good edu insti= (co-curricular+extra-curricular) activities + ample of opportunities = keeping students on the toes :)

"Things to do after exam" and "sleep" have no intersection if represented using a venn diagram! intersection is actually a null set...;)

It is in the best of human interest that majority of the human population believes in #god, one god would have been ideal though!

why do somethings seem so obvious after their discovery? they never seem so obvious before that at any pt of time ??? #science

I love and respect ' Homo sapiens ' they make 'FRIENDS' 'BEST FRIENDS' and 'FRIENDSHIP' :)

encounter with failure is necessary to take failure positively and talk abt it... it is an imp lesson learnt! so it better be early

whn u dont know something...u get the freedom and liberty to speculate anything, which is logical of course!

shld eat whn u r hungry and not whn its 'the' time to eat! like now :P

it makes REAL sense to do things...when u FEEL the NEED for it! like getting drunk :P

when ppl say short term memory loss they actually mean gold fish memory!

Hawking trending 4 sounding Atheist! he might not but millions out thr do believe in god! God can definitely start TT's if not universe lol

Murphy's Unspeakable Law: As soon as you mention something.. if it's good, it goes away. If it's bad, it happens(almst alwys happens 2 me):|

ABUSE is the best form of anger management evolved till date! I believe in it...everyone should!

@twitter

tweet on twitter and not twit on twitter or tweet on tweeter..anyways keep tweeting :P :D :) tweet (almost sounds lik a hiccup now) tweet

Formula 4 networking/influence index=(Twitter followers)x2+(FB connections)divided by2(2010 TIME 100)compute tweet,profile info in d making!

twitter stats r worth researching on!spl.ly wld b interesting 2 lk at d popularity as function of time,followers,RT n appearance of cheaters

Answer to life universe and everything (on twitter) is '140' (not 42)...thankfully we already know the Question??? What's happening?

 aft sumtime social netwking bcomes boring but this isn't d case wid "twitter" definitely not wid "blog" n will nevr happen 2 ur inbox

min. val of(following/followers)^no.of tweets shws u hrdly listn-u dont care wat ppl think abt u-still ppl follow u-u r famous-u r d king!!!

Tweets that remind me of AWESOME time dated then…

what do i like abt twitter? Don't know? all i know is i love twitter..its simple, its social n not so social at d same time ;)

on twitter u should knw whom 2 follow, coz it is 'the' thing tat decides wat u r going to read n wat awesome things u might stumble upon!

wat can potentially trend on twitter can never be predicted accurately! analogous 2 protein structure predictions, selection pressures et al

Trending on twitter is analogous to being on TV during the good old days..mostly a tru n definitely a direct replica of being famous! #saina

RT aka retweet

@edyong209 @RogerHighfield It's about time the public realised science is mainly done by 23 yr olds with hangovers.

someone made my day today ...on the epic journey from Pune to mum...it was awesome talking to a complete stranger!

wish could have an awesome discussion today..my mind is in a gr8 mood of spurting ideas and aphorisms!!!

and so it went on....and continues to be #awesome and when my blog link can be tweeted on twitter Why not Twitter on blog! :) :D :)

 I hope tweeple enjoy reading it...and can possibly connect to their twitter time! :)

For someone who isn’t on twitter or is figuring out wat it is…

Facebook is for the people in your class! ..Twitter is for people you wish were in your class :D

Also an advice from my side…

It’s the most important thing to follow right people in life… if you succeed you have an awesome time on twitter; no whr u get to ignore, block and not follow the known stay away types and follow the unknown befriend types J

Hope this relationship continues for years to come…Happy New Year!

An official guide to twitter lingo. Enjoy!

TRANCE...

