Baseurl for stylesheets is picked from the Liquid tag site.github.url.
Why? Not sure, someone in the upstream repo made this change at some point.
Solution: For now, just add the value correctly through _config.yaml

-## Local Deployment
+## About
- ```bundle exec jekyll clean; bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --watch```
+This repository holds the source for my academic homepage, built with Jekyll, an open source static website generator. The theme / layout is adapted from [a template published by NCSU Libraries](https://github.com/NCSU-Libraries/jekyll-academic) which in turn is based on the [Minimal Mistakes theme by Michael Rose](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes). 
 
+## Major Changes
+I have naturally changed the colors, fonts and other cosmetic components to my liking, but
+the overall theme is largely unchanged. I have added two color definitions as well to reflect
+the theme colors of my institute which I have named Jamun and Marigold.
 
-## Introduction
+### Sites with non-root hosting
-This template utilizes Jekyll, an open source static website generator, as well as a theme based largely off of the Minimal Mistakes theme by Michael Rose. The purpose of this template is to provide you with a simple, well designed website that is optimized for hosting on Github pages. We aim to reduce the technological know-how and time that is usually required for maintaining a personal or professional website.
 
-#### Why Should I Use This?
+When hosting in a service where the root directory for the site will be a subdirectory, e.g. in
-By using this template you will have a website that is well designed, easy to maintain, free to host and easy to update. While there are many options out there for personal and professional websites, most are dependant on the platform on which they were built, and cannot be easily migrated. This template, while built for Github Pages integration, provides flexibility should you choose to host it elsewhere.
+my case the root directory for my page is (https://iitdh.ac.in/~kabhijit/), the paths of all stylesheets and other relative links need to point to ```/~kabhijit``` rather than the top-level root, i.e. ```/```. Normally, Jekyll themes use the variables ```baseurl``` or ```url``` to set these, but in this particular template the variable that needs to be used happens to be ```site.github.url```, presumably because this would be needed most commonly when deploying via github pages, to a URL like ```github.io/reponame/```. See the first few lines of the ```_config.yaml``` file for the syntax. If you are deploying to the root directory, this variable can be commented out.
 
-## [Getting Started Guide](https://ncsu-libraries.github.io/jekyll-academic-docs/)
+For **testing** this non-root situation locally, the best way is to serve the site locally with the path right away, and save future heartaches: 
-Complete documentation for getting started as well as advanced features of Jekyll Academic can be found at [https://ncsu-libraries.github.io/jekyll-academic-docs/](https://ncsu-libraries.github.io/jekyll-academic-docs/).

-## Migrating to a new default branch name
+### Deploying
-We've decided to change this project's default branch name to 'main'.  If you've forked this repository prior to July 20th, 2021, then you should a message with update instructions when you go to your fork in github: 
 
-![fork renamed message](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3514165/126372022-ae4c07fa-dec7-427c-a4b5-cdd73aec75eb.png)
+Remember to copy only the contents of the ```_site``` subdirectory over to the webserver.
-
-In your fork on GitHub, go to the branches view, and click on the edit icon next to the 'master' branch.  Change the branch name to main.  Underneath the input box where you change the name you will be presented with the commands that you will need to run on your local copy of your fork.

 ## Upgrade Notes for June 2021 release
+
+__The following section is retained verbatim from the source repository and is needed only if you are using Reveal.js presentations__
+
 If you are running a fork of Jekyll Academic before June 2021, we made some breaking changes to upgrade the underlying Jekyll version and to address the constant github/dependabot security notices mentioned in issue #4.
 
 We have updated Jekyll to version 4 and removed reveal.js as an included library. We still want to support reveal.js presentations, so we have taken the suggestion from issue #4 and made the reveal.js directory a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules). If you are running Jekyll Academic as a Github Page, this should hopefully be a minor change.

 If you have any reveal.js presentations posted, you may need to make some updates for them to display properly using reveal.js version 4.  See [Jekyll's documentation](https://revealjs.com/upgrading/) for details.

+## Ongoing Research
+
+### Modular and Multilevel Converters
+Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters are popular because of
+their inherent modularity, scalability, and efficient voltage
+translation capability. Carrier-based modulation schemes such as
+Level-Shifted PWM (LSPWM) are simple and easy to implement but result in
+extreme disparity in processed power among the modules. This unequal
+loading and non-uniform semiconductor loss results in unequal thermal
+stress, accelerating premature failures in over-stressed modules.
+Space-vector and switching angle adjustment schemes can remedy this but
+can be computationally impractical for higher-order CHBs.
+
+Our work has led to the development of new, computationally efficient
+carrier-reassignment schemes for 9-level and 17-level 
+CHB inverters to achieve near-perfect real and reactive power balance across
+modules over the entire power factor range. Further, semiconductor loss analysis
+shows that conduction and switching losses are also equalized
+across the topology. A simple combinational circuit is also developed to balance the zero-state conduction losses without introducing additional switching. 
+
+A 9-level CHB Power stage is developed for hardware testing and detailed loss models are
+made in Real-time simulation using the state-of-the-art OpalRT HIL Platform.

+
+tat karma yan na bandhāya => That (tat) is 'work' (karma), which (yat) is not (na) for the bondage (bandhāya). The expression "is for something" is often used in Sanskrit idiomatically to mean "leads to something", "causes something" or "transforms into something". Thus, a more idiomatic reading here would be "(Only) that is (real) 'work', which does not lead to bondage." Philosophically, this invokes the doctrine of performing one's duties, remaining detached from its results, and for that matter from everything else. The idea is that 'work' (karman), or performance of one's duties, is worth only if it is done observing proper detachment, and thus does not lead to attachment (i.e. "bondage") to this world.
+
+sā vidyā yā vimuktaye => That (sā) is 'knowledge' (vidyā), which (yā) is for the liberation (vimuktaye). Again, this uses the same idiom as before, and thus really means: "(Only) that is (real) knowledge, which leads to liberation." Philosophically speaking, the liberation (vimukti/mokṣa) here refers to, at the very basic, to the emancipation from the cycle of (re-)birth and death. Thus the idea is that only that kind of knowledge and skill are worth, which lead to liberation from the worldly cycles of birth and death.
+
+āyāsāyāparaṃ karma => For hardship/effort (āyāsāya) is the 'other work' (aparaṃ karma). As familiar to us by now, this really means: "All other kinds of work lead to hardship," i.e. works and duties performed with attachment (i.e. hoping for a certain result, or for the love of someone/something) lead, in the long run, to sufferings. There is a little bit more to add about the choice of the word "apara-". I translate it here as "other", which is indeed one of this common meanings, and also a relevant reading as will be apparent from the next part of the verse, but it also has another usage especially in philosophical contexts where it serves as the antonym to "para-" (absolute, higher, etc.) Thus, a typical usage is "parā vidyā" = the "higher knowledge", which refers to the transcendental/spiritual knowledge (that leads to vimukti), and in contrast, "aparā vidyā" = the other/lower knowledge, which refers to our worldly knowledge (which often leads to "bondage"). Thus, in this context both readings - "other/worldly duties/works" will be appropriate for "aparaṃ karma", without any real difference in the philosophical interpretation.
+
+vidyānyā śilpanaipuṇam => The other (anyā) knowledge (vidyā) is skills in art/craft/etc. (śilpa-naipuṇam), i.e. the other kinds of knowledge are mere worldly skills, and hence are probably not even worth being called knowledge/vidyā.
