As science day arrives again

Science day awakens me from the long spell of sleep. Which was keeping me away from posting anything about science in this blog. I've decided to post here once in a while, if not too frequently. Want to live those days again when I ate, drank, slept science.

As science day arrives...

I'm waiting for tomorrow.
Every year, I keep waiting for science day for almost two months.
Few years back in my Fergusson days, I had come to know that some
research institutes remain open for public visit on science day.
Since then, I could not manage to visit IUCAA or GMRT Narayangaon YET.
Hope I'll manage to visit there sometime in future.

When I first read "PRESHIT (The One Who Was Sent)",
a marathi Science Fiction, long back in early 90's, I was very much
fascinated with the miraculous things in Astronomy and science.
Coincidently, again after 14 years, my sweetheart borrowed the same book
from library for us. I found that I still enjoy reading good sci-fi's.
Flying up high in the imagination.

"Cyclops" - the giant radio telescope project in the story - makes
a close resemblance with GMRT.
There are a few memories related to the author of this book - Mr J. V. Narlikar,
I'll discuss it some other time.

Happy Science Day !
