With a little delay in the final decision and a huge increase in the prize money IBM India Research Lab announced the list of Outstanding PhD candidates on 20th November 2006. I am honored to be selected for the IBM Outstanding PhD Award for the year 2006.

I was on leave to my home town in Andhra Pradesh. On 23rd of November 2006 I gave the sendoff to my father, who even got promotion during this vacation. After taking breakfast I went to internet center to check mails. I was just trying to access my institute web mail I got a call from my supervisor Dr. Ankush Mittal. He was the first one to give this wonderful news. I conveyed this news to my mother and to my father. This was one of happiest moments in my life.

The whole department was very happy with the achievement, especially Dr. R. C. Joshi and Dr. Mehra. All of the research scholars were enjoying the award. This gave the feeling of competition of IITR with other IITs. We have good publication record compared to any other IITs but least recognized in recent years. For the first time, we were in the direct competition and we got won the race. This made my little research family proud.

I am thankful to the Almighty for giving me strength and patience to carryout research at a good pace. I am also thankful to my parents, supervisors and research scholars for the help and encouragements throughout the research.
