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.

Baambay!
My friend Vivek sent me this YouTube link to an amazing 8-minute documentary on Bombay. The film is notable as much for what it ignores (everything in between the very rich and the very poor) as for what it features. Also the patronising tone of the commentator is quite infuriating. Still, if you hang on till the end you get to see a nice panorama of Chowpatty from Malabar Hill. I remember enjoying a fairly similar view from Naaz cafe in the early 1960's.
