My research paper on Genetic Algorithm
Abstract:
In this paper we discuss how standard genetic algorithm (SGA) could be applied to get an optimal cricket team from a set of 50 national level players. Since a cricket team needs to be more flexible, balanced and diverse, we defined fitness function to check the optimality of the team, and how the optimality changes with the change in gene composition of chromosome. The proposed method takes into account several important factors that affect a team combination like: No. of pacers and spinners, composition of left hander and right hander, partnership records etc. Starting from a random initial population, the normal SGA operations (selection, reproduction and mutation) to get the next population set and the process is iteratedtill an optimal team is produced or a fixed number of times. Theproposed system is made very generic and it can be applied for any game by just modifying the fitness function.
Urdu Sheyrs
Sharte'n lagaai jaati neheen dosti ke saath
Kijiey mujhe qabool meri har kami ke saath
Kis kaam ki rehi yeh dekhawe ki zindgi
Waade kiey kissi se, nibhaai kissi ke saath
================================
Geele kaagez ki tareh apni to zindgi tehri
Koi likhta bhi neheen aur jalata bhi neheen
================================
Tanhaai na paaye koi kisi ke saath ke baad
Judaai na paaye koi kisi ke mulaqaat ke baad
Na parhe kisi ko aadet kisi ki itni
Ke ek ek saans aaye kisi ki yaad ke baad
================================
Unse poochhiey nakaamion ki lazzatein
lut gya ho jo mosafir jaa ke manzil ke qareeb

My opinion in The Hindu
Benazir Bhutto Assassination:
Television footage and pictures in the print media are an obvious pointer to the government’s apathy towards Benazir’s security. The presence of an armed assassin and a suicide bomber within a few metres of her car exposes a huge chink in the security armour. The very tragic and shameful incident has definitely put President Musharraf, darling of George W. Bush, under the scanner.

Terror attack:
The terrorist attack is a reflection of the failure of our security system. The Centre and the State, instead of playing the blame game, should evolve a foolproof strategy to combat terrorism.
Politics on Migration:
The issue raised by Raj Thackeray — the heavy influx of immigrants into Mumbai — is a cause for concern but his intentions do not seem genuine. His move is aimed at broadening the MNS’ political base. It is unfortunate that some of our politicians build walls, instead of bridges, in society.

Naxalim:
Naxalism has spread its tentacles across the nation from the coasts of Andhra Pradesh to the fields of Bihar. And naxalites have succeeded in executing their mission from jails to jungles. By and large, the governments at the Centre and in the States have remained mute spectators to the aggressions. It is time something was done to curb the hydra-headed demon called naxalism.

Intolerance:
The suspension of the screening of Jodhaa Akbar by some State governments is unfortunate for a free society like India. It is true that one’s right to freedom of speech is not absolute. But it is also important for people to be tolerant. There is nothing in the movie that can be considered objectionable in a vibrant democracy.

Politricks:
The blooming friendship between Mr. Mulayam Singh and Mr. Kalyan Singh is a classic example of opportunistic politics. The saffron hero who scripted the demolition of the Babri Masjid cannot be forgiven just because he has owned responsibility for it after 16 years. The latest development has eroded ‘Maulana’ Mulayam’s stature as a secular leader. He has indeed made the task of his arch rival and U.P. Chief Minister Mayawati — of wooing the Muslim voters of the State — easier.
Justice delayed not denied:
Ms Kodnani’s resignation from the Modi government and her surrender before the Special Investigation Team is a victory for those who fought for social justice. Justice may be delayed, but it is not denied in our country.

Eulogy to YSR:
Dr. Reddy was a dynamic politician, able administrator, charismatic mass leader and efficient Chief Minister. He stood for the cause of the downtrodden and farmers. His decision to give free power to millions of poor and his government’s focus on irrigation projects will always be remembered. His death is a huge loss to India, in general, and Andhra Pradesh, in particular.

We should learn from the U.S. where there has been no major terrorist strike after 9/11. What terrorists need is an iron fist, not velvet gloves.

We fought for our freedom of ideas and expression, and cinema is one of the main forms of expression.
