| Holy Bhagavad Gita | |
|
|
| In the Holy Srimad Bhagavad Gita lies the answer to all the dilemmas in today's fast-paced world. Sure, it will probably not be specific to your problem...but its guiding principles will show you the way to a great life. I was always a devout person. I always wanted to start studying the Gita and so I started doing so routinely about 18 months ago...

| That feeling is creeping over me again. It is a disease, which all people experience albeit in different orders of magnitude. DEPRESSION. A couple of my friends were admitted into universities abroad. I am not jealous; however, they were jealous of me when they came to know that I qualified GATE. I am happy for them.

| I HAVE FOUND MY ANSWER! | |
| I have been reading the Holy Srimad Bhagavad Gita for the past one year or so regularly. I am still amazed by the fact that I keep finding answers to questions that I sincerely wish I had the answer to in this book. In fact, the very first time I read a sloka from the Holy Gita (that was about two years ago, I was very irregular for about a year or...

The difference however, is that we all have a libido…but once we cross a certain age, say, 16 or 18…we won’t feel like satisfying it IF we are conditioned to ignore it. We simply ignore the impulse and our body sends a negative feedback to the brain saying ‘I don’t need your ...

| GUILT AND SHAME | |
| We in the South don’t really celebrate Holi with the kind of zest that is displayed in the North. Today, however, I got a rude awakening. In a local news channel, they showed a village near my home town of Vishakapatnam where women were dancing and disrobing themselves in-front of men and children alike without any shame, just in the name of Holi....

| THE BIG BIOTECH BUST! | |
| Everyone from the research scientist to the Aunty next door was yelling from the rooftop. The Biotech industry was going to be the NEXT BIG THING after IT. Here is the reality, the Biotech Industry in India is worth a measly $1billion , compare this with what 'experts' predicted – that Biotech was going to be worth $5billion by 2010. That seems way too far off. The reason for this are many like the long time it takes to from patent to discovery, the huge amount of budget involved for Research and the lack of synchronisation between academia and Industry. In a recent report in the US , most life scientists did not like their job until they turned forty , and in the Indian scenario, we produce a pathetic 1200 Life Science PhDs a year . So if it takes 10-15 years after completing a PhD for you to settle in your job, how is a person expected to opt for Life Sciences as an option out of High School? Pay? Peanuts. As for Industry and academia synchronisation, there are NO postgraduate degrees in Mol Bio, Immunology, Biochemistry and Developmental Biology in India ! To think that abroad there exist entire departments devoted to these fields of study. No. of Mtech Biotech seats in India- 160 No of applicants – over 11000! PhD in Biological Sciences is offered only in institutes of repute like NII, IISc and CCMB, but they too only matriculate 10 students per annum in their PhD program. Why isn't the Indian Biotech industry not shining? I want that Hospitals must tie-up with Universities doing research in areas like Stem Cell Technology and Gene Therapy (if any such Universities do exist) so that Life Scientists at least get employed somewhere and lead a better, well paying life. What are your views? Please share. PS – someone said that we become life scientists so we can 'do good to mankind' . Well, if you can work on weekends for half of your life trying to figure out how yeast cells age so that a cure for aging can be developed then either you must have a lot of patience, or you have to be a total freak. As for the majority of the population, we rather stay grounded on earth. And by the way, doesn't mankind include scientists??!!
