"​It was early 2020 and our work came to a standstill, much like everything else in the country at the time. I continued to work in biology research before I decided to shift to critical science studies. I took up a lab management position which brought me back to the biology lab this year. This led me to conduct simple science experiments for undergraduate students."

"What is more important - the rigour of scientific research, or imagination? You will find some well-meaning seniors telling you that rigour is all that is in research, and I agree. But if you’re told that there’s no time to play, that is not true."

"This story begins at the end of a trek."

"I hope my journey serves as a reminder to other women—especially those who are married or have children—that pursuing your dreams is always possible. With resilience, passion and determination, nothing is truly out of reach."

"Western blot, Western blot
Western blot, Western blot

इतना क्यों सताते हों?
Why do you cause so much trouble?"

"...This is what science is about…pushing your understanding to uncover the secrets nature holds, despite finding ourselves in dark alleys that seem scary and futile to explore, but unearths more and more wonders, if you find out new ways to explore them."

"I always thought about how reagents might feel when we frequently freeze and thaw. How it may feel from -200C to 40C, -800C to 40C and sometimes liquid nitrogen i.e., -1960C to room temperature. Are they cursing me to experience a similar situation?"

"I wonder what the spray bottles in the lab think of me."
