Meeting with Dr. Abhiyankar

How it all started?

On May 3, 2012,

I met with a former scientist, Dr. Abhiyankar, who was willing to help me in my personal project as a guider. We discussed several things and came up with the idea of renewable energy - coal, petroleum, natural wind and solar energy, and biomass. He worked with me for at least 2 hours and came up with a few notes which would help me initiate the project. He asked me to make an index page and pinpoint my sub topics on which I would start researching as soon as possible. We also discussed the forms of energy and how it is consumed - electricity, nuclear, gas, solar which provides thermal, light, heat etc. The benefits and detriments of renewable and non-renewable energy were part of the research I planned to do. Dr. Abhiyankar gave a me a National Geographic Channel DVD which talked about basic science.
