July 2 Sometime late last year, the people at Fiftytwo (fiftytwo.in) got in touch and asked if I'd be interested in writing about India's scientific endeavours in Antarctica. Interested? I was delighted at the idea, not least because one of my college buddies, KC Ramakrishnan, went there twice in the 1980s with our expeditions, and I've always envied him that opportunity. Here was my chance to listen to him talk about it all.
And that was the real pleasure in writing this article - listening to my interviewees, KC included, talk about their work and experience there. It went live today: White, https://fiftytwo.in/story/white/ It's long(ish) - 5500 words - but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did the writing. More. And please do write to tell me what you think. cheers, dilip PS: I'm not appending the text here partly because there are a number of footnotes, but also because the page on the web has a charming illustration you should see.
