We so love our trivia and science. And, as purists, we hate fakes. Which is why we do not get why, while most of the characters in the series Rocket Boys are real people, Dr. Raza Mehdi, who is shown to have played a significant role in Bhabha’s life, is fictional. Why did they do that? Wouldn't Meghnad Saha be the right choice? You tell us. More factoids. Have you ever tried studying during load-shedding in Kolkata? Well, some people were attempting to build and run a cyclotron. How about the fact that the genesis of the Chandrayan-3 might lie in the efforts of a balloonist in the 1880s. Srinwantu, Indranath and Trinanjan from the Paperclip join us to talk about some fantastic drawing-room conversation-worthy stories from the world of technology.
