Most of the books you have mentioned are new to me... :)
Mu ha ha ha ha hah! Responded. I am sure most of the books I mentioned would be new to many.
Of all the books, I can definitely apprecite Digital Image Processing by Gonzalez..it is one of the best books to explain such a complex subject in such a lucid term..also, Computer N/W too is worth remembering(thats what I can do now)!!..The Sanjay Tiwari's book..how do you find it to be?? I cudn't somehow read through the book completely..I donno why!!!
Check my other BLOG for the tag - http://offnoimportance.blogspot.com. Nice ploy to make people read all my BLOGs if I mix up the posts!!! ;-) Thx!!
Umm, you have a lot of books which I've never heard off. Brains..Brains.!!
Could you please let me know how
'Good Muslim Bad Muslim' is?
Chakra..":)"...Don't know what else to say..
Mo, I know..you can never say or do things that normal humans understand..;)..What to do, even your blog checks whether am a human or not!!
Krish, that Sanjay Tiwari's book was Ok..I read it because I had to do my dissertation..It isn't a fabulous book but I didn't sleep over it atleast..:)
Agnibarathi, trying all strategies, is it? Good luck, I hope you get lots of visitors! :)
Narayanan, just because I have these books, I am brainy, eh? What logic is that? ;)..Good Muslim, Bad Muslim seems interesting, infact I started reading it only this Monday, I will let you know once I finish it..:)
Am honoured...

Eroteme, My pleasure..:)

Sriram, u research in IP?? That is an interesting area to work on..infact, one of the few courses I really enjoyed doing though I flopped in my tests..:)
cllla...., yet to reach a conclusion!! :)
Prabhu karthik, very smart!! ;) I realised you are tagged once I put you on the list..Never mind!
Hmm Gonzalez/Woods... you reminded me of my bachelors days... I did my project in DIP.. :-)
The on book on Sri Ramana Maharishi is now released, and its worth reading.... its was really an enlightening experience and shows a path to lead a good life.It also shows to the world the greatness of this Maharishi not to much known to all of us.
