An annual discussion meeting and conference that brings together experimental, theoretical spectroscopists and dynamicists from India and abroad. The focus is on extended talks followed by invigorating discussions during poster sessions. The meeting is usually held in a resort, a place that is slightly off the road from the usual crowd. This time the annual meeting in February 2019 was jointly organized by a Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur at the Koti Resort, Shimla.
