Vineeth Chintala

Over five long years of PhD Adding tardy reading and youthful spree, my life has progressed close to Mumbai's sea Tuned to lazy boring (or playful glee), I was possessed first by rings, groups and Suslin's theorem then by Musil, Proust's and Pushkin's rhythm all the words that made me wiser for all the work, I thank my advisor and wish him well as I close this door Adios! Food and summer, I won't miss I'm sure; But friends I'll remember - the fun, the obscure, the plain - even the ones who keep a score... Goodbye to you too, dear reader, until we meet again perhaps what was lived was not in vain...
