk from the central hub of Vienna and ofers a great view of the city from its Windows..

I have no idea what i'm eating here but for the fact that i am eating a something...coming to my Hostel its 20minutes ride by the tram and i share my Apartment with a girl majoring in Medicine. she is nice, helful and all but she doesnot cook ;-( she offers only coffe/tea which i don't drink. i guess I'll soon find someone who can cook and move to his/her apartment.... The student home is on a hill so u get a nice views of this greenest District Vienna...there seems to be a nice park nearby which i'm yet to visit..This hostel place reminds me of Masoorie..

My Prof....Oh!! he is a very caring..he picked me from the Airport and the next day to the office from Hostel...explained allabout Vienna and his career etc... almost called me every hour or so for the first few days..BTW, I'm working on Parallelising Eigen Decomposition of Block Triangular
Matrices.

In short..celebrating Life@Vienna
