Entrance Exam Phobia:
It was in the first week of May, 2008 that I had just finished my graduation from B.S.A College with Zoology, Botany and Chemistry and the big question was in front of me, where to get admission for my M.Sc ?.
Although I have been an above average student throughout my carrier but still has faced a no. of unnecessary problems because of my bad luck. My passion has always been to learn and understand the basis of life at molecular level so was greatly interested in pursuing my masters in biotechnology or biochemistry. The competition for M.Sc in Biotech as well as in Biochemistry was too stuff and with minimal amount of knowledge acquired by my own efforts it always looks to me uphill task. The problems were not at all limited to my basic knowledge which I could improve, but the main problem was my shy nature and my homesickness and always wanted to remain close to my home so was not interested in filling application forms for far away university as well as my university session was also going too late and I was in the doubt that even if I will make it to a good university then still it would be much tough to get admitted.
I had applied for M.Sc in Biochemistry in Jamia Millia Islamia, with a slight ray of hope and had cleared its written test. The interview was scheduled just two days later and I decided to give it my best shot. I almost skipped my lunch and dinner for the last two days the syllabus was huge to revise and being haunted by the fact that if not this exam then I will have to take a year drop.
With mixed feelings of exam phobia, and the load of my parents expectations on my shoulder I entered into the interview hall.
The first person I saw was a lady Dr Seemi Fahrat Basir and along with her was sitting Prof. Luqman Ahmed Khan from dept. of Biochemistry.
Dr Seemi very generously asked me to have a seat I sat down thinking that now I am going to be slaughtered.
The questions were basic in nature and I almost answered them all. At last Dr Seemi asked me where do you see yourself if you are selected and if not what will you do ?
I answered her simply that mam, I have lived everyday in my village (rural area) dreaming of attending a college of high standard and would give my 100 % if selected and if not I will take a year gap improve my knowledge and sit for similar examination the next year. She instantaneously replied ok young man we give you the opportunity don’t disappoint us. The next day the student admission list was displayed to my surprise I was at the second position.

Ragging:
Although ragging was almost banned in the college premises but introduction used to take place. All of my friends were equally feared by the fact that what could happen next. The most tragic moment was when a fight broke out between Namita Gihar of my class with our senior. It led to a end to the introductory session in middle mean while we made her the star of our class and she was awarded with the title of the “KHUNKAR BIOCHEMIST”.

Life at Jamia Millia Islamia: A bit sour and sweet
Vision of Jamia Millia Islami:
JMI was a mixture of cultures; it had the taste of mughal architecture, the lucknow age of respect, the hindu culture of respect to gurus, and the true color of unity in diversity. The most important factor that had strengthened the integrity of JMI was the support that the university offered in Indian independence struggle by participating in non cooperation moment when AMU stood with britishers.

Examination:
There were regular examination sessions in JMI including the internal tests it was in one of this test that I met one of my best friend Vijay. There came a question on Aquaporins I just asked hey, bhai “kuch aata hai to bata” bola “Nani aata” but still he kept answering the question. I just told him show it to me. He said “mat copy kar” maine bola “Just let me copy”. Finally the exam got over I went to him and asked him brother its amazing that you answered a question which was out of course. He said actually I never knew the answer I was according to my inner instinct. I was shocked both of us got zero marks in that question but became great friends.
Vijay used to get frustrated by the questions of his neighbor aunty used to ask what you will do after M.Sc. Sometimes he used to get frustrated and speak out that I will answer her, “Will marry your daughter after M.Sc anything more?????”

Library: The treasure of Knowledge:
As the hostel facility was limited in nature and power supply was much limited in delhi so almost all hostlers and students were forced to spend a large part of the day and night within library which was centrally A.C. Library study offered us all an opportunity to interact with each other students from different departments became great friends, the last benches were our seat we three friends Vijay, Vishawnath and me myself used to spend time from 6 A.M to 12 P.M almost daily on those seats. Our friendship become stronger to strongest sharing breakfast, lunch and dinner together in same plates within our central cantten, and how can I forget Mohit (Central canteen chef) who always kept special “Thalis” for us.
The most amazing seen was created in the afternoon when both of my friends used to take a nap (sleep) by putting their heads on the desks, but I was not able to sleep as such so used to sleep over the desk using my books as a pillow. Even we were specially recognized by the library facility because we use to come to library at 6:30 A.M while the time of library opening was 7 A.M we had over special evening tea of discussion by Mustafa who used to give us a miss call as he comes in the evening to sell tea outside library

The Secret crust that we had:
Never to mention it up here, there was a girl in the engineering department who used to sit just beneath us in the library. We all decided that once our examination will be over we will have a talk with her and began to seriously prepare for the examination as we didn’t want to lose our focus.
Ultimately the exams ended, when Vishawnath came to me and said brother I would like to sacrifice for you I am out of the race, then came Vijay who said same here brother I am also not interested. Smelling something fishy I doubted them and went outside for a walk where saw her becoming much close to some other guy and I returned to my friends and said your sacrifices have opened my eyes and now my heart is filled with respect for you both and want to sacrifice for you both. Ultimately Vijay said “Bhai tujhe bhi sachai pata chal gai cha lab phad lete hai!”.

