- Long ago, in the nineteen seventies, I saw a book called "PHYSICS FOR
POETS". The
book was written by Professor Robert March of the University of

know
much about poetry. Here I am honored and delighted to present a biographical
sketch of Professor Raj Pathria who is not only a well-known physicist
but
also a published Urdu poet!
