There were plenty of jokes. For example, I know only 25 letters of the alphabet - I don't know why.

The occasion was followed by an action movie at the cinema.
The movie put "mission impossible" to shame.

The classic experiment of 1875, showing the evolution of bubbles of hydrogen from freshly cooked steel. The hydrogen is atomic in the steel, diffuses to the surface where it holds hands with another hydrogen atom, they then bond and float off in ecstasy.
No bubbles in this mocktail for Saurabh Kundu

Ashwin was actually at Robinson College, but Harry (using powers that are not vested in him) made him an honorary member of Darwin. He will be back in Cambridge during 2018, for the formal Degree Ceremony - even though he graduated in 2011, he likes to take his time and do things properly, on this occasion in latin.

An interesting story about steel.
This dinner was kindly hosted by Amar Nath Bhagat (on the right), including all the members of his team.
The smiling lady in front - Harry discovered some errors in her "C" program, and in return, she discovered an error of 14 orders of magnitude in Harry's book.

The weather in Jamshedpur was pleasantly hot (34 C), with occasional heavy monsoon rain, thunder and lightning, which lasted for only 20 minutes, followed by nice weather again.
