June, 2025: Completed a new book on Graph theory: Graphs, Games, Algorithms
Description: Some of the special chapters are called ``gems from grad school". These are beautiful results discovered by people while they were graduate students. Maybe one of these stories will inspire you too. Who knows where the next big idea will come from!
The book is extremely modular so read the chapters that appeal to you first.
Part 1 (Better Way) introduces some of the concepts using puzzles
Part 2 (Way Better) covers algorithms
Part 3 (Many Senses of a Graph) surveys some of the themes.
This is intended to be a short fun book covering graph theory and algorithms, designed to be useful irrespective of your major. Feel free to send me feedback

PhD Poem
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...