Best brains nourishing young talents:
My class was filled with colors from almost all regions of the country from North India to South India. Top 20 best brains of the country were with me. Crack rune what a faculty we had Dr Seemi Fahrat Basir known for Immunological studies throughout Delhi, Dr Luqman Ahmed Khan whose biochemistry was not limited to chemical reactions but one had to give the answers of each and every C-atom within the chemical reactions, never to leave Pranav Kumar the director of The Pathfinder academy whose molecular biology was mind blowing. Other faculties included were Dr Jawid, Dr Rizvi, Dr Tasneem, Dr Meryam Sardar, and many more each specialized in their fields.
I am a lazy guy and used to be almost always late in my class and always got last seat to be seated from where board was hardly visible ultimately I used to take all the books of my friends and used to sit over them.

The Final year of our M.Sc:
As the results of M.Sc-Ist came all of us got promoted to the next year the only thing that hurt me was that among us Vijay got just 67% although we knew that he had to improve his English a bit but never reflected it out in front of him but supported him. Vishawnath was topper among us while our class topper was Subodh Joshi, she was a learning machine. Vishawnath was a friend of friend and helped us both in studies and supported us.
In M.Sc-II year my day started at 6:30 A.M with the call of my friend Vijay, speaking “We are getting late come on we have to study he use to be so excited that today we would be finishing the entire syllabus”, but when we used to return at 11 P.M from our library Vijay use to absuse a lot about the limited scope of the subject, the large no of responsibilities he had but will again come tomorrow morning at the same time.
Nothing shines like success:
Hard work conquers all !. We all both of my friends and me not only cleared M.Sc with flying colors but also cleared CSIR-NET-JRF with under 100 Ranks in CSIR-JRF/ NET-JRF. Moreover, there were other entrance examinations which we cleared in the form of ICMR-JRF, GATE-MHRD, HSCST-JRF, etc. Wow how good time passes so soon we found it out on the day of our farewell. It was on this day that we realized that we would me moving apart but had remained ever since as best friends !

]]> <![CDATA[My Semester Abroad at Connecticut College]]> https://www.biotechnologyforums.com/thread-6932.html Fri, 01 May 2015 15:37:30 +0000 MannBhargavi]]> https://www.biotechnologyforums.com/thread-6932.html
It was the first time ever I saw snow(other than on T.V) physically. It was the first time ever I was out of India. It was the first flight experience. It was the first time ever I was so far away from my parents. I still remembered their happy-sad faces at the airport as they waved at me. They were proud of me getting the scholarship to study one semester abroad on a student exchange but sad to see me go. I missed them but I was happy.
 
It was like living inside a dream I never wanted to get over, I wasn't dressed enough to bear that cold in New York, but my excitement and happiness was too high to feel the cold and all the snow only amplified the happiness.

University of Mysore had made arrangements to take me and the other student, who also received the same scholarship, to Connecticut College from JFK airport. We hopped in the cab with another Indian student from the college, who came to receive us. His father was responsible for the student exchange program in our college in India, and we were the first ones from our college. There were so many first time at once!

I didn't feel jet lag despite the 11 hr time difference. I enjoyed the drive from New York to New London, from chills down my spine sky scraper to breathtaking countryside. When we reached the campus, I felt it was a small town in itself. The campus was so scenically beautiful I fell in love with it immediately.

We were provided with our respective dorm room keys inside an envelope. I smiled. We were informed that the hostels are unisex there and that may be a bit of cultural shock for us. But I felt warm and welcomed by all. Everyone on my floor were so considerate when they learnt I was from India and assured me they would do nothing that would make me feel disrespected.

I was helped by random students I didn't know to get to nearby Wal-Mart, buy bedding & other necessary stuff for my room, to find my classes and one of my professors even let me have her laptop for the semester (as I didn't have one). I enrolled into classes for Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Scanning Electron Microscope, and beginners ice skating( for extra points and extra fun).

Classes were not just educational but highly interactive. We were asked to make reports based on our understanding of the previous class in biochemistry. In genetics the professor was such a fun sport, that all I mostly remember of that class is solving genetics problems and laughing and solving the problems was just as fun!

