Your little biopic started me on a new train of thought, tsuwm, one which led me to discover that I have an incredibly tenuous connection to Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. It turns out that his father and my grandfather worked for the same railway company, Northwestern Railways, at the same time. While this might seem to be grasping at illusory straws, this sort of link is par for the course in New Zealand. Whenever anything of note happens involving anyone of note, our media will bend themselves into all sorts of tantric contortions in attempt to establish a NZ link to the event, many of which connections are much less substantial than my deep abiding karmic bond with the great physicist.
