Blogging from Lausanne

Yes, it is now about twelve and a half years since I worked in this building, and it is a strangely familiar yet unfamiliar feeling to come back here. I wrote to the Indo-Swiss Bilateral Research Initiative for support to come and work here. I am interested in knowing about supersymmetric Q-balls on which my host Mikhail Shaposhnikov is an expert. I already had a discussion with him. Switzerland is as efficient as ever...the day I arrived in Zuerich I was on the train within 50 mins of landing, clearing immigration, baggage and customs and getting my Swiss pass validated. Already met some old friends and acquaintances from the region. Blogging may be slow for some time, but who knows?
