They are really fond of India and Indian culture. They can talk for hours and hours about it! During a very late (table) poster presentation by Nandini, I learned that she was giving classes about Indian spices in the biggest auditorium of the KUL (the university in Leuven) and that Jean-Etienne had to race 160 km/h in order to make it in time for the grand show. A big dhanyavad for both their contributions for the show! Nandini was dressed in a saree, which not only looked very nice, but also was vital in convincing the Punjabi restaurant owner to let us enter and serve thalis so late at night. Afterwards it was with pain in my heart that I had to wave their little red Corvette goodbye...but perhaps they and their friends will be back in Leuven to be present on 23 June for the India event at IMEC. I just hope that Jean-Etienne doesn't have to floor it again on the highway from Liege! (But then again, what else do own a Corvette for?)
