Young genius marches on!
Congratulations Tathagat! Possibly you are younger than many of the students you'll be teaching at IIT Bombay. Sure it takes a genius to complete PhD in 21 and get into IIT as an Assistant Professor. I have been following your progress for quite some time. Hope your potential will be realized in research as well and India will benefit with some patents from you.

Some good news for family men like us: Indian Oil & BP announces
Indian Oil website states:
"Indian Oil is pleased to announce the launch of PREFERRED TIME DELIVERY for convenience of the consumers *
The facility is now available for all distributors of Indianoil Corporation Limited (Indane), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (Bharat Gas) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HP Gas ) customers in Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and , Sonepat,. The facility will be launched in Kolkata, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad Chennai, Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, Mira Bhayander etc during the month. The scheme may be extended to all towns having population of about 10 lakhs within 6 months. Remaining towns within a year. "
For the double income group, where both MIa-Biwi are not available throughout the day, except for the weekends, it is definitely an applaudable step not to spoil the weekend - waiting for a stupid gas cylinder to arrive!
Log on to the company website, get yourself registered and by paying a premium of Rs. 40-50 you can avail this benefit.
Hopefully, it will work. -----------------------------------------

Koti-Lingeshwara temple: World's tallest Shiva Linga with 86 lacs Lingas!
Amazingly scenic and beautiful with 86 lacs (yes, you read it right!) and the World's tallest (57 ft. I guess) Shiva Linga - Koti Lingeshwara is located around 100 km. of Bangalore, in Kolar district. I came to know of it from Wikipedia and thought of visiting it today with my better half and mother-in-law.
The trip was a bearable one - overcoming all language barriers and "straighto", "Lefto" and "Righto"s. Finally after 3 hours and 110 km. we could reach Kotilingeshwara, just off SH 95. And it is worth the effort indeed. Temple timings are 6 AM-12-30 and then 3PM to 8 PM, open all days. Entry fees is nominal (Rs. 5) but if you are interested in taking snaps you have to shell out Rs. 100 extra. But, don't worry - it will be totally paisa wasool!
Attached some snaps of the magnificent temple.
