This is the first time I am trying to put some topic into my post. This essentially meant to focus something important that happened to me during the time in between the posts and doesn't necessarily mean that the post will be about the topic exclusively.
Well anyway, although the treasure hunt was important for me, since I was playing this time with a lot of friends, we lost by about a minute. It might be of interest that the winning team took about 40 minutes to decide that the sequence 3 14 15 ... has anything at all to do with the fabled $\pi$. But it was fun and it was tiring.
Back, I have a lot of catch up to do despite the fact that I worked pretty hard yesterday. The SU3 prog is coming up from the SU2 one; and am trying to think the correct tuning for the multilevel process. I was told that the optimum no of sublattice averaging in the latter case might go up to thousands but I didn't appreciate it properly until I saw the Koma et al paper that does the same. That does bring up the question where are we going to get so much time? Another thing that was pointed out, was that could we do any calculation in the strong coupling limit of the theory? Well, it is time I tried to understand the Laine et al paper much more seriously.

Can hardly believe that a year has already passed---and that part of the year where we go searching for clues all across TIFR in an effort to have the pleasure of winning! Last time of course it was a pretty big disappointment--when in spite of knowing something about the topic: LOTR by Tolkien, we faltered--not by our fault, but because we weren't capable of things that the winning team was--like organizing massive mindless search parties.
This time we showed them--for some of us it was just the need to get even from last time--or just the need to have thing placed in the correct shelf once and for all. But that was only so much! The remaining so much more was the usual tiring fun; and the spirit of adventure that always grips me in things like this!