I enjoyed Microbiology classes the most, 180 degree to how I felt in India.

Professor Bernard made us watch short movies based on each microbial disease we were covering that semester and had discussions on the same in next class. It was also the first time that we were allowed to do the experiments ourselves, unlike watching our teachers do, or doing it in pairs or teams. We even chose a topic to do a project (based on topics we covered) and do a poster presentation for the same. I chose Biofilms for I was fascinated by them since the very first time Professor Bernard mentioned them in the class. And she wasn't the only one that made the class so interesting. I would always come early to class to be able to sit next to Andrew, the red head Spanish guy I wouldn't stop smiling every time I thought of him. Eventually we became friends after he came to my rescue every time I messed up the lab experiment. Swear I did not do them on purpose!

Besides he wasn't my only crush there. What do you do when your Ice skating instructor looks like older version of Channing Tatum, who gives you a hand and helps you get back on your feet every time you fall hard on your butt in the rink?

I had another great experience when I could study Drosophila under SEM (Scanning electron Microscope), staining their body parts with Immunogold and studying them, observing them in a closed room!! Something I definitely would not have got to do in the college back here.

I also got to experience the two exclusive Connecticut college festivals/celebrations :

Floralia - A festival to welcome spring and.....what happens in floralia, stays in floralia....!

Fish Bowl - I would rather not discuss it (laughing)!!

All in all I made some great friends there, met; and got to study and learn under some amazing professors while having a wonderful time. It is one of those experiences I would cherish forever. It was one of the most memorable part of MY COLLEGE LIFE!]]>

It was one of the most memorable part of MY COLLEGE LIFE!]]> <![CDATA[GLA University : A place where I learned to become more self confident !]]> https://www.biotechnologyforums.com/thread-6927.html Fri, 01 May 2015 09:44:22 +0000 shreyashivarshneya]]> https://www.biotechnologyforums.com/thread-6927.html This is me sharing my experiences about GLA University. I came here in August 2014 and decided to pursue my Master's in Microbiology and Immunology. I came to know about this place through my father. Though it's a good university in this region . I had completed my Bachelor's from Banasthali University .  Cool
Apart from this I want to mention that , It is the only university I guess which offers dual degree program in M.Sc . It is a very good thing to achieve here !
 College life is really unique that teaches us something special which can be an inspiration for every student. For everyone, college life can be different as everybody has different places to choose for their study . One can achieve something great , while some are not able to achieve up to their expectations . As, Failures are the pillars of success, so we should not forget to try again and again ! Trying on something gives us more confidence and strong determination to achieve something very big. Winning or Loosing are the part of the life , what matter is our strong determination and hardwork ! 
Coming to GLA proved great for me as I am enjoying here a lot ! I can say I have become more ambitious and capable of taking more responsibilities as before ! A college is the place where a student comes to know about his/her own hidden talent, his/her capability to tackle problems and hostel life teaches us to become more self confident and mature . So, one should have a college  experience in their life to become independent ! In a college we get to know about many things which can turn to be good for us .
I have many experiences of my college life , but this one is totally different and realistic for me !!! 

Everybody chooses a better place to pursue his/her further higher studies. I chose this place to be the part of my life . When I came here, I don't have any idea about this place. I gave entrance to get admission in this college. There are entrances for every course in GLA University. GLA University needs no introduction as its name speaks itself ! Ranked No:- 3 in India .  Finally college started and I was excited about it . Excited because , I came here to pursue my PG and PG life is always interesting for everybody !!!
. Though the environment here is serious about the studies, which is an extremely good thing for a university. Faculty over here in my department is really nice and well educated. Faculty is blessed with friendly and soft hearted  nature which help us to communicate with them easily. I was over joyed with this behavior. I had also studied in Banasthali University and JNU,Jaipur, but over there faculty was not this much friendly. Coming over to hostel life, this was my 7th year in hostel and I had no fear about this. I felt comfortable and was easily adjusted. But I was little much tensed about my rom mate as It was an question mark !  Tongue  Though it was a new place for me but due to the friendly environment in GLA , I felt relaxed and positive . After so many days, I came to know about my room mate who was Manipur ! Far away from here she was . Her name is Okeshwori  and she is cute, helpful and most important she understands me very well , though she know only little bit of Hindi  Rolleyes . I used to communicate with her in English before , but now she speaks good Hindi ! 

