Abstract

In 1978 when I met Ajit Kembhavi he was excited about someone called Vishveshwara who had come back from USA to the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore and was the head of a relativity group consisting of D. M. Chitre and N. D. Haridass. Ajit had worked on a project with him on compact objects and Sanjeev Dhurandhar was soon to also join him as a post doc. I was then a student with Arvind Kumar at the Bombay university working on problems of quantum field theories (QFT) in curved spacetimes(CST). The first relativity meeting we went to was the Einstein Centenary symposium at Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. Though I have many wonderful memories of the symposium the most memorable one was Vishu’s lecture entitled ‘Black Holes for Bedtime’ [1]. To me it was a magical experience; an exotic cocktail of science, art, humour and caricature. Equations of the kind I was struggling with in my thesis were not necessarily abstract and unspeakable. They could as well be translated in the best literary tradition.
