Cellist Raman Ramakrishnan has performed in the city before, but there's renewed interest this time thanks to his Nobel Laureate dad, scientist Venkatraman Ramakrishnan. An exclusive interview

Thirty-three-year-old Raman Ramakrishnan comes from a family of scientists, and holds a Bachelors degree from Harvard's in physics. Not that it ever even once stopped him from choosing chamber music over science. In fact, he tells us in an exclusive e-mail interview, how his music fraternity has more scientists than one would know or imagine.