 
GLA University has many special things about it to be explained. This university has dual environment means serious for studies and enjoyable for other co curricular activities. So, for students,  it's an amazing place to study and learn. GLA University administration always listen to their students no matter what the problem can be ?? I appreciate this facility provided to us . 
Months passed, and I came across many peoples in hostel and academic campus . Some were interesting and some were having dual nature in their behavior. For the first time, I got some friends who are really open minded and frank to me ! At least they were not having the habit of backstabbing . I was happy with that .Mean while, some of them pretended to be good on my face, but on my back they were just like my enemies.
But that was usual for me as I faced this earlier also !
In hostel or away from home, one should be enough mature to handle their problems on their own . One thing I must say, I became more self confident and  more capable to handle my problems after coming to GLA . 
GLA University has taught me how to become more self confident and independent !!!
I pay my thanks to some of my friends and faculty members who stood with me throughout my bad and good times. But , few were there who always tried to bring me down , but as I said I was more self confident enough to handle this and I survived !
This was the first time when I felt that I have became more confident and was enough mature to overcome my problems. This is all about my personal experiences , now I come to my professional experiences in GLA !!!
At GLA, participating in extra co curricular activities , has been always a fun moment and I enjoyed this . My faculty also praises me for my extra effort . 
All the faculty over here is really appreciable and down to earth . No matter what they are always ready to help in any condition . My HOD sir , Dr. A.K Bhatia, is an extremely talented person in every field. He always encouraged me to do better. Other faculty such as Dr. Alok Bharadwaj sir, he is really too friendly ! His idea of teaching is very much comfortable . Dr. Vishal Khandelwal sir and Dr. Pradeep Kumar Choudhary sir, are two teachers who have an amazing way to teach ! They both have wide knowledge about their fields. Taking you all to the other teachers like Aditya Saxena Sir, Anuja Mishra Mam, Anjana Mam, Rama Mam , they are also magnificent persons. And finally moving to our new faculty i.e. Dr.Gaurav Pant sir, he is down to earth person and research oriented person . Beside this all, my teachers are really helpful and they always encourage me to move for a better career in my life. Last but not the least, our department has finest research scholars such as Nitin Wahi sir, Ritesh Sir,  who simultaneously help me to be aware about my field on the same. They also suggest me how to do better in research oriented career. 
That's all about my college life experiences !
Moving towards to my personal life again ; only some of my friends like Aman, Prashant, Nikita, Kanika, Okeshwori, Divyanshu, Aditi, Shubhi etc are like my pillars !!! They support and encourage me in my bad times and are always with me in my good times to share my happiness. Lets come to hostel wardens, one thinks that wardens are very strict to their students, but in my case, my wardens are really frank to me and always like elder sister to me !! I want to mention their names like- Richa Mam and Anuja Mam ! Such nice peoples they are  Heart They have soft nature and good understanding power to solve my problems. 
Aman is my bestest buddy and she is really caring to me . I have never imagined a friend like her in my life. Apart form this campus, I have another best friend who is Raj Singh Chauhan and he is the unique kind of man who is enough mature, sensible and decent in this lifestyle and thoughts !

I came here in August 2014 and decided to pursue my Master's in Microbiology and Immunology. I came to know about this place through my father. Though it's a good university in this region . I had completed my Bachelor's from Banasthali University .  Cool
Apart from this I want to mention that , It is the only university I guess which offers dual degree program in M.Sc . It is a very good thing to achieve here !
 College life is really unique that teaches us something special which can be an inspiration for every student. For everyone, college life can be different as everybody has different places to choose for their study . One can achieve something great , while some are not able to achieve up to their expectations . As, Failures are the pillars of success, so we should not forget to try again and again ! Trying on something gives us more confidence and strong determination to achieve something very big. Winning or Loosing are the part of the life , what matter is our strong determination and hardwork ! 
Coming to GLA proved great for me as I am enjoying here a lot ! I can say I have become more ambitious and capable of taking more responsibilities as before ! A college is the place where a student comes to know about his/her own hidden talent, his/her capability to tackle problems and hostel life teaches us to become more self confident and mature . So, one should have a college  experience in their life to become independent ! In a college we get to know about many things which can turn to be good for us .
I have many experiences of my college life , but this one is totally different and realistic for me !!! 

