The 60th birthday of Prof. Kamanio Chattopadhyay was celebrated on 26th february 2010. It was an occassion to cherish and many of his past students, colleagues, collaborators and friends joined us for the celebrations. The lab group prepared a video specially for the occasion reflecting upon his long and illustrious journey and all the wonderful people he has met along the way.

Prof. Chattopadhyay (or KC as we fondly know him) turned 65 years old on 26^th February 2015. As per rules, he superannuated from the institute. This was a moment for all of us to briefly pause and reflect on his long journey. To commemorate the occasion, his former students organised a two day symposium titled Metastable Microstructures and Electron Microscopy on 5^th & 6^th July 2015 in Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. As his friends and colleagues descended in Bangalore, each of them had many anecdotes and experiences to share thus making this occasion a memorable one for him and us. Though primary organizers of the event were Prof. N. Ravishankar, Prof. K. Biswas and Prof. G. Phanikumar, other former and current students actively participated in the event.
