Glorious Morning Glory on the #PashanHill in Pune.

The wonderful library of IIT Hyderabad

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.

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.
