"Chai pe charcha"

We start by briefly discussing axions and inflation. Amartya then rambles about the structure of vacua in compactified theories. Chetan discusses an interesting relationship between moduli stabilization and compactification. We then finally move onto actually relevant things like Santhosh's literary excursions, Spotify ads, and everything but physics, reminding us of our "good ol' days" at the MDP tea stall.