1.       I am on some beach with my family and few friends …we find a place to settle down and hog on some sandwiches that we packed for ourselves and head straight to the waves. Its day time but its not sunny as one might expect. But it’s just a perfect day as it happens to be in the month of July in Mumbai…all cloudy dark and rainy…a day when you feel hitting the Worli Sea face and getting hit by those marvellous but dangerous waves!Now amidst enjoying our splashes in the kind of violent sea suddenly with one wave we all get  smeared with sand what is popularly known as ‘reti’ the grayish black one. And I manage to kind of take it along with the water down my throat. So now its kind of chocking me, I am coughing hard, spitting at a very high frequency…in the middle of this may be when I am in the TRANCE  of sleep and being awake I open my eyes see myself lying on my bed and trying to spit! A part of hygiene conscious, neat and tidy me saying don’t spit you will spoil your bed!!! Other which is fortunately more practical (and understands life comes a zillion light years before being clean and all that) saying you are chocking you idiot spit, spIT, SPIT and… I open my eyes SPIT! Observe that it’s just few drops of saliva there wipe it off and sleep back!!! After I get up few hours later I feel eew for once and then feel thankful...my survival instincts are all at place and functional! :) 
2.     I was at some pool in Mumbai it was an awesome huge pool I must say, swimming rounds after rounds enjoying all the swim activity TOTALLY. The pool was scarcely populated I mean may be 5-6 ppl in that huge pool so no one can possibly bump into each other. I get out of the pool and meet one of my acquaintances she is a doc now from JJ and suddenly there is some another lady there who starts interviewing her right there! She asks her a question it was some nice question I remember just that… to which my friend cant answer...at the same time even I am thinking of the answer but can’t get to it...I kind of give up! The lady who asked the question in the first place she herself answers it … can you beat that!!! And in the TRANCE as I call it … I am wondering DAMN IT its my BRAIN - my DREAM, my brain is formulating these questions that are coming through this lady and still I myself can’t answer it at one moment and at the very next moment MY very own brain answers it through that god damn lady!!! COMPLICATED phew!Later in the morning I tried real hard to remember that question but failed! But I must say it was a good question cause it gave me a nice feeling when it was asked and again when it was answered! :)
3.      Now this was just outside Matunga central station I am alone I mean there are people around me like they would have been near the stn as always but I am not accompanied by any of my friends or colleagues or acquaintances. I am heading towards the stn and I see one man heading in opposite direction to which I am moving …we both cross each other and at the very moment I smell that he is heavily drunk and say to myself ‘bevada s****’ Now again in the trance I think how can I smell in my dreams and believe me I actually did smell in real, that moment!!! I mean seeing a thing clearly is kind of okay normal, but this was the first time I smelt in my dream! It was kind of eureka moment in my sleep and I slept again!My first encounter with smell in my dream! Don’t know why but I was kind of happy that morning! It was as if I had discovered re-discovered the sense of smell…! lol
4.      Once I was on a visit to some school or college and there was this huge old building which had an auditorium hosting some function. Don’t remember what was the assembly all about but I was there to attend.  The auditorium was filled with students - girls and boys at least 500 (rounded off to lowest fig. definitely much more) all were seated occupying the benches /chair whatever. I was moving back towards the end rows in search of a seat. Trust me I could actually see faces of all the students I passed none of them I knew or have had seen before or even later in my life! Again in the TRANCE I think how my mind can make up these distinct,entire human faces all at once! I am over burdening it of generating too much of data… move out, move out of the auditorium...NOW  and I moved out and my dream continued outside the Audi!

I  wonder in awe about the marvellous thing that evolved and happened to all of us called BRAIN!!!

P.S : Article in SciAm on 'seeing' in the dreams! 

What are you working on?

A question that comes to me *too* often these days after the initial greetings and what are you upto these days inquiries!

I truly appreciate the curiosity and I like it when someone is interested in knowing what kind of work do I do?

BUT the point is the people asking this very *interesting* questions are in our common usage terms *layman*

Just to give an example,

If I am working in the depths of Mariana trench, they are at the shore/the beach! And now, how will one at the shore in *unscientific (read sane/layman)* terms understand and if by a very gross mistake understand; appreciate the need, fun and challenge in doing something AWESOME called *RESEARCH* which in the general perception is a boring, insane activity restricted to the nerdy, whimsical minority!

