Hedi Born’s picture
This is Hedi Born (wife of Max Born) sending a picture with a note to Lokasundari Ammal (CV Raman’s wife) in 1937.
Max Born and his family spent some time at IISc, Bangalore, in 1935-36.
Amazing to see how communication channels have changed, but the human urge to communicate remains the same..

Squirrel vs Gravity
Amazing how the squirrel does it..it can climb up or down a vertical wall with ease…
Part of its learning is in the gene, thanks to evolution, and part is in environmental cues..
Science is indeed beautiful..all we need is to open our eyes.. -
Paragliding…
This is my daughter and me flying high on boat-assisted paragliding, circa June 2023, somewhere near North Goa…was riveting 3 minutes up in the sky…a great experience. The view towards the sun-set was great and so was the view in the opposite direction to the sun, where we could see backwaters from the top.
