Love is Beautiful (Instrumental) - Composed by Kailaash Balachandran

This is probably the first song I've ever composed :) . It was for a short movie which was to be directed by my college mate.  Though the movie never went on floors, the experience I got composing this track along with Naren was too exciting. Naren is a full time musician and when I told him that I have a tune in mind, he immediately agreed to collaborate  for this track.

He definitely gave this track a professional touch. Initially I only had the tune and I thought to keep the song as simple as possible, with just acoustic guitar and vocals. But as we started working, the tune got improvised so much and with the inclusion of  drums, choirs and keys, it came out well than we had initially expected.

Though there was a plan to  record this song lyrically but as the movie was dropped, the track too went untouched to the shelves. So here I'm, sharing the raw instrumental track I've composed :)

I love you till the end guitar cover - PS I Love You

Another fun jam with Tanuj. This is the first video cover of me and Tanuj that surprisingly came out well.

 Though we didn't intend to record a cover, Tanuj decided just to record on his lappy and see how this will sound like when recorded. To our surprise, it was 100 times better than what we thought it would be and gave us enough motivation to record 'Truly Madly Deeply' which happened much later.

Also. check out the slower version of the same song I covered.

Sharing large files through Bit Torrent in Peer-to-Peer social networks

Abstract: Bit-Torrent (BT) is a widely used protocol for file sharing over the network in an efficient way where a single file is effectively accessed by large number of users. Bit-Torrent is based on peer to peer networking (P2P) and it improves the transfer speed drastically by splitting the file into segment sand collecting the segment needed from the other peers that already have them. The Bit-Torrent technique shows effective resource utilization among hundreds of connected peers accessing the same file by not compensating on their down-load speed. This paper discusses the working principle of Bit-Torrent , framework behind its operation, proposed modifications in its working and what the future might hold for this innovative approach in order to serve files over the peer to peer social network.

Change detection in xml documents using Semantic Identifiers

Abstract: Change Detection is a process of comparing successive versions of a document to identify the changes. The success of XML as the standard for data exchange has paved way for a number of change detection techniques that focus more on structural changes, rather than on the semantics. Existing structural change detection mechanisms tend to break down when the changes made are significantly large. This paper discusses a schema less, semantics based framework that associates semantic identifiers to elements in successive versions, thus clearing the obstacle of inefficient association of elements when the structural change is significant.

Introduction to Web Designing

Gave a short presentation on Web Development at CSC Computer Education, Vridhachalam, India. The audience were mostly school kids so I thought of giving a getting-started lecture on web development.
