Tantu-jaal (Hindi) literally means a web of strings. I'm a string theorist, i.e. a physicist who does research on string theory. The blog is not going to be mainly about theoretical physics though, but about my perceptions of the complex web that is the world around us - featuring science, music, food, cinema, literature and much else. And of course, about where I live - previously Bombay, now Pune.

Is Beijing watching?
I have a little widget on my blog that supposedly keeps track of where in the world people are accessing my blog from. Ever since I've installed this, there's a steady unblinking dot indicating "Beijing, China". Why would Beijing be reading my blog? I don't know, but just in case it's my favourite person there, Mr Wen Jia-Bao, I'm happy to remind him of my disgust at the Chinese government's campaign of abuse against the Dalai Lama. Most recently, his puppet media is going woof-woof at Lama-ji for his "monstrous crimes" and "perpetuating fraud". I find this kind of language so utterly shameless.
