Research Redefined....

What is "Research"....well the classical definition is not 'searching again'...but does it really hold so....:P

Lets see it through the eyes of young researchers (...like...me..LOL...)....

1. No weekends...every freaking day is a working day.......But, you can take a holiday with the excuse of studying, literature survey, library and even headache.

2. You can start the laptop with the enthusiasm to search at least some 20-50 papers for your literature studies, but would definitely end up into Facebooking, Twittering, Gtalking, Blogging and sometimes playing games online.

3. You will forget what is life outside lab...as you by this time have already started growing lives in your Lab

4. You will get these constant headaches because of excessive exposure to chemicals.

5. You will no longer able to feel your legs as they are swollen from the constant standing.

6. communication will be redefined for you...mood swings and irritation are very common and often to occur.

7. you will not have a personal life..and if you had already then it will take a 2nd 3rd or nth place right now!!

8. Your house...your room...or your hostel will feel like a guest house for you...

9. Movies, TV series will take a back seat

10. You will be sleeping like a dead person...even earthquake cant wake you up....and all you dream is about proteins, DNA, microbes, flasks...etc.etc.etc

11. Fashion will loose its meaning for you, as you cant even remember what were u wearing in the morning today....

12. If you are at VIT, you will be specially treated as they expect you to write "research papers" and publish them.....do they think that papers are available for 100bucks outside the stall??

13. You will be given the designation of a Research Associate and the workload of a Advanced Scientific Lab Assistant!!

14. Lab is your home n chemicals and bacteria are your friend....you now have no life away from that or can think of any!!!

Thanks to my "Research" I have added a new word "Patience" to my vocabulary....as it is all that I am been said to have during my work....as I will never get any results when I want them or need them.....

We are doing real research.....welcome to our Biotechn World!!!
