India Calling

I and family will be traveling this week for a long stay in India (two months). I anticipate posts infused with spices, pickles and more in the coming weeks. The plan: Delhi during the first week of December. Bangalore and Namakkal most of the time, a trip to Chennai.

I have been preparing for the trip for some time and have arranged to meet a few men and women of science. That said, there is no detailed plan. I am look forward to meeting as many as I could: scientists, bloggers, readers of TheScian.com, science enthusiasts and anyone who has been wondering if I am bald or I shave my head regularly (both). Leave a message here or drop me an email. I'll get in touch.
