AUGMENT YOURSELF

Mind over matters, is one of the widely read columns in "Sunday Times". Recently I read an article on "AFFIRM YOURSELF"- A PHASE OF BEING CONNECTED WITH THE INTERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS. This internal consciousness is nothing other then our SOUL. It really made me to thought over, whether I could perform or not. Then I tried,.

I settled in quite place for 20 minutes in the meditation. Repeating " AHAM BRAHMMASMI" with quite breadth, rejuvaneted me. My energy was flowing through Spinal cord, enriching me to the zenith of my excitement level as if electrons get excited to their
excited state after providing the threshold energy. I am unable to express my experience in words.But, yes, I must say, try it!!!!!!! Its worth linking A JIVA with the an infinite consciousness.

To be a Good Researcher you need to be........

It is about now four months in my new job. I have started learning very basic but absolutely essential things which is required for a good researcher.
I hope this will help to all of you

To be a good researcher you need to be............

Professional: Till now, I was like a student even in my profession. Slowly I learnt that research should not be taken at the personal level.

passionate: Many people come and commit that we will do many things, we desire to do this and that, but is the passion and zeal, which makes a researcher to stick to its goal and aim

obedient to your higher authorities: Listen to them carefully, and try to question yourself, about their statement. Remember, they are more experienced then us, so do what they suggest

having fun: Research is a fun and it should be done with full of enjoyment

Meticulous: Always have a record of your work, be neat and tidy in the work place.

This is an ABCD.............. of the research, I have learnt till now. I feel that this follows through out the life of researcher
My this article is dedicated to my Director, who has taught me ABCD of the research, Thanks Sir, I will be grateful to you forever.

I am an Abecedarian

Hello

It has been since long that I was not on the blog. I thought of various topics, but could not find a suitable one. Today when I was working on the Thin films, during a scientific discussion, I made some of the silly mistakes, which was pointed out by my Director. Its not that only me, but many science students do, as they are not clear in the concepts. and hence this blog today.

1. I spelled %T, it is actually a transmission only , as transmittence is measured in %, hence it is not scientific to spell as %T


2. I talked about the crystal formation in the solution, which were actually particles. Director told me that these are particles, not crystals. In regular
fashion, if we can get crystals, then the chemical industries would have become a multi millionare by now. Again the same blunder!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Later on I recalled what other blunders I made during my college life, here are few examples,

2. While teaching the students, I taught them about a species concept which defines as a living organism which is reproductively isolated. In its nomenclature, it is a binomial system. Consider for example, Mangifera indica ( botanical name of Mango, Indian fruit). As per the rules, Mangifera is generic name, while indica is a species, but indica is also an epithete which descibes its characteristic that it is of Indian origin ( Indica refers to latinized pattern of Indian origin), I am not sure how only an epithete can alone be a species, is it not Mangifera indica as a whole is Species name? Does anybody have answer of this question?

3. While I was interviewd recently for my current job, I was asked a question about my dissertation, as I worked on RAPD Technique. I was told that which RAPD Marker was used ( Actually it was my blunder that I spelled out RAPD marker instead of RAPD technique). To my fortune, I was clicked with the difference between RAPD Marker and RAPD Technique, and I was able to defend my statement.

These are the small things which we generally lack and hence remain poor in basics. So I am activley conscious before addressing anything in the scientific discussion. I hope by reading these , you will save yourself from such idiotic blunders

Bhuvaneshwari: Who is a Good Teacher

Bhuvaneshwari: Who is a Good Teacher

Who is a Good Teacher

Since two years of Post Graduation,I am in Academics. I asked a very respected personality, what are the traits of a good teacher. He answered " TEACHERS ARE TORCH BEARER". St. Kabir has very beautifully depicted about a teacher
" GURU GOBIND DONO KHADE KAKE LAGU PAY
BALIHARI GURU AAPKI GURU GOBIND DIYO BATAY"

In Sanskrit,teacher has been pictured as "GURU" which literally means a disspeller of darkness or one who shows the path of Light from dark ( tamaso ma jyotirgamay). These definitions are, how far have been justified by the faculties with their interest in teaching and research; is an aspect to be thought of. I have seen many teachers during school and college days who either used to sleep in the class or were not showing any interest in the teaching. If at all they were forced to teach, then they used to make us read us lessons, but never make us to understand. Tell me should we think of such great !!!!!!!!!!! one as our idol?

When I entered in College, I realized that some teachers are really dedicated to their profession. They go out of their way to help the students in every manner. Subsequently students are also devoted to their committment too. But since past two years, scenario has changed. Teachers are neither creative nor students are committed to their work and profession. In this context, how a teacher can be a torch bearer or a GURU in real sense?

