Internships

 For undergraduates (B.E./ B.Tech./B.Sc what not!) and post-graduates who seek to get a flavour of research, who desire to see first hand how top-tier universities/institutes work, there are umpteen short term fellowships available. They are great opportunities to gain exposure to research, in addition to adding some weight to your resumes. Most of them are for pre-final year students (UG/PG), though some may relax the criterion! And what more, many of them come with helpful stipends!

Koszonom, Budapest!

A visit to a foreign country is always special. And when it is your first visit abroad, it automatically becomes memorable! What more, when it is the first time you speak technical stuff in front of expert, completely non-Indian, people- it is even more special to you! And well, when you don’t have to spend out of your pocket for this, isn’t it truly wonderful! A conference trip abroad, in my case, was special more so for the last reason- the unintended generosity of unknown taxpayers enabled me to fly across Eurasia, step into a foreign university and present a part of my work in front of a sizeable, learned audience. Such trips leave you small lessons, in addition to some mandatory networking which is the prime motive of these conferences, which are worth sharing. After all, a lakh and odd rupees spent on a person’s trip should be worth more than his own benefitting, right! So, here we go- a bit of conference experience first, and a short traveller’s expe...

Mind Matters- Introduction to the column

1.23 grams.  That's all it weighed! A crumpled mass years before- as watery as a melon , grey here and white there just like a middle aged man's beard- scattered in labs and museums across the world today, attracting handful of scientists poring into its secrets and countless awestruck visitors jostling to get a glimpse of genius- this was once the private property of a German immigrant in America, long deceased. One Mr. Albert Einstein. Humans, by design or by accident, are highly curious creatures. We are ever eager to know stuffs like how Swarzneggers build their beefy torsos, how Beckhams could bend it so well, or how gallons of milk that Dhoni drank in his adolescence contributed to his helicopter shot and what not! It is the same curiosity that made an Archimedes storm out of his bath and run into the town, which induced a Newton to churn formulae reportedly out of an rendezvous with an apple- which also led an Einstein turn physics world on its head...

The Sachins, Dravids and Dhonis of Science

Analogies and comparisons are always interesting, even if not useful! From declaring poetically that life is a bed of roses to calling Rajnikanths and Bachchans 'superstars'- analogies are omnipresent. So when I read somewhere about scientists who 'played' with machines in their childhood and sportspersons who get 'scientifically' trained, the analogy between the two instantaneously pops up in my mind. Sportspersons vie for cups and medals just like scientists who strive to grab a Nobel or a Fields medal. Sports and science both have had prodigies come up. Both have had the stories of some prodigies end up as tragedies. In sports, among the prodigies some fulfill their promise and dazzle others with their flamboyance and are revered as geniuses. And there are others, less prodigal but industrious, who methodically come up the ladder and stand up to the prodigies as equals. And there are champions of   a third kind, ...
