[nukkad] Prof. G.T. Narayana Rao is no more



Famous science writer and rationalist Prof. G.T. Narayana Rao passed away this 
morning in Mysore this morning. 82 year old Prof. G.T. Narayana Rao was one man 
who always wrote about the Solstices and Equinox without fail, in the newspaper 
in Karnataka. I do recall coming across several of his articles.

Very recently he was awareded the Honorary Doctorate Degree by the Karnataka 
State Open University. Reading about his life and works would make you think 
like RK Narayan and Laxman. Full of wisdom, humor and a great deal of science. 

A short post in this list would not do justice to the man that he was. All that 
I can do is to direct you to a few links available on the net.