Can you please opine me, how to be a torch bearer?

Where are Pure Sciences

Since the evolution of the human being to till date, the eras are divided into many different ages, starting from Stone Age to Computer age( 20th Century). The 21st Century has been declared as Biological Century.

Our Hon'ble Chief Minister has quoted

BT+ BT= BT: Bharat Today+ Biotechnology= Bharat Tomorrow

This is a cornerstone of Biotechnology in India at present.Everywhere is a Biotechnology Boom.

It not only reflects the society's trend to follow a monotonous path, but it presurizes the youth to be in the competition of such issues where even if they do not desire, they are forced to opt such subjects. Why? just because Biotechnology Karega to bahut accha hai", abhi iske chances bahut hai, agar mere bete ne Biotechnology nahi padhi to vo kya kamayega.This is the mentality of the parents, as they force their children to opt such subjects in which they do not show interest.

I am writing this article, just because I am a Biotechnologist by profession and I have faced seen such faces of my students.

Biotechnology colleges are mushrooming to such an extent, that it has become a business, with high financial rate.
My undergraduateion was in Botany, strange the condition, I was initially a single student in Botany in the University who was interested to opt.
That condition moved me a lot. Why students are not ready to opt for the Pure Sciences as a career. I agree that they are looking for such careers which helps them to earn a better profession, comfortable lifestyle and easy money.
Pure Sciences does not involve such factors, rather then it asks for the mere dedication in the research and an average life style.

If you look at the history, you will find that all the Noble Laureates had their hard life in the research. Madam Marie Curie and Pieere Curie had set up their laboratory in the milking parlour.

Some of the reasons I concluded during my academic and professional career are as follows:
---- Old syllabus pattern
---- Lack of interest by the teachers in teaching
---- Students own hatred towards the subject
Dear Friends,

Rest of the reasons I am leaving on you to think , especially I urge to the Scientists and Academicians to look upon such matter.

I will come with some more ideas in my next blog, depicting how the students can be attracted to the Pure Sciences.

Dear Friends, I am not a comic writer, I cannot write in funny language even, but I have tried to express some of the eternal expressions which are often created during college days. This is my first aatempt to do so, hence it is requested to send me your valuable comments on it.

REALM OF REALITY

To decipher being a "self" is beyond the method and techniques of an individual's life. It cannot be achieved through any corporeal practices. Meditating for several hours cannot transform a self in to Buddha. Yoga for the time being, provide a relief to the "being", but it cannot make an individual to reach the realm of reality.

I question my self, how it is possible to cater oneself in the realm of reality, when we are burdening ourselves with the countless Karmas of corporate world?

How..............................................
Does this hidden power resides in ourselves?..............................................................
OR
It is guided by someone else to reach to that realm..................................................?

Still I am in search of the answer,
How................When.............................???????????????????????????
But I am sure for one thing, Jatak irrespective of its "Karmas" tends yo meet the Supreme Reality one day. It is an eternal truth , once Jatak has entered in the Karma Chakra, it has to perform the task of Karmas irrespective of its type" Satva", "Rajas" and "Tamas". Depending on the Karma type, Jatak gets absorbed in an ultimate reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O Thy Myself

"Wake up"

Decipher ur being

Not to Material

But to Spiritual

Elevate to THY

Blessed by Divine

Mitigate from Karma

Look beyond the particle

To enter the ETERNAL WISDOM

O Thy Myself

Wake Up....... Wake Up..................

INSPIRATION

Every living organism tends to be gregarious in nature. The gregariuosness does not mean that the creature should remain always in the society, but it can remain alone for a few moments, to look and observe in itself.

You may question, what we do after while remaining in ourself. sometimes I also feel after getting tired. APNE AAP MEIN RAHEN ME KYA KUCH RAKHA HAI?

But answer lies in the question itself, APNE AAP ME RAHNE ME BAHUT KUCH RAKHA HAI.

But what.....................................................................

Its the source of inspiration, inspiring your self, from others, from urself or from any other source...........................................................

Any other source.............................................................................

Yes.................................................. that source is not other then NATURE.

