Background

About Sumiran Pujari

Full-time theoretical physicist. Algorithm de-signer but not a coder at heart. Amateur mathematician, writer, musician, coffee hobbyist. Also an amateur sports and fitness enthusiast who is generally not very fit. Thinks he is also a natural philosopher (pun intended). Aspiring jester or fool in the Shakespearean sense in various Whatsapp groups and now on Linkedin and also the world at large."All the world's a stage." and all that; the Sambalpuri word ବେଢ଼ା (beda or beṛa) captures the idea quite perfectly! Not an atheist neither a traditional theist. Spiritual non-seeker. Enjoys discussions on interesting topics both physics and otherwise. Sometimes a conversationalist in the neighbourhood bar, canteen or library. Bad knees and a stable enough mind. Ambivert- Some explanation for the use of "non." word constructions in my Linkedin profile is in a non-work blog post at https://lnkd.in/dPWDVT_2 - PS: I come from the state of Odisha in India as seen from my educational background. April 1st is celebrated as "Utkala dibas" or "Odisha day" from where I come from. April 1st is also more famously April fools' day. This coincidence ties in nicely with my aspirations above, again coincidentally :)(Utkala refers to the historical kingdom from the geographical region and finds a mention in the national anthem of India. Odisha - erstwhile Orissa - is the name in the present day of this geographic-linguistic territory. More details from Google: In ancient times, the region encompassing modern-day Odisha was known by various names, including Kalinga, Utkala (or Utkaḷa), and Odra Desha. Utkala specifically referred to the northern part of the Kalinga region, sometimes interpreted as "ut-Kalinga". The name Utkala may also have meant "the land of finest art"(utkarsha kala). The name Utkala is also mentioned in India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, and Utkala Dibasa (lit."Odisha Day") is celebrated on April 1st, commemorating the establishment of the Orissa Province in 1936. In 2011, the english spelling of state's name ଓଡ଼ିଶା was officially changed from Orissa to Odisha or Oḍiśā [and that of the state language's name ଓଡ଼ିଆ was officially chaned from Oriya to Odia or Oṛiā].)
