Ah, those fellowships aim to lure brilliant young minds back to India's academia, with Ramanujan for returning scientists and Ramalingaswami for those within the country. They lead to a permanent position *if* you survive the system's labyrinth. But from this lab balcony, I've seen too many of these gifted fellows drown in administrative silt, their research energy spent battling for basic equipment. My father's tea stall taught me a raw balance sheet: a fellowship is a promise, but a running compiler after dusk is the real currency.
