An annual, low-key engagement this time of the year in Chandigarh is meeting participants of the Summer Program in Punjab Studies run by the dedicated Prof Gurinder Singh Mann. For the 13^th year, he has brought together a bright group of academics who have an interest in Punjab and its various aspects.  Prof Mann was at Columbia University when I lived in New York in the 1980s and I have fond memories of that time.
