MOVING: By October 26, 2009, the following material shall be available only at my new website .
1. I'll be mostly putting my less-mathematical work on this website, for example, historical work connected with Dagshai, my math papers are on a companion website.
2. Interested in cacti? See Dr. J. S. Sarkaria's book on the Panchkula Cactus Garden. This botanical garden, a government facility, is run by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (H.U.D.A.), and has from October 23, 2008 been re-named to honour the memory of its founder-curator. Its full official name now is "DR. J. S. SARKARIA NATIONAL CACTUS AND SUCCULENT BOTANICAL H.U.D.A. GARDEN AND RESEARCH CENTRE". Here is a recent photo of this garden's chief gardener Sushil in front of a new board near the entrance. My father Dr. J. S. Sarkaria was also one of the founders, and the guiding spirit, of the National Cactus and Succulent Society, whose annual shows are often held in this garden. The garden is very popular with plant-lovers and is often in the news. The wonderful web-site of naturalist Capt. Suresh Sharma includes some beautiful photos from this garden and contains more information about Dr. Sarkaria. Finally, here is the transcript of a recent interview with a news reporter about this garden.
3. Here is a paper on Cacti and Mathematics.
4. And here is one for those who are intrigued by, say, a Fly, getting sad on a fair amount of alcohol? (10).
