Bangalore

Like a second home.

Ah, home. I was excited to return to Bangalore, after having been away for six years.  Bangalore, especially the area around the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), still feels a bit like home (we lived here for a year in 2008-09).  This week, I am in Bangalore with a group of Dartmouth colleagues to explore a potential academic relationship with IISc, and for me it is also an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends from our life here 16 years ago.

Spring flowers

Spring flowers burst forth in March and continue to this day.

Spring has been truly beautiful in Zürich, starting in late March with the daffodils and flowering trees.   The city plazas and hillside gardens have all been in bloom, making it a delight to walk through the hillside neighborhoods. Every week a new phase seems to begin – the wisteria and chestnut trees have faded, but the azaleas are now bursting with a range of hues. Over time, I’ve captured a few photos of these colorful displays, and share them in a gallery here. Below is our neighbor, the Liebfrauen church.
