MTNL | Post Paid Mobile | Enabling 3G

Having had a TataDoCoMo post paid connection, I was more than happy with the service, but when we shifted to a new flat the signal was just our of the flats reach and it called for a port-out.

Am sure there are several notes on how to port out of one service provider and port in to another service provide. It starts with a simple SMS to 1900 with your mobile number as the message. You almost immediately get a reference number. You go to the port-in mobile provide (in my case MTNL) and fill in a form and attach address proof (Aadhar sufficient) and personal indentification (PAN) and a photograph. The process sets in and if things are in order (if you have paid off the charges of your port-out service provider) you should be in port-in service before a weeks time.

While I got port-in and was able to use my phone to speak, I was unable to use the data and I was wondering what to do and a search on the web revealed that one needs to call 1503. Which I did, however I was asked to call 1925 to activate my post paid mobile. Which I did and almost immediately you get a SMS saying that your request for activation has been received and will be processed.

Once you get an activation message (generally after an hour after you have called 1925) you switch off the mobile and switch it on again. And you are supposed be able to access data.

Summary: Call 1925 from your post paid MTNL mobile to activate your 3G or data connection!

Visualizing Speech Processing Challenges!

Often it is difficult to emphasize the difficulty that one faces during speech signal processing. Thanks to the large population use of speech recognition in the form of Alexa, Google Home when most of us are asking for a very limited information ("call my mother", "play the top 50 international hits" or "switch off the lights") which is quite well captured by the speech recognition engine in the form of contextual knowledge (it knows where you are; it knows your calendar, it know you parents phone number, it knows your preference, it knows your facebook likes .... ). Same Same - Different Different: You speak X = /My voice is my password/ and I speak Y= /My voice is my password/. In speech recognition both our speech samples (X and Y) need to be recognized as "My voice is my password" while in speaker biometric X has to be attributed to you and and Y has to be attributed to me! In this blog post we try to show visually what it means to pro

BITS Pilani Goa Campus - Some Useful Information

You have cleared the BIT Aptitude Test and have got admission to BITS Pilani Goa Campus. Congratulation . Well Done. This is how the main building looks! Read on for some useful information, especially since you are traveling for the first time to the campus and more or less you will face the same scenario that we faced! We were asked report on 29-Jul-2018 (Sunday) to take admission on, 30-Jul-2018. We reached Madgoan (we traveled by train though the airport is pretty close to the BITS campus, primarily to allow us to carry more luggage!)at around 0700 hours (expect a few drizzles to some good rain - so carry an umbrella) on 29-July-2019. As you come out you will be hounded by several taxi drivers, but the best is to take the official pre-paid taxi. It should cost you INR 700 to reach the BITS campus. We had booked a hotel in Vasco (this is one of the closest suburb from BITS campus, a taxi should charge you around 300-350 INR; you will make plenty of trips!) and

Authorship or Acknowledgement? Order of Authors!

{Personal views} Being in an R&D organization means there are several instances when you have to write (Scientific or Technical Papers) about what you do in peer reviewed conference or journals.Very often, the resulting work is a team effort and as a consequence most papers, written today, have multiple authors. Few decades ago, as a research scholar, it was just you and your supervisor as the two sole authors of any output that came out of the PhD exploration. This was indeed true, especially if you were writing a paper based on your ongoing research towards a PhD. In the pre-google days, the trend was to email the second author (usually the supervisor) to ask for a copy of the paper so that you could read the research and hopeful build on it because you knew that the supervisor would be more static in terms of geo coordinates than the scholar. However the concept of multiple authors for a research article is seeping into academic research as well. These days labs write papers