Everybody chooses a better place to pursue his/her further higher studies. I chose this place to be the part of my life . When I came here, I don't have any idea about this place. I gave entrance to get admission in this college. There are entrances for every course in GLA University. GLA University needs no introduction as its name speaks itself ! Ranked No:- 3 in India .  Finally college started and I was excited about it . Excited because , I came here to pursue my PG and PG life is always interesting for everybody !!!
. Though the environment here is serious about the studies, which is an extremely good thing for a university. Faculty over here in my department is really nice and well educated. Faculty is blessed with friendly and soft hearted  nature which help us to communicate with them easily. I was over joyed with this behavior. I had also studied in Banasthali University and JNU,Jaipur, but over there faculty was not this much friendly. Coming over to hostel life, this was my 7th year in hostel and I had no fear about this. I felt comfortable and was easily adjusted. But I was little much tensed about my rom mate as It was an question mark !  Tongue  Though it was a new place for me but due to the friendly environment in GLA , I felt relaxed and positive . After so many days, I came to know about my room mate who was Manipur ! Far away from here she was . Her name is Okeshwori  and she is cute, helpful and most important she understands me very well , though she know only little bit of Hindi  Rolleyes . I used to communicate with her in English before , but now she speaks good Hindi ! 

 
GLA University has many special things about it to be explained. This university has dual environment means serious for studies and enjoyable for other co curricular activities. So, for students,  it's an amazing place to study and learn. GLA University administration always listen to their students no matter what the problem can be ?? I appreciate this facility provided to us . 
Months passed, and I came across many peoples in hostel and academic campus . Some were interesting and some were having dual nature in their behavior. For the first time, I got some friends who are really open minded and frank to me ! At least they were not having the habit of backstabbing . I was happy with that .Mean while, some of them pretended to be good on my face, but on my back they were just like my enemies.
But that was usual for me as I faced this earlier also !
In hostel or away from home, one should be enough mature to handle their problems on their own . One thing I must say, I became more self confident and  more capable to handle my problems after coming to GLA . 
GLA University has taught me how to become more self confident and independent !!!
I pay my thanks to some of my friends and faculty members who stood with me throughout my bad and good times. But , few were there who always tried to bring me down , but as I said I was more self confident enough to handle this and I survived !
This was the first time when I felt that I have became more confident and was enough mature to overcome my problems. This is all about my personal experiences , now I come to my professional experiences in GLA !!!
At GLA, participating in extra co curricular activities , has been always a fun moment and I enjoyed this . My faculty also praises me for my extra effort . 
All the faculty over here is really appreciable and down to earth . No matter what they are always ready to help in any condition . My HOD sir , Dr. A.K Bhatia, is an extremely talented person in every field. He always encouraged me to do better. Other faculty such as Dr. Alok Bharadwaj sir, he is really too friendly ! His idea of teaching is very much comfortable . Dr. Vishal Khandelwal sir and Dr. Pradeep Kumar Choudhary sir, are two teachers who have an amazing way to teach ! They both have wide knowledge about their fields. Taking you all to the other teachers like Aditya Saxena Sir, Anuja Mishra Mam, Anjana Mam, Rama Mam , they are also magnificent persons. And finally moving to our new faculty i.e. Dr.Gaurav Pant sir, he is down to earth person and research oriented person . Beside this all, my teachers are really helpful and they always encourage me to move for a better career in my life. Last but not the least, our department has finest research scholars such as Nitin Wahi sir, Ritesh Sir,  who simultaneously help me to be aware about my field on the same. They also suggest me how to do better in research oriented career. 
That's all about my college life experiences !
Moving towards to my personal life again ; only some of my friends like Aman, Prashant, Nikita, Kanika, Okeshwori, Divyanshu, Aditi, Shubhi etc are like my pillars !!! They support and encourage me in my bad times and are always with me in my good times to share my happiness. Lets come to hostel wardens, one thinks that wardens are very strict to their students, but in my case, my wardens are really frank to me and always like elder sister to me !! I want to mention their names like- Richa Mam and Anuja Mam ! Such nice peoples they are  Heart They have soft nature and good understanding power to solve my problems. 
Aman is my bestest buddy and she is really caring to me . I have never imagined a friend like her in my life. Apart form this campus, I have another best friend who is Raj Singh Chauhan and he is the unique kind of man who is enough mature, sensible and decent in this lifestyle and thoughts ! I have learnt many things form him and will continue to get inspired from him as he is totally different guy who always supports me to do better than good  Smile Here, I found three elders sisters who are very much caring to me . Sneha Didi, Sana didi and Mukta Didi , beacuse of you all , I have gained a lot of positive energy in me :-) Thanks for making me to love myself .
At last , GLA  University has been a nice place for me to learn and grow in my life further ! Peoples here are extremely good and well behaved in their thoughts except some ! 
Last but not the least, I am nothing without my parents who have been a great source of inspiration to me always ! Thanks to them and more over I feel proud to be their daughter !Special thanks to my father who always supports and encourages me every time, no matter what I am going through ! He is actually a hero for me who has done everything for me to just make me smile ! Love you Papa ..
