Thank you for your compliment (about the name). Its quite sad though that the word Shiv does not exist in the Indian-English lexicon. So people just think of the God and not of a knife!
I do have some ideas and heuristics in mind. I wanted to give out a small hello to the community for now. I will write up my ideas/approach properly, go through a round of feedback and then share it with the community of course. (Just that I have my final examinations going on now..so I need to wait for the weekend). I will be trying to talk to Greg as well apart from my mentors.
