Week 1 …

Albeit second week after the exams, officially it’s the first week of holidays as most of last week went by slugging out preparing the stat assignment for submission. OK, i guess this time things are looking up quite a bit. The summary is something like this -

1. Would be visiting the SINP throughout the holidays, but not continuously, as will be working on 2 ( maybe 3 ) projects.
2. I guess nearly everyday have to shuttle between our own insti and SINP.
3. First, our microchimerism project. At least, for the presentation in November, things have to hurry up a bit. I guess, besides the RT-PCR thing we’ll be doing some sort of immunological analysis of biopsy tissues and inferring about the immune response invoked.
4. This one i’m really excited about. Was toying with this idea for about 6 months, finally making some headways into it. Pocha aka Abhik from our batch joined, we’re doing it with guidance from Prof. Arni S.R.Srinivasa Rao of our insti and Prof. P.K.Mohanty , SINP. … You can check about this project here – lat_intro.pdf
5. Learnt LaTeX, for preparing the above pdf synopsis. Well, … it’s pretty cool. Gives your article a weighty feel
6. Keeping my fingers crossed on the problem about the miRNA-TF network project getting resolved.

a certain ennui … eh ??

They call themselves intellectuals, but they can’t even prevent a certain firang called Steve Waugh come down here, do something substantial, teaching them a lesson in practicality and being responsible to society.
When they were asked why most ( coz ‘all’ would sould politically too incorrect ) of the celebrity people of Kolkata refrain from getting hands on about doing something to the society, one Rupa Ganguly tactfully sidled the question, another hotshot fusion-guru weirdo called Bickram Ghosh even apologised, saying a certain ennui holds them back, and finally an unnamed tolly star was spot on, … they are afraid to go out more coz then then they’d lose their novelty value to the common people. Well, ok, but i guess people would love to see their idols among themselves,setting examples. It’s only a feeling of insecurity prevailing in the so called ‘celebrities’, … and of course it is justified. After all, what do you expect in someone who’s got a lot more than his/ her mediocrity deserves ?? a constant fear of losing the luck he/she gained in the lottery of life. Well, that’s the ‘ennui’ ( Bickram boy knows his english well, i must agree ), nothing else.

Random …
