So, the main reason I've been quiet on here for a while has been mainly cause I've been running around like a headless chicken sorting out plane tickets and a visa for India. Well I've been in India for a week now, as a 'visiting scientist' at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics in Pune, doing data analysis of the data I took when visiting the radio telescope, GMRT, in July and interacting with students, other postdocs and staff here. And well they are proving that one really needs a sense of humour to be an astrophysicist! ;-)
Culturally, I'm loving the laid-back attitude here, and its actually proving conducive to getting a lot of work done, though I may, by the end of it, I'm either going to love or hate AIPS... I'm already starting to see residual maps when I close my eyes.... :S
I haven't had chance to explore Pune yet (hey, I've only been here for a week!), but I'm hoping I will... If nothing else, I need to do some shopping for gifts for people back home (and I may take requests... ;-) )
Will post more when its not quite so close to dinnertime!
