Pint of View, founded in August 2025 by Harsh Snehanshu, Meghna Chaudhary, and Shruti Sah. This is a lecture series which brings scholars and artists together for short lectures inside bars. After debuting in Bengaluru with “Bats & Booze: The Secret Lives of Bats”, the series is now making waves in Delhi.  At the Delhi edition, Dr. Ramya Ahuja, a Materials Scientist and Mechanical Engineer, presented “How I Met Your Matter”, a talk exploring the wonders of material science. She admitted that preparing for the lecture was challenging but being able to move around, talk to people, and see them engage with new concepts made it all worth it.  Organisers Ayusi Misra and Anmol Grace said that the aim is to build a community where learning meets leisure and Delhi’s response so far has been incredible.

00:00How I met your matter was the topic of today's lecture.

00:08It wasn't really about me meeting my matter, so it wasn't about my backstory.

00:12It was about sharing what's really special about material science

00:16and how we start from the absolute basics

00:18and make the buildings and the bridges and the world around us.

00:21People who want to meet also want to learn something new that Ramya might be doing.

00:33Something new, some new resource that she is working on.

00:36So I think learning aspect of it, even though people are here to meet,

00:40some people might be here to meet, everyone is here to learn.

00:44I found out about this on Instagram and I am here because, well, I am a bit nerdy

00:49but also I was kind of curious about sustainable materials and all.

00:53So I wanted to know if I could get some new ideas

00:55regarding some of the things that I am working on.

00:59To a certain degree, I didn't get like the answers,

01:01all the answers that I was looking for.

01:02But it was fun, like just having this kind of interaction

01:07where you are talking about things that are happening,

01:09newer things that are happening in science or some new idea.

01:12That is always fun, at least fun to me.

01:14We have been waiting for lectures on tap to come to India

01:19or some similar concept to come to India which has been very famous abroad

01:24but it hasn't.

01:25So we decided to start something.

01:29This is probably one of the most difficult things I prepared for

01:32because my audience, I don't know what they want, you know.

01:35So we were talking about this before the talk that maybe there should be

01:38required reading or something before so that the basics people come prepared with.

01:43So that was something that I struggled with,

01:45that I had to get into a lot of basics that were not even fun for me

01:49and maybe not even as fun for the audience.

01:52And I wanted to do the fun stuff.

01:55It was a bit of a rollercoaster today's lecture

01:58but just being able to move around and meet people was great for me.

02:01So I had a good time.

02:04After college and after school we don't get these kind of places.

02:09I mean we come to restaurants and pubs but then nothing like getting professors

02:16and seasoned professionals into these settings.

02:21So what we are trying to do is making a community where people can talk about physics, chemistry, biology

02:31or maybe from data to democracy, from physics to philosophy.

02:36That's the whole idea.

02:42It's been a month now so happy birthday, one month birthday to us.

02:46We have done four lectures and we have received very, very good response from Delhi people.