I mean when I was working for my dissertation,

I at least had *circuits* handy- to which if I attach genetic its okay! Cause out of *genetic circuits* people definitely have heard of circuits (I don’t expect them to know what it is, the meaning part, except for those with science background) but it’s okay I mean! SAVER

And then comes *protein* (in my mind- sorry no substitute available here, might give milk protein caesin as an example but no SUBSTITUTE) and then this *protein* (still the person figuring out what I just said) is never produced in constant amount (Why? I don’t allow them to ask or this question never comes to the person’s mind, don’t know! BUT THANK GOD) so, we have designed a circuit which will produce the protein in constant amounts! Tadaa!!!

And there is SILENCE Golden SILENCE until one of us comes up with a CHANGE of Topic!!!

BTW now I work on expression of stress, cell division and repair related genes in E.coli, which has been evolved for 2000 generations in the lab under Oligophilic low nutrient conditions!

I better not talk about this one!!! STRESS (in cell?) REPAIR (what to repair, in a cell?) and EVOLUTION!!! (BTW almost everyone knows or has heard of Darwin J )

(I wish to appear SANE to the layman’s world, I am no different! I am your kin, your species! )

I think every RESEARCHER/someone doing SCIENCE must have gone through such a dilemma where you are so eager to talk about your work; but even after trying hard, harder and still Hard(btw if you do this you are boring) you are not satisfied with your own explanation and convinced that the other person *layman* has not understood it! I go through this definitely!

Nonetheless, howsoever boring I might sound while I talk about my work to you (which is in the *true* sense, is not boring, you fail to appreciate it due to: still figuring out what?)

I LOVE DOING IT

IT’S AWESOME

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!

            

P.S: All special characters are intended!

ROFL :D

Our one and only beloved Calvin !!! From the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip by Bill Watterson (as if the intro was required? ;) hehe


Calvin selling lemonade:

-(Susie) 15 bucks a glass?!

-(Calvin) That's right! want some?

-(Susie) How do you justify charging 15 dollars?!

-(Calvin) Supply and demand

-(Susie) Where's the demand?! I don't see any demand!

-(Calvin) There's LOTS of demand!

-(Susie) Yeah?

-(Calvin) Sure! as the sole stockholder in this enterprise, I DEMAND monstrous profit on my investment! And as president and ceo of the company, I DEMAND an exorbitant annual salary! And as my own employee, I DEMAND a high hourly wage and all sorts of company benefits! and THEN there's overhead and actual production costs!

-(Susie) But it looks like you just threw a lemon in some sludge water!

-(Calvin) Well, I have to cut expenses SOMEwhere if I want to stay competitive

-(Susie) What if I got sick from that?

-(Calvin) "Caveat Emptor" is the motto we stand behind! I'd have to charge more if we followed health and environmental regulations

-(Susie) You're out of your mind. I'm going home to drink something else

-(Calvin) Sure! Put me out of a job! It's you anti-business types who ruin the economy!

Calvin frowns and walks into his house, once inside says to his mother:

-(Calvin) I need to be subsidised




Another one....


I've concluded that nothing bad I do is my fault. (Calvin)
Oh? (Dad)

Right! Being young and impressionable, I'm the helpless victim of countless bad influences. An unwholesome culture panders to my undeveloped values and pushes me to maleflicence. (Calvin)

I take no responsibility for my behavior. I'm an innocent pawn. It's society's fault. (Calvin)
Then you need to build more character. Go shovel the walk. (Dad)

These dicussions never go where they're supposed to. (Calvin)


Also...Hobbes at his best...


Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. 

Friends!!!

Few of the rare captured 'Friends' moments!!!

I wish all of them were captured....nonetheless

Celebrating Friendship with Friends!!!

kiddos us!

:) :D ;) :P times!!!