It is said that NATURE IS THE SOURCE OF BEST INSPIRATION,

YOU MAY AGAIN QUESTION HOW

READ THESE FEW LINES ON IT, I FEEL YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LOCATE YOUR ANSWER

Prerna li hai maine in taron se
Har bar jhilmilate rehna ki
Avichal timtimate rehne ki

Prerna li hai maine in nadiyon se
Jindagi ko beech majdhar me na chodne ki
Aur jivan ke bahav mein bahate rehna ki

Prerna li hai maine in parvato se
Sankat samay mein adag rehne ki
Har ek shatru ke samne avichal rehne ki

Prerna li hai maine in vrukshon se
Jindagi ke bahav mein jhumte rehne ki
Aur jhumne ke saath doosron ko jhumane ki

Han, prerna li hai maine mata-pita se
Jivan ki kala jine ki
Aur ise hi doosron ko samarpit karne ki

DEATH

Having born on this earth signifies that you are destined to leave one day. This is a natural phenomenon of leaving a corporeal world. Leaving this world we term as DEATH. But how do we describe death, STOPPING OF HEART BEAT, STOP FUNCTIONING OF BRAIN OR SOMETHING ELSE. I have heard of such people who can perform such tasks, still they remain alive for longer. I don’t want to convey that Medical Science is wrong, but I awe on such people, how and by what thing, they remain alive.

I met one lady, when I was an under-graduate student, by age she was in early 40’s, in the small town of Gujarat. I came to know, she has just come out of her KASTHAMAUN. In this, saints remain in the SAMADHI AVASTHA for long time (up to several years) without food, water and any type of other biological activities. Is it possible for our type of ordinary people?

This incidence made me to write few lines.

Maya ki maya mein
Sansar ke chakravyuh mein
Mein
Jarjarit sharir dharit
Janm-maran ke vishchakra mein fasin
Dhundh rahi hun apne ko

Chahti hun chod dun chand dun
Ajar amar ho jaun
Parmatma mein leen ho jaun

Par chitt bhram ho kar , fasi reh gayi beech bhavanr mein
Tabhi kisi ne haath thama
Mujhe mein bana diya
Parmatma mein keen kar
Mohmaya se pare kar diya
Pradan kar di sarthakta iis sadhan karma ko
Dub gayi usi ke vichar mein
Raat din kuch na sujha usi ke khayal mein
Kaun tha vaha
Prakruti ka sanatan satya
Nirakar , ajar, amar,
MRITYU THA WAHA

SHUDHH HINDI BOLO NA

I belong to The CBSE medium, where we are taught Hindi, Sanskrit and English as Primary languages, rather then any vernacular languages.

During my school days, we used to study..........Hindi' s some of the ever great poems of Subhadra Kumari Chauhan "Jhansi Ki Rani", Surya Kant Tripathi "Nirala" and many more. Our Hindi teacher, taught us very well, explaining the meanings of each term in "SHUDHH HINDI". When I was in 7th Std., my Hindi teacher was teaching one lesson (I forgot the title), in between she described the term "TRAIN". Being a very keen student to learn Hindi, I innocently pointed out "Madam, Train word to English ka origin hai",aap kyun usa use kar rahe ho, shudhh Hindi bolo na". To my ladyluck, I was not kicked out of the class, rather she kept things in her mind, and started explaing in shudhh Language.

I faintly remember, she explained, AAVAT JAWAT GAMINI. We all were staring at each other, as nobody was aware about its meaning. Then she started teaching once again, she told " ladke Lamb Dand Gol Pind Sar Patak Pratiyogita Khel rahe the". We all started shouting in the class " madam you are not teaching us properly". Ultimately, she told that AAVAT JAWAT GAMINI is train and Lamd Dand Gol Pind Sar Patak Pratiyogita is CRICKET.

Since then realized how it would be agitating to spell shudhh Hindi.

My mother is Sanskrit teacher, one day she was teaching us the RAM RUP ( AA KARANT PURLING), one of my classmate shouted, madam pl. "PAAD ke rup batayina".In real sense, PAAD in Sanskrit means legs, but in Gujarati and Hindi, it has got some other meaning, I leave upto u to find out it and let me know.

MY IDOL

Till recent past I was thinking, I am flawless, I am complete in all types of endeavours ; I
can succeed, but I was wrong.

It is said that "FAILURE IS THE STEPPING STONE OF SUCCESS". Till today, I have encountered many failures, just because my thinking was wrong.

Nobody told me the reasons of my failures, I was the best judge to judge it

On one beautiful dawn, someone entered in my life, to show a ray of hope, but still HUN AHDHAKAR NI GARTA MA DHAKELAYELI JA HATI.

She whispered to me................................................................

"I KNOW YOU", WAKE UP MY DEAR
" ITS ME"

I got up, poped up here and there

But still I didn't get her, I didn't get her.....................................................
I cried.................................. I begged, come before me......................................... I wish to greet you,

NO REPLY.........

