If there was a place to be for physics lovers across the world, it had to be the sprawling premises of CERN (Centre for European Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. In the wake of the discovery of Higgs Boson, referred to as the the God Particle, the centre was abuzz with scientists, journalists, diplomats, politicians and students from the world over. Present among them was a scientist from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), who, like the others, couldn’t contain his excitement.
