No soup for you. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. After spending 10 days watching the Indian team get thrashed, I desperately needed some cheering up. I had no intention of staying on in Trinidad, hoping against hope that Bermuda would pull of a miracle, so I headed off to Tobago. Anyway, here are the links to my. Friday, March 23, 2007. Will head to the docks tomorrow to catch the ferry to Tobago, and lime out there for about a week or so. After that, I'll have to figure out what to do. I'd planned to s...There...

No soup for you. Sunday, January 28, 2007. Notes from a Paris maths department. The maths dept is on a different wavelength though. The next time I see someone sitting in a cafe staring into blank space, I'd be tempted to ask him if he's a CNRS person. It's possible he could be a bum, but it's also possible he could be the next Sartre or Serre. Tuesday, January 23, 2007. The consulate is in the 16th district, where most of the other consulates and embassies are located. Headed there armed with all my...

No soup for you. Thursday, October 26, 2006. I'm moving to the University of Paris next month as a postdoc to work with JT. In February this year, BM. Organized a very special semester at Harvard called eigenvarieties. If not, I'll just flunk him tomorrow". BM thought for a while, and then said yes. My friend B, in the audience was ready to call me in case BM said no, and say run away, it's all over. Somehow, after a very intense and gruelling period, I survived and passed.

No soup for you. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Last week in Rio. After giving my final lecture last week, and working out my visas I'd planned to do a few things in Rio since it was going to be my last week. Climb up a small peak with a professor, go for a football match in Maracana and check out a couple of small islands near Rio. Basically, some things which I felt I should do before leaving Rio. I've uploaded some more pictures of Rio here. One last picture of Rio before I leave. Thursday, May 24, 2007.

No soup for you. Saturday, April 28, 2007. Salvador´s turned out to be a bit disappointing. It´s the 3rd largest city in Brazil, and is known for its strong African roots. I´d heard a lot about the music scene, Capoeria (a Brazillian martial art) and the beaches. Leaving for Rio tomorrow and I´ll have a flat and an office for a month. My flat´s 2 minutes from Copacabana beach, and my office is on a hill overlooking Ipanema beach. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Beach Bum in Brazil.
