Team owner Mukesh Kochhar hails 'outstanding’ ladies as he pays tribute to his tried and tested squad of players

I must confess that recently I got the distinct impression that my friend Dipankar, who is a nuclear physicist, was goofing off. I mean, instead of mucking around with Higgs particles and other vector bosons that go quark at night, as one would imagine physicists should be deeply delving into, he and some of his colleagues got far more involved in an afternoon with a glass of water and a cork.
Rallying around that tumbler, they filled it half full of water first and immediately proceeded to float a cork in the middle. They found that it would invariably migrate to any one edge of the glass, stick to the wall side, and stay there. On the other hand, when they filled the water right up to the brim and then some and floated that same cork back on, no migration took place. It just hung around there, plumb dead in the middle. In fact, if the cork was deliberately placed towards one edge, it hurried back to the centre.
Now I'm no great physics dude but I still considered things like surface tension, convex and concave meniscuses, Brownian motion, hydrostatic forces and a host of other beauties of fluid dynamics and still came up zilch. But guess what - here's the real snorter: when I asked my friend to spill it, he said he had no idea why but he and his colleagues were working on it. So does anyone want to out physics a physicist?
