Days of discovery

It's been really long since i blogged.. Though in my last post, I said I'd be posting more often, I could not :) But finally, am back to writing again...

Some things are meant to be shared.. Which is why I feel I should write something about my fortnight in a new city. It was one of those times that could change your life forever.. for the better,in my case.

I was there as a student of science, but I learnt more than just science. I learnt the real joy of science, the excitement, the fun in friendly discussions. One thing I realized was that I harboured a mistaken notion - I always thought experts and top scientists would be serious and in their own world, but I realized that this wasn't true. In spite of their knowledge and achievements, they were really friendly, and willing to listen to and clarify any doubt, even in the basics. It was really heartening and encouraging for us students.

I am glad I had the good luck of being there, maybe it is true that "when you want something with your whole heart, the entire Universe conspires to help you achieve it"... I'm glad to be back to my work, with a more open mind, a willingness to work harder, and with renewed passion.

"When the student is ready, the teacher appears" ... Maybe this is true as well..

I end this post now, with a positive attitude, and with the thought that whatever I do is not a total waste of time, even if it is not the greatest scientific discovery in the world, as I believe in what I do, and am passionate about it...
