Pre-Christmas greetings

Dear friends, again, a year has nearly passed b and we are approaching Christmas.
I did not post much as I as only travelling to places that I have been to several times, Chicago and Woods Hole in the USA, and Paris in France. I was also in Kolkata again, and appreciated all these trips. But as they were mainly related to work, I did not have many new stories to tell.

Still enjoying Bangalore, Sunaina and me did decide this year to set up some Christmas decoration at home, and I would like to use this occasion to send you the best wishes for a peaceful Christmas time with a few impressions of our artificial Christmas tree...and with pictures from Lal Bagh, a big garden/park in Bangalore.

 

Republic day 2015 - Colours of India

Just a short notice...with respect to the upcoming Republic day (Jan 26), I joined a group of colleagues (PhD candidates, post docs and staff from the administration) to perform a piece called 'colours of India'.

It was a merge of dance performances from the various regions in India, connected through a small story line that was based on a foreigner exploring Inida during his stay at NCBS (well, guess who played that role...).

it was good fun and the audience was very supporting and enthusiastic. in the following just some pics of the play...