I became hopeless, where is she? Why I didn't recognise her?

I was betrayed

You may ask why,

Simply because its my own innerself, its my IDOL - MY SOUL.

Now I know, why I was a failure, as I didn't recognise my self, my SOUL

IT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE ON IT,

I HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Someone summons my heart
Digging my inner depths,
Absorbing in herself,
Asking myself-WHO ARE YOU?
FOR WHOM ARE YOU?

Standing uncovetous answerlessly,
Observing medemoiselle sinless infouvately,

She answers me- I’m you
You are me
Ah! but a what a pity- I know u
You don’t know me,

Asking my self thinkingly
Feeling myself guilty,
Rendering at her humbly
Considering me selfless kind heartedly
Showering herself oceanly


Responding me-I’m in you
You are in me

Thought it as a dream
But fruited as reality
Compelled me to think consciously and cautiously

Who was she? Me, you?
No, she was not me or you

She was something different
That can’t be mentioned
My dear friends can you guess?

she was your own mirror, your own inner wards
Only and only “THE SOUL”

[My dear friends, no one is flawless or complete in its own. Having the existence on this earth itself interprets that you are incomplete in some respect. I strongly feel, if you are egoistic, if you cannot deal the life, then it is definite that you are not going to REALIZE YOUR SOUL. SOUL IS THE BEST IDOL OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL;FEEL HIM; HEAR THE VOICE OF YOUR SOUL, AND THEN SEE, SUCCESS WILL BE AT YOUR FOOTSTEP].

This article is dedicated to an anonymous friend of mine, who has showed me a path to realize my own falsehoods, due to which, I have realized my self .

THE STAGE YOU BELONG TO

“IN THE ANIMAL, THE MAN WAS SUPPRESSED, BUT AS SOON AS THE DOOR WAS OPENED, OUT RUSHED MAN. SO IN MAN THERE IS POTENTIAL GOD KEPT IN BY THE LOCKS AND BARS OF IGNORANCE. WHEN KNOWLEDGE BREAKS THESE BARS, THE GOD BECOMES MANIFEST. AND THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE SUN, WHICH AN AWAKENED SOUL CANNOT ACHIEVE. THE NEED IS TO AWAKEN THE HIGHER SELF, THE GOD, IN MAN”
(from :Raja yoga)

While reading “Ignited Minds” by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, in the very first chapter ‘The Dream and the Message’, he has mentioned about the five different stages of the individual’s life. By quoting Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ‘ s “Manifest Your Destiny”. It talks about the different stages viz.
Athlete Stage
Warrior Stage
Big brother stage
Self Realization stage
The first Athlete stage embarks the individual’s energetic performance and achievements.

Warrior stage depicts the proud state of an individual for its own achievements and always tries to make prove itself far more superior then others. During this, the individuals remain busy for achieving the goals, which generates anxiety.

Big brother stage depicts with the maturity of an individual, which transforms from a self-ego to the Nation’s patriotism and a passion for the Nation

Above all is the Self Realization stage which once again transforms from state of nation’s realization to the Global realization - “VASUDHEV KUTUMBKAM”– I DO NOT BELONG TO SINGLE NATION, THE EARTH IS MY HOME AND ITS PEOPLE AND ARE MY FAMILY. If a person achieves this stage, he is no longer remain in the himself, he sees himself as a part of the world, where he will perform all the tasks in germane to the human welfare.

In this competitive and self centered world, we the Youth are required to think, at what stage we belong to , should we still remain within ourselves, just to be a slave of our mind , do we like to continue what our mind directs OR we wish to awaken the HIGHER SELF WITHIN US, THE GOD IN HUMAN TO FOLLOW “VASUDHEV KUTUMBKAM”.

Similarly, true holds for the Nation as well. Swami Vivekananda has said

“ 03 things are necessary to make every man great, every nation great. (1) Conviction of the powers of goodness, (2) absence of jealousy and suspicion and (3) Helping all who are trying to be and do well.
The above quotation surpasses the warrior stage and directly leads the nation to the Big brother. Already India has proud for its achievements in the IT Sector, Science and Technology, our ancient civilization. What is required is now the transformation from Big brother to Self- Realization Stage. But it can be possible when

THE FAITH IN OURSELVES WILL BE REAWAKENED

To regenerate this faith , we must reawaken our higher self, which will ultimately transform our Nation to self Realization stage.

Hence , by an integrated approach of every national, the country can be put to a height of Self Realization Stage.
