The DAAD (the German Academic Exchange Service) published a comprehensive reader about „The Adventure of Research“ for young Indian scientists in Germany. 28 stories from students all over India who participated in the exchange programme and studied at a German university. They tell how their studies abroad have been „A Boost to Capacity and Personality Building“ (Ritwick Ghosh), „Why German Trains are Always on Time“ (Mahesh Lokesh), describe „The Tuesday Coffee Room Talks“ (Harikesh Arunachalam) or their „5,000 Panorama Pictures of Europe“ (Krishna Kanth Kilambi) and much more.
„I wanted to experience research at an international level, and DAAD made it possible. This experience has been very memorable and enjoyable and I am sure it will be one of the important milestones in my career.“
