About C. V. Raman

Indian physicist who won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the Raman effect, demonstrating that light changes wavelength when scattered by molecules. He was the first Asian Nobel laureate in science.

C. V. Raman the Scorpio

Scorpio does not do shallow. A fixed water sign traditionally ruled by Mars and modernly by Pluto, Scorpio is drawn to whatever is real and hidden: the actual feeling under the polite answer, the thing nobody says at dinner. Small talk is a chore; the conversation at 2am is where Scorpio comes alive.
