Everything fine!

"Acting in good faith", this becomes more difficult, when we grow older day by day! Even for a silly thing, we start worrying. We start crying! 
But, in those days, when we were a kid??? Everything was felt as a blossom, even  it was a thorn! 
How innocent she is!
Sweet childhood! 

Some sweet moments of my child hood which I miss a lot now : 
1) My favorite snack ---> Slate pencil :P (Yummy)
2) My favorite English songs ---> Twinkle twinkle little star.., Baa Baa black sheep! ( a long list of nursery rhymes ) 
3) My favorite time pass ---> Kitchen set & gossiping about back bench girl's new water bottle! :) 
4) My favorite TV shows : Tom & Jerry , Baby looney tunes, The mask! :) 
5) Most Sad situation : Getting punishment ( standing on the bench )  for talking in the class room! :(((( 
6) Happiest moments : Getting a "SHAKTI MAAN" sticker - free with Parle-G biscuit. :))))
 
The list continues! Everything was fine and happy those days! No worries! 
Everything is happiness & fun for the kids because they don't know the seriousness of anything; 
"Ignorance gives happiness & the attitude of "ACTING IN GOOD FAITH" to children , most times. Due to the ignorance, they look at everything wearing a positive - green goggles. 

An instance for the ignorance of my childhood : 

Those days, I used to play with my grandpa with my kitchen set. He used to construct a little cradle for me using some clothes, and I used to sing lullabies for my sweet  "MARIPOO" ( My little girl doll's name) to sleep in that cloth cradle. I used to play  , and sleep near him, daily. Everyday morning, he used to take me to a shop near my home for buying chocolates (for me) & halwa (for him). I remember, we had never paid money to that shopkeeper, instead my grandpa used to say, " collect the money from my son (i.e., my dad)". 
I never had a walk with my grandpa during those times, yes, he used to carry me in his shoulders! 

As usual, that night too, I slept near my grandpa. Morning, by 4a.m, dad woke up me saying " Grandpa had gone to meet God, you come and sleep in my room!!!!". Not knowing that grandpa was dead, I went and slept in dad's room! The next morning when I woke up,  bedroom was full of relatives who came for the funeral of grandpa! I was wondering " Why a lots of people around my bed??!!" They didn't ask me to get ready for school saying that grandpa was going to meet God and i need not go to school that day! 
Not feeling the sadness that I'm gonna miss him, I started shouting " Haiyaaa jolly, leave leave, school leave!" 

But, I'm not that ignorant now and I worry remembering my childhood days with my grandpa :(  I miss him a lot! :( 

Child hood... The most pleasant part of life, with no hard feelings, no embarrassments, no regrets, no betrayals..., but, full of fun! 

 Let me add an instance to the list of worries of these days ---> the greatest worry ---> ASSIGNMENTS 

Tata.. gonna do my assignments! good night!

Lowry Assay Principle and procedure

Though there are several protein assays available, the most preferred one in many laboratories is "Lowry assay". It is effective in the concentration range of 0.01 mg/ml to 1 mg/ml. And, as an additional info, the paper published describing the procedure and principle of Lowry Assay is the most cited paper in the scientific history. (Feeling like, "Wow! I want to publish one to compete with Oliver.H. Lowry"???  :P) Why Lowry?   Though there are several other protein assays, mostly Lowry assay is used in many laboratories. The reasons for preferring Lowry are: sensitivity of the assay, highly reproducible, cost effective, easy to perform. Biuret assay is generally used for higher protein concentrations like tissue samples but, Lowry for less concentrated samples and hence used in most of the molecular biology laboratories where there will be need for assaying comparatively less concentrated protein samples (in most cases where we attempt to produce enzymes).

Sea Butterfly!

Neih hou!  Don't roll you eyes wondering what it is! "Neih hou" is how you say "hello" in Cantonese. Guess what, I am in Hong Kong and therefore the language Cantonese. I came to Hong Kong this summer as an intern before officially joining as a PhD Student. This is my second experience abroad, far away from home, new language, new culture, I expected me to have a "really" bad cultural shock, but, actually I experienced only 50% of what I expected. For a girl who have used the marina beach only for eating "sundal", bikini in beach was a shock (FEEL FREE TO JUDGE ME!). The first time, I went to the big wave beach here, I was the only one who was totally covered, when everyone was enjoying their Beer, I was slowly sipping my lemon juice (THE ODD ONE OUT!). I realized how beautifully different the world outside is! There is no single standard for right or wrong, it varies in different countries, in different regions around the world. And it ...

Fire in the lab!!! BE CAREFUL!!!! A Lesson learnt!

   That day, we were working in our lab under laminar air flow chamber. we were streaking our plates with E.coli. For sterilizing the loop, we were using 70% ethanol. We also sterilized the L rod which we used for spreading , using the same Ethanol.  One by one, we started streaking and spreading. I completed my turn, and sterilized the L rod by dipping in ethanol once and shown in flame, and placed it in a tray.Mam instructed, " Ethanol will catch fire , if you place the hot rod over it" . One of my friend, did spreading after my turn, she too dipped the rod in ethanol, flamed the rod and instead of placing in the tray she misplaced the hot rod in the ethanol plate!!!! " oooo... fire fire..." immediately ethanol caught fire..!!! My friend who misplaced., she started crying... Mam shouted, " hey girls, guys run out of the lab...," as the tube which carries LPG for the flame was very close to fire. Suddenly, our lab technician acte...
