Poets write songs about the cities they live in, writers pen essays and stories, artists paint their surroundings, so why should scientists not record and share their observations about the places they live in? Why should scientists not extend their acumen and yes, aesthetics to write about their cities? This book, which is both education and entertainment was brought out by two practicing physicists and a host of enthusiastic students and shows their love for the subject, for the cities we live in and for India.
