God does not exist ...

This is what I have realized after my foreign trip . Have you ever realized that where these Gods and Goddess live or how they survive ? Does science has a answer for this ? No ..  Not at all . How can Ravana have ten heads  Or Goddess Durga have ten hands ? Is it possible that any one can live a life with ten heads ? This is a mythological figure and there is no reality associated with it . When we were  a child we used to like to listen these mythological stories  . But these are really stories , pure stories . In which universe they live ? In which planet ? Does anyone has a answer ? Is there anybody who has talked or seen God ? Yes , in his dreams , not with his real eyes . As a scientist I cant understand that why people rely too much on these God and Goddess but not on efforts or " Work Done" or " KARMA   " . If your Karma is good and OK then you don't have to rely on God . Believe  on your  Karma not on your fate . God does exist in the heart of human being not in temples . Here God means some good quality of human being. This is what Rabindranath Tagore says . He also says .... " Man makes God and due to his sympathy  God's superiority exists " ( Manushi Debota gore tahari kripar pore kore deb mahima nirvar ).  

Another book on MT ( Machine Translation )

HandBook of Natural Language Processing & Machine Translation ( Joseph Olive , Caitlin Christianson and John McCary Editors ) 

Statistical Machine Translation by Philipp Koehn

Statistical Machine Translation is a very good book . Really it is very helpful when you are learning NLP or MT ( Natural Language Processing or Machine Translation ) . The book has three parts . The first part gives you detailed tutorial about NLP and Probability theory . The second part is the main part of the book and the third part is advanced part . Statistical Machine Translation is a very interesting topic now a days . There are several MT related projects which are  going on now a days . Anuvadaksh is a MT project on which currently I am working . So this book is very helpful to me .

Each and every chapter of this book is really help full . I feel some difficulty understanding some topics in the third part which is advanced topics . Though slowly slowly I will cover the whole book. 

Flame & Grill

Yesterday we spent a night at Flame & Grill in South City .  Partha Pakray completed his PhD viva yesterday and for that occasion he offered a dinner at Flame & Grill . This is my first time that I had a dinner at Flame & Grill . That was awesome . There was live performance of singers at Flame & Grill . The starter was very nice . And then comes the main course . Also drinks ( I dont prefer alcoholic drinks ) . We all the members of the NLP lab joined the dinner . My two students Parijat and Ashis also joined us in the dinner . Prawn , Chicken , Mutton , Biriyani , Fried Rice , Meat Curry , Fish , Ice Cream , Sweets , Fruits ,  Salads everything was there . As there was  many items of foods so cost was really high . Altogether we twelve people from NLP lab joined the dinner .We enjoyed a lot at Flame and Grill . We wish all the best for Partha Pakray's bright future .
