Mastering Cassini’s Division
Ahhh! The finish line is in sight, my favourite feeling at the end of a great project.

Welcome to Kolkata Sir!
So I have arrived back in Kolkata (Calcutta) but the last time I was here it must have been winter. Right now it is almost 40 degrees in the shade and 98 percent humidity. I got off the plane and thought I was standing too close to the jet engines, but it only got hotter … Continue reading
