Welcome to my mathematical world!

I am a former Indian diplomat (1975 batch, Indian Foreign Service), mathematician, and internationally rated chess player, with a career spanning active mathematical research (in Number Theory) and international diplomacy. Post my retirement from the services to the Indian government in 2013, I was an Adjunct Professor of Mathematics at the Harish-Chandra Research Instititue, Prayagraj (Allahabad) for a period of four years during 2014-2019. This is a premier fundamental research institute under the aegis of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. 

Furthermore, my life was featured in the eighteenth essay of the publication A Mathematical Medley: Fifty Easy Pieces on Mathematics. You may read a copy of the essay  here.
