Poor Abi.
I can picture the circumstances that led to this post. The fringe benefits of working at IISc sometimes exceed the actual salary. I’d trade my lucrative job right now to just be in the serene IISc campus.
One fine evening, after work, a tired Abi dozed off at his desk lulled by the gentle breeze floating inside his room. The dream followed almost immediately. The next moment, it jerked him awake. Abi was now Archimedes. Eureka! And he quickly typed his dream into a blog post.
He was instantly clobbered. Therefore, he tried the time-tested Communist tactic. He spat first and tried to run. Sadly, he’s no secular journalist to run into the safe arms of establishment protection: Abi was caught and factually flogged. Feeble rescue attempts from pet poodles actually hurt his case.

Hi
nanopolitan bolg has strong socialist pseudo secular undertone, so is the iitm prof Arunns blog “http://www.nonoscience.info/” , these young professors (atleast arunn is pretty famous with undergrads, as i was in IIT during that time and one of my friend worked with him, not surprisingly my friend publishes a blog with similar undercurrents ) turining this way is sad,
good that u r informing about them

one more example of iit professors acting smart
dunno whether you ahve seen it already!
the worst thing that can happen to a tech university is its professors pursuing a hidden agenda, no wonder iit is not famous for research
