Meeting

Today I had a meeting at 12:45 pm with a professor here, Jean-Pierre Hubaux. We discussed my work and related research and other stuff over lunch for an hour. Then he had a phone meeting with some collaborators at IISc, Bangalore.
Talked a great deal with my new roomate, Regis Chatelain today. He is swiss and from Lausanne. A very ernest and nice guy. Invited me to see the Geneve fireworks from his fathers boat this weekend. Also, told me a lot about his personal life and troubles in all it's eighteen glorious years. Almost felt like an elder brother advising. He is learning english, and can get by. But, of course conversation between us was slow. So, we converted it into a session of learn-French and learn-English for each other, and it was a hit. My other German roomate had told me that he had learnt French in just 1 year by interacting and speaking always in French. Maybe this will help.
