The Biryani in SA is not the Biryani in India, and conversely. If I don’t come back home, it’s the Biryani. If I come back to India, it’s the people ♥️. #🇮🇳❤️

I walk through a bit of history, as I need.
Though, the raison d’être is to learn from the peers.
Impart intellectual insight as I speak.
Pour thoughts on the compact white pieces from trees.
With ease, move forward and repeat, …
Until I rest in the peace.

As a proponent of knowledge exchange myself, I will spend the second half of February 2026 in India 🇮🇳. I will deliver a series of lectures about my field of expertise (Topology) and my own research at Jadavpur University on 17-19 and 23-24 February 2026. This should be a rewarding experience, and I am excited about it. I would like to extend my gratitude to Pronay Biswas, Prof Sujit Sardar, Prof Subhas Mandal, and everyone involved for making this happen. “We will be there!”

Different buildings in Windhoek captured by yours truly.
Here is a funny Windhoek tale about three brothers who I call “Izinja ZeGame”, otherwise known as Amaphara in the South Aftican context.
