Beautiful hills in the mid-Pune city. An absolute treasure, being eyed by "developer" community under the disguise of easing traffic 😞

The iconic house in #Mysuru, where RK Narayanan did most of his writings. One of the quotes on the wall said, if Churchill could get the Nobel, how did RK Narayanan miss it? But nonetheless he was in good company of Tolstoy, Somerset Maugham etc.

The amazing petroglyphs of Konkan. These bridge the historical findings between much older Bhimbetka- like sites, and much later Harappa/ Dholavira sites. These are a must visit for any history enthusiast.

Exciting findings about the Iron age. Was it independent origin of the Iron age in Turkey and India, or was it an active trade? Evidence of trade from later periods is abundant.

Delighted to be at the seminar by Joel Sussman @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social. He belongs to the generation, who have made structural biology an acceptable field of enquiry in Biological Sciences. His own contributions including structures of tRNA, Acetylcholinesterase etc have been profound.
