I'm in Bengal LaRue in India, and I'm in a really special lecture theatre.

Adverbs of frequency

And it's not just special because of this chalk holder and never seen one like this before.

But it's special because this is the Lecture Theatre, where the very famous Indian scientists CV Rahman, use the lecture on DDE in the institute, which he built in 1948.

My father hurt in lecture in 1930 when he was in the UK, but this is the closest I'll ever get here.

In his lecture theatre, he was a famous spectroscope, pissed on a famous collector of minerals.

But before we look in the bin rules, let me show you something.

Brady always feels that you get really close to somebody when you use their walking stick, so it's almost like holding Roman's hand.

Roman was born in 18 88 and he died in 1970 a year after I started doing research.

So this institute is still doing research on Dhe.

There is a museum here of the things that belong to Roman, and this his stick is one of them.

CV Roman is really famous because he won the Nobel Prize and here, and this is the first time you've ever seen it on our videos.

This is what you get when you win the Nobel Prize and you can see here it says the name of the Swedish Royal Academy.

It's all in Latin's or and Swedish, so I can't work out exactly what it says.

It looks great and it's all hand painted because they make a special one for every Nobel Prize winner.

And Rahman is particularly special because he was the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize, and he is still the only Indian scientist who has won the Nobel Prize for doing science here in India.

He was also the first person in the whole of Asia to win a Nobel Prize.

So this is the citation, and here is you can perhaps guess is the metal the medal has on one side the portrait of Nobel and on the other side has a picture of the scientist unveiling nature.

We've only discovered a small amount about nature so far, so the scientist is still unveiling her head underneath.

It has Roman's name engraved quite modestly, and the year of the Nobel Prize, which was 1930.

I think a lot of people must have handled this, but I feel extremely honored to have bean allowed toe hold this on DDE.

It's something that I'll remember for many years.

Roman gave his last lecture in this theatre on the second of October 1970 on.

Less than a month later, sadly, he died and he was cremated just outside.

After Roman died in the Indian tradition, he was cremated and he was cremated here, just outside the institute that he had built.

And now the place where he was cremated has a tree that was planted on it just after he died.

And many years later, this area has become a football field and you can see the tree is on the center line of the football pitch on DDE.

Surprisingly, the tree is actually on the pitch, so Rahman, who apparently was not very keen on sports, now finds himself on the edge of a football pitch.

 So now I'm going to show you Rahman's collection of minerals.
