So long, my blog !

The summer holidays, now veering towards an end, and boy, am I not relieved to think that I’d be returning to the institute. Well, I supposed to do many many things this summer,  but actually DID preciously little, most expectedly though ! For example consider finishing lots of e-books, general, and on chess, and some books on popular science, playing through Age of Empires II ( AoE ) and some other games and this and that and this and that … But what I DID was only reading the autobiographical part of ‘Double Helix’ by JD Watson, finishing some easy campaigns on AoE, and killing time playing cricket07 !

Was pretty much excited about my undergrad associateship in Biology at the Saha Inst of Nuclear Physics, thinking I’d get to do so much things in the lab, but I was, of course rightly, now I feel it, told to think and explore, about the variety in biology ( I know I’m getting clichéd.) . So I did, and thought of an experiment about autophagy. But, life’s been pretty drab there, reading books and searching the net for articleas etc etc …

Hope to find some oomph in the KVPY summer camp in IISc, Bangalore towards the end though.

 

Ah yes, congrats to Subhrasis Guha Niyogi, the sole student from WB who made it tho the bio Olympiad camp in HBCSE, Mumbai this yr, and got selected in the 4-member Indian team for the IBO. Best of luck.

Same to Atin and Samik, my two batchmates, who dropped a year and got selected in the ISI admission test this time.
