Pandit, Vamanrao (1882-1941) was born with a marked talent for portrature, later honed by no less than two of the most celebrated artists of Europe, Philip de Laszlo and John Singer Sargent. Vamanrao has painted the well-known and well-heeled: Sir Dorab Tata, Sudhira Devi (Gayatri Devi's paternal aunt), Sir Cowasji Jehangir, Sir Ibrahim Rahimtoolah, Maharaja Sayajirao Geakwar, Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar and other 40 odd Maharajas, Ranas, Raos, Maharanas and Rajas from several princely states across India.

After his law education in London, Vamanrao moved to Vienna where Philip de Laszlo was already a recognised portraits in Europe. He spent four years with de Laszlo, travelling extensively throughout Europe visiting crowned heads of Europe and the aristocracy.

During this time, a friendship evolved between the two. De Laszlo made a suave portrait of the very handsome Vamanrao dressed as an Indian prince which was exhibited in 1907.

In 1097 Vamanrao moved back to London and joined the Royal Academy under Sargent. In his time in Europe, Vamanrao painted portraits of Lady Nina Corbet, Baron Arild Rosencrantz, the celebrated artist Otto Friedrick and the Countess of Bective among other aristocrats and nobility.

Vamanrao's style of portrature has the European academic approach and yet sports a distinct style - he used a muted colour palette and presented the jewels and pearls of his Indian sitters without overstating them. Says historian Sharada Dwivedi, who places Vamanrao's paintings 'an extremely high level' in the context of Indian art.

'There are many unsung artists. Vamanrao Pandit has been rediscovered now.

His portrature is as sensitive as, say, Raja Ravi Varma's or Dhurandhar's, although very different in style. He beautifully managed to get into the soul of the person.

It offers better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer, and smarter products for the home, for communications, for medicine, for transportation, for agriculture, and for industry in general. It is sometimes seen as "the next industrial revolution".

It is a revolutionary, transformative and powerful technology. Nanomedicine, (the engineering of tiny machines) an offshoot of nanotechnology, refers to the prevention and treatment of disease in the human body.

This discipline is in its infancy. It has the potential to change medical science dramatically in the 21st century.

The most elementary nanomedical devices will be used to diagnose illness. Chemical tests exist for this purpose; nanomachines could be employed to monitor the internal chemistry of the body.

Mobile nanorobots, equipped with wireless transmitters, might circulate in the blood and lymph systems, and send out warnings when chemical imbalances occur or worsen. Similar fixed nanomachines could be planted in the nervous system to monitor pulse, brain-wave activity, and other functions.

This book on nanomedicine touches upon some of the leading areas to which nanotechnology tools, materials, devices, and intelligent materials and machines are currently applied in medical research (less)
