Along with the technical bits, there was a story behind each picture- one that was taken from Ladakh, one from the good ol&#8217; TIFR sea face..so on and so forth. This Sawaal-Jawaab was quite a unique one. It showed how a graduate student combined her science into a beautiful hobby- one that involved a whole lot of travelling in search of clearer skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date: <\/strong>November 9,
