Dear FANE/ FASS group members.
Kindly see the addendum from one of my friends. The story of Shri Arnab,
appears to be only partially true. Can anyone find out the facts and put the
records straight, especially his being nominated for the Nobel?
Anyway best of luck to the young genious from Asom.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the story. I could not beleive its authenticity and so checked
through the net.
It was inspiring to learn more about him. Here is what I found in a DNA
report dated 15th May 2008.

At 20, this boy from Assam heads a project in NASA
From a small town in Assam, Arnab has done phenomenal research on asteroids
MUMBAI: He is just 20-years old and has not graduated yet, but Arnab Kakoti is
working as a project in-charge in NASA. And he has earned this honour through
his phenomenal research on asteroids.
Hailing from Golaghat, a small town in upper Assam, Arnab is doing mechanical
engineering from Gandhi Institute of Engineering and Technology. Bharati
Thakur, a teacher who belongs to Nashik, had gone to Golaghat to teach in
Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya (VKV) where he studied. âArnab was a student of
the third batch of our school. I remember him as a shy, quiet boy lost in his
own world,â said Thakur. According to her, Arnab was never an extraordinary
child. âIn fact,â she said, âhe was average. He had scored around 60%
marks for his SSC. But if he was asked any rare question, it used to be
different though.â
Arnab was interested in space science from a very young age. He had sent his
research paper on the Big Bang theory to the World Junior NASA Competition and
was selected as a junior scientist of the space agency, which invited him to
join them and study there.. He also came in contact with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam,
who guided and motivated him on his work.
Arnab has taken part in nine NASA seminars and two others with the European
Space Agency (ESA).
When Bharati Thakur spoke to Arnab on the phone while he was in India to
appear for his exam, he said, âI am very happy. It proves that mediocrity is
never a hurdle. One only needs the determination to do things and paths will
open by themselves.â
