It is difficult to accept that Naresh Dadhich is no more. He was a teacher, a mentor and a friend. I first met him during the first IUCAA-NCRA summer school in June 1990. He was a very fine human being who used his position on behalf of those who did not have a voice.

Today on mental health day, I would like to highlight a source of stress that I see amongst young students.
The University Grants Commission in India has permitted students to pursue two degrees at the same time. A number of students feel that they must do it or they will be left behind.

It was travelling past the Sun at 430,000 mph (i.e London to New York in 30sec) at a distance of only 9.85 Sun-Radii above the solar surface. Temperatures were > 1000℃ 🥵
