National Science Day: 2018 @ JMC-Trichy

It was a nice experience to visit where we studied. Last Wednesday is a National Science Day (28 Feb 2018), and I had a great chance to discuss with 150 young science students. I have completed my B. Sc. Physics (1991-1994), and M. Sc. Physics (1994-1996) from Jamal Mohammed College (http://www.jmc.edu/index.php?mn=home), Bharathidasan University.  See below our group photo (not a complete one though) during one of our M.Sc. practical day.

Dr. Haja Hameed joined as a faculty in the same department, while we are all scattered in the entire globe. He organized a National level seminar on Solid State Physics and invited me to deliver a lecture.

Annual Sports Meet - 2017

On 4th November 2017, I have been invited as one of the chief guests of the Annual Sports Meet -2017 of Christ School, Manipal (http://christschoolmanipal.org/default.asp). It was a wonderful moment and brought back to my school days. I used to actively participate in the long jump, high jump, basketball, kho-kho etc during my school days.  More than sports, during school days I was a good orator in Tamil, and never missed a prize in any school function. College life changed the focus ... and took sharp turns.  I also liked the gift they presented (hibiscus plant) presented by the school.  A big thank you to the school management and Mrs. Elisa Vaz (Principal). Here some of the photos of the function (photo courtesy-Christ School, Manipal).
