PGDBA 2nd Semester at IIT Kharagpur.

---------------------------------------------------
I had great expectations from our second semester a IIT kharagpur and the whole batch was looking forward to it. ISI arranged a Bus and a small truck to transfer us from ISI to IIT on 2nd Jan 2016. A great deal of group formation had taken place in the batch.We reached IIT KGP in the evening. WOW, if there is any synonym of large, BIG , humongous in terms of size of campus, it must be IIT kharagpur. We (Boys and Girls both) got accommodation in B R Ambedkar Hall of residence,It is the newest Hall in the campus. This Hall has a capacity to accommodate 2000 students(single occupancy per room), It is HUGE. The quality of room were not very good, but they are not bad either. We had 24X7 LAN, Wifi facility, Very nice mess facility, night canteen facilities.

Next day everyone of us started looking for bicycles. In IIT KGP campus it is next to impossible to manage commute without bicycle. The campus is horrendously BIG. We knew that our classes will be held at Nalanda complex. Nalanda Complex and our hostels were at the far ends of campus and distance between them is 3 kms. I had planned to by a new old style Hero Jet Super bicycle. New Bi cycles are generally considered costly inside the campus. So some people suggested me to go to Gopali. A shopkeeper gentleman gave me a lift to the cycle shop in Gopali. And i bought a brand new bicycle. I must say, the happiness to own my new bi cycle at IIT campus was greater than owning a NISSAN TIIDA Sedan in Johhanesburg. :-).  Continues...

 I found a very strange anamoly of a code working on Jupyter notebook, but its not working on the app.python from a flask applicatoin. When the type of column names if int instead of string, the str.replace() code works on the jupyter notebook, but does not work in the flask python. Scenario: I have a dataframe having year-months(For example 202001, 202002 etc.) as the column name. Now I want to have a replace code, like, col = [ '201911', '201912','202001', '202002', '202003', '202004', '202005', '202006', '202007', '202008','202009','202010']  the below code works on the jupyter notebook, but fails on the flask. data_df[col] = data_df[col].replace(to_replace=['-',' ','\*'], value='', regex=True).astype(float)

Feature of Scrolling in a page in RMarkdown Flexdashboard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was using Flexdashboard with RMarkdown and faced an issue. When I was adding more rows, it used to squeeze the existing plots on the page and i was not getting the feature of scrolling automatically. I saw all the examples of Flexdashboard from the author, but every example had only 3-4 plots which fit in a single page. I search for some documentation but could not find one. Solution: We have to include a small key-value pair text, " vertical_layout: scroll" and it worked like magic and i had very nice scrolling feature on my page.
