Concept ... i m working on.

"Every man belongs to some community ! Similary, Every word should belong to one or more group or category"

"More the strength of communities, more stronger will be the chance of a man fitting into a community. Same is true for a word also....In other words, more the data, more chance for a word to fit into a pattern. "

Stealth Projects

Its a fresh day, there is a bunch of Great Ideas, you have high energy level, it is time to do some action... before it even starts, your ideas are exposed to a number of double barrel guns shooting continuously with reasons why we should not work on the "Great Ideas". Now what ???
One option can be to lay back and work only on pre-approved ideas or "requirements" in other words. But hey, we are innovators and we believe in our ideas. So we decide to take the other path and start work on them. Well... in STEALTH mode though for obvious reasons :-)
This is a new approach i had started around 4-5 months back which is yielding rich dividends. Had started this in the NI team and slowly implemented in the search team as well. I can see my boss endorsing this approach and quite happy with the developments.
Though it has been a success so far, i am expecting a liitle more. I wish one day we'll have more self motivated engineers who will start their own research project with a bunch of other developers, and deliver stuff which our competitors can't even think about. That day, there won't be anything like 'stealth'...
Right now, I am soon going to start a new big stealth project which will be a great research work. Needless to say, i am quite excited about it. Will write about it once it is over. Well, that's why it is in stealth mode ;-)
