And this one is big. Really, Really Big.
It's called A central Central University -- "the Unofficial Blog of the VC, University of Hyderabad." [A big thank-you to my colleague and coffee buddy B. Anantanarayan [blog) for the alert].
The Vice Chancellor, of course, is Prof. Ramakrishna Ramaswamy. In addition to dealing with vice-chancellorly matters and other such heaviosities, Prof. Ramaswamy is not averse to telling (and showing) us what he had for breakfast!
Prof. Ramaswamy was earlier with JNU-Physics Department. Among his many other avatars, I'll just note two that I know of / about: he is among the good folks behind Scholars without Borders, an online bookstore for academic books. And he co-edited (with my colleague Prof. Rohini Godbole) the wonderful book of autobiographical essays by Indian women scientists, Lilavati's Daughters. He has been writing this blog since July, but I came to know about it over this morning's coffee with Anant.
Go check out the awesome blog, whose URL says it all: HCU Rocks!
Fantastic start by Ram Ramaswamy!! Congratulations to him and thanks to you, Abi, for linking. Great strength and staying power to him
