#After the Lecture in Pune, the journey from Pune to Calcutta, and then a short flight from Calcutta to Jamshedpur in the Tata Steel aircraft, followed by the main tasks.






Meeting in Pune with Tata Consulting staff

The journey from Pune to Calcutta begins, escorted kindly by Saurabh Chatterjee (PT-group member, Darwin College, Cambridge)

Saurabh Kundu (PT Group Member, Darwin College, Cambridge) took Harry to the Dhosa King where we ate an enormous amount. Each of us had four Dhosas of different kinds. One would have done but they were tasty, tasty, very very tasty.

Strange goings on in politics. Everywhere in the world.

It was sunny in India, with lovely vegetation

The Kundus took Harry to see "Phillauri", a lovely romantic comedy with a bit of heart-rending tragedy and nice-looking ghosts, and a happy ending assuming there is an after-life.

Professor Shiv Brat Singh (PT Group, Darwin College Cambridge) arrived from IIT Kharagpur to discuss how to include the reduction in free energy due to tetragonal ferrite in software such as Thermocalc.

He also stayed at the Tata Steel Guesthouse, in a room adjacent to Harry's.

This is the team that did a very difficult experiment where we detected for the first time, the invariant-plane strain surface relief due to bainite in a 0.002 wt% carbon steel.

The experiment was done on the Gleeble

To celebrate the success of the surface relief experiment, Saurabh then took the whole team for a lovely dinner at the Equinox restaurant, where many many jokes ensued.

This is Nibedita Behara, whose dilatometric experiment appears in the 4th edition of Harry and Honeycombe's book on Steels, on page 232.
