During September 2018, a memorable time at the Tata Steel Laboratories in Jamshedpur.

There were occasional bursts of heavy rain, but warm. This is a view of the garden at the Laboratories. |

The traditional Cambridge Mafia dinner. |

Saurabh, Itishree, Rishiraj (the Kundu family) and Harry went to see the horror-comedy "Stree" |
But before that, we had lunch at the Kundu residence |

After the movie - notice the ghostly glow interfering with the picture. |
That night, after the movie, Harry's Bosch series 9 electric shave turned itself on around 2 a.m., with each burst of life lasting for about 30 s, on a periodic basis for about 5 min, waking Harry from deep REM sleep. It then went into lock-mode, and refused to work when needed. It was left alone for a couple of days, and then came back to normal life. Strange goings on. During its inactive period, Harry had to use a cut-throat razor. |
