“Science is simply commonsense at it’s best that is, rigidly accurate in observation and merciless to fallacy in logic.” Science has always been my fascination right from my childhood, and I was keen to continue my academic pursuit in this field to turn out my interests and curiosities into realities. My father is a Diabetologist,general medicine(M.D). Ever since I was a child, I have been exposed to a scenario, where patients come for regular diagnosis and insulin dose. My puerile passions were just a reflection of my father’s stature and this made me alight in the Biology group in my schooling. The burning fire in me coupled with calibrated self-confidence and relentless hard work rewarded me with a distinction of 94.27% in my matriculation exam. And the fact that I stood school second out of 650 students and was also among the first ten positions in the state of 700,000 students made this triumph many folds sweeter. Eventually I opted for the biology group in my higher secondary and my previous accomplishments paved the right path to rest on my laurels and quench the expectations, which triggered me to once again secure a distinction of 95.7% topping my class.
This opened up the doors for me to secure admission in the program Bachelor of Technology in Industrial Biotechnology at Anna University - Edited College of Technology that is known for its infrastructure in biological sciences. During my period of study here, I have taken courses like Biochemistry, Molecular Cell Biology, Microbiology, Immunology, Bioprocess principles and engineering, Bio and chemical thermodynamics, Enzyme engineering. These courses took me a step closer towards fulfillment of my goal of delving deeper into the world of ‘cloned Dollies’ and ‘Docile DNA’. The fascinations and promises held out by various areas in molecular biology, biochemistry and
