THE WEEK THAT WAS!!!!


I've been such an irregular blogger, now, you cannot blame my laziness for that, even though it exists in me. The reason i couldn't blog much was due to my tightly packed schedule.Having my final practical examinations going on. and have to really break my head for that, study for the theory exams banging on my face!!!!!!!But thanks to my college Reading Hall, I study there more than i would have studied in my room!
These days i get nightmares of being late to my practical examinations, not taking the required material and all that.
But one of the way i found out to beat frustation and stress is by listening to lounge music by Karunesh, it's nerve soothing and sort of spiritualistic touch to the music actually brings out some positivity in me.
Personally this week was quite good with my biochemistry practicals going on very smoothly especially the part i was most worried about THE STAINING AND FOCUSING. Got off it quite well!
The capsules of klebsellia pneumonia were very happy for me and were easily spotted in the microscope. Hope I am in equal or better luck for my remaining practicals and my exams too!
On the football front, I am a Gunner, and started following it very recently, and i was treated with a very sad news "ManU beats Arsenal by 4 goals...hmm....now what to say, lets not look at the back i said, it was just a [fa cup] game and a day gone bad, there's always the champions league to look forward too. Next match with AC milan score => 0-0....hm...NOT BAD!...atleast not disappointed!
On the BIOCHEMICAL FRONT!
Heard that M.S.G. [ajinomoto] is good for health?, well will have to read more about it, but no time now, only after I am done with my exams.
Now the use of internet to search things only restricted to the syllabus, after all the knowledge I have is going to be proved by my marks!
So till 12th march adios!

India And It's Science

We always come across the names of many scientists when we study any part of science. The best that we have done is research on already made inventions. But what about innovations, new ideas and inventions of technology?
It is not that India has not made progress. But whatever progress it has made is not up to the mark. To make it more clear let us compare ourself with China. 10-15 years back, China was scientifically backwards, and today it's contribution is nearly 15% to the world's scientific research while that of India is less than 3%.
The major reason for this is our attitude toward science. Science does not come to an end with the completion of post-graduation or any such degree. There is always something new to LEARN, something new to DISCOVER. As it is commonly said, 'There's a lot more than what meets the eye'. Science does not have a horizon. The study of any branch of science goes on till eternity and any sub-branch of it can never be out of vogue. As prof. C.N.R Rao once said, 'Today's science is tomorrow's technology'.
But unfortunately, research is not valued or given importance in our country. Plus the infrastructural facilities and the labs are insufficient to carry out highly developed research. This is mainly due to the scientific funding in India, which is as low as 1% of GDP. This is also the reason why India produces only 4000 PhDs compared to 10000 in Brazil and 16000 in China.
The only way to make India a knowledge superpower in the world is to mend all the bits and parts i.e. Government should give in a higher % of GDP towards scientific funding. The other important change is the change to be brought in our attitude towards science. Creativity cannot be thought, nor can the skill to think beyond. But we can create an environment which will promote innovations. Eventually when the passion for science is developed in a student , the student himself will be eager to find out more, which will lead to a glorius PhD or a research paper. These small amendments will make India a leading center of the knowledge world!!!!!

DUS KAHANIYA- The 10 predictable stories

It was a dull day. My alarm rang at 4.40 I turned it off and slept. After some time I yawned and looked at the time it was 5.30 and i was late!!!!!!AND SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART I WAS HAPPY !!!!!!!!because I will miss my early morning practicals. Still I got ready just like every other Tuesday morning and I boarded a train to my college. Fortunately or unfortunately it was a fast train and i reached college on time.
My friend met me and she said she has a plan of watching a movie "DUS KAHANIYA" i said the critics have given it a 3 and a half star so maybe the movie isn't that bad. I agreed. So finally our plan of going to the movie after the lectures was finalised.
The movie starts with a kaleidoscopic view of some scenes in the movie. Which ends on a scene where the first story starts. All the stories are interesting mostly based on the metro life and new cultures. Many of these stories have a lesson at it's end, like those we had when we were kids -" THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS"-. The cast is too good and Sanjay Gupta's direction also wasn't disappointing. The only drawback in the movie was the stories, yes there were twists but they could be easily predicted.
All in all it was a "PAISA VASOOL" movie. And even if you don't find the stories or acting interesting it has a good sound track as backup ;)
