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.

covered our findings today. The headline reads a bit sensational, but the overall matter is reasonable as our findings. At times, emphasis of secondary findings garner more attention that the real ones.

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.

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.
