Trivia
AIR 1 in JAM 2004: I was the all India 1st rank holder for Physics in the Joint Admission Test for MSc conducted by the IITs in 2004. That year, incidentally, the JAM system started.
I wrote 3 papers during my college days (studying B.Sc. Physics). One of these papers (Inverse Vector Operators, arXiv:0804.2239) looks useful and is referred in some serious research works!
In this paper, "inverse" of curl, divergence and gradient operations are defined to easily calculate potential functions from the given field functions. Although a small work, done as a young college student, it remains very dear to me!
