Millenium scientists - India

Found this article from the December 27 issue of India Today, with the scientific Faces of the Millennium. The great thing at that time was how many people I knew, and how:

• (1) Partha Majumdar - ISI, Calcutta; met at a conference on Mathematical Biology, Puri
• (2) Jayant Udgaonkar - faculty at NCBS
• (3) Samir Brahmachari - taught us molecular biophysics at the MBU, IISc
• (4) Milind Watve - head of microbiology at Garware College, Pune, and partially to blame for my entering science.
• (5) R Sukumar - my Ph.D. advisor at the CES, IISc
• (6) Raghavendra Gadagkar - taught us behavioural ecology at the CES, IISc
• (7) N. Balakrishnan - head of the SERC, IISc

So that's how I knew I was in good company.... :)
