General outlook

Hey people, I have taken an long break this time to add on, in this wonderful piece of art created by my friend. This time I hope to make few things clear with what are the fields where one can make a mark either with research or other aspects and still having a essence of biotechnology in it.

Starting with, there should be one thing pretty clear that research is never payed up to mark, at least in India, that is long term aspect, other things to consider are that research definitely leads to frustration, needs high end patience and dedication with single minded aim.

On other hand if we consider marketing, there is real time struggle initially, depends on one's skill to walk upstairs or to slide down, but it does pays off really well with experience. It needs one to be acceptable of terms that people can be best when sales are good but worst is never far to look for.

Considering management, off which marketing is a part, best to bet on, requires hackwork during course work but at least ends with something to rely upon, most preferable for job guarantee.

There are options like law, most companies require legal advisers and people with technical background are preferred, it is also safe bet to rely upon, relatively newer but has good prospects.

Rest of them include, quality control stuff, technicians, which are extremely easy to get along but are attached with boredom in longer time periods, some interesting prospects are also existing like dealing with updating of industry through magazines or news papers, pretty good to try hand on or teaching is ever green option, specially for girls, who are genetically better in making understand or putting their point in front of others. There are high end jobs for computer professionals, even for research or for data input, who can put their feet in fields like drug designing, clinical trials, genetic engineering, tracing evolutionary history.

Now, we stand from biotechnology background so definitely it should be our principle for how can we integrate different principles. It is most common ideology among biotechnology students that there has been unneeded hype created that biotechnology has great scope but it never pays off. Well, we should we make it dead clear that if we are standing in middle of sea without water, then we should know how to purify that water and live on it, there always 2 sides to every aspect.

Coming to research, it needs patience, needs capacity to handle frustration, but can we make a fun of it, it is important that we enjoy at the end of day, that is what here we for, so research does not needs us to sit in lab for hours together, or just dealing with books and reference journals, it should be a small part of it, but if we know then inventions which happened in previous times were never due to following particular protocol, there is always nice to make a group and put up rough ideas together, it really works out seriously, can generate new ideas, can make us also stand to think that entrepreneurship is possible, just requires planning, will fail many times, but working in unity always combats such things.

Integrating research with management, research can be done on management issues also, so that is nice for people who are good at research but really need funds to back them up. Same applies to law.

Computer aided technologies are on rise, biotechnology requires high end computing skills, which has opened broad way for computer professionals to contribute, it can be real fun and cheaper as computers are relatively cheaper to deal with when compared with high end biotechnology devices. It can allow best of logical brains to put in their best. Simple eg of integrating both is a real good topic like 'DNA Computing', using DNA to solve computer problems, simple question like how many ways in which brain can think, I suppose no computer can solve, but suppose that message is embedded in DNA itself, if that can be decoded, will open up high end technological prospects.

I have slightly deviated from topic, but today when money is definitely required at every single step, it is important that our interests definitely generate fuel for us to move further. It can be combated in few ways like taking up teaching at non governmental institutes, getting payed nicely, starting with some editorial sections in news papers to put our writing skills to earn a bit, designing simpler projects like strategies to save agricultural wastage, if that can be worked out, definitely would generate great income sources or for treatment of waste at different levels, using simples counselling sessions to keep people healthy by imparting them with idea of ways of maintaining good health, to deal with stress, like combining stress coutering sessions for company professionals, it can surely fill up pockets to keep moving. Arranging for small competitions where people can put newer ideas to work upon, can be used to generate incomes, although at smaller scales. Generating alternatives to loads of notes being photo copied, can not only save money for students but can generate interesting future work options. For creative students, starting tattooing business using basics of biology like safer chemicals, imprinting stuffs like DNA can make us look cool, definitely these ideas can work out among teenage sections

Next time, I wish to include technical aspects of what are real time classifications to work upon, to do research and other similar aspects, so thought to start with general outlook towards different openings.

Never lose hope, there is always new strand of future being made for us, we will make sure that most of us end with a work end DNA, with loads of proteins it will generate for everyone in terms of money.

P.S by Anand: I am not sure what is meant in the lengthy line of generarting alternative income.. Art of Living doesnt pay any of its volunteers for organising a workshop/course.. It is a six sigma, (UN recognised as well for its transparency in accounts) Non-Govt Non-Profit Volunteers Based largest organisation in the world.. AOL only re-imburses amount spend by volunteer for organising a course like sounds halls auditorium .. on return of white transaction receipt. That too has a deadline .. i.e if I am late to submit the amount that I have spent on a course or if i lost the bills for the same purposely or inadvertently.. I lose my money.. I have learnt to preserve my bills hard way.. During last UTSAV my wallet was lost and I had to pay the course fee for those who had applied for the course through me!!!
Anyone who doubts this can volunteer for Art of Living in any part of the world and spend some money from pocket on courses and throw away bills in garbage.. and ask for reimbursement.. GoodLuck ;)

For making money use HEAD .. ART OF LIVING is not about making money it is about HEART.. to empower someone wealthy and asking him to donate a fixed minimum amount for our service projects.. u can find them on http://artofliving.org

There are people less fortunate than others.. sharing and caring makes love multiple.. :) AOL believes in ancient Indian philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.. Universe is One Family!

Mysterical mysterious

The title goes with topic I am about to discuss or put my thoughts into it.

'Biotechnology', which has scored all time hit score in becoming most difficult mystery to crack, even DNA code seems easier to decode this days.

It's a nice feeling that I am part of it, as it gives me a opportunity to look at this difficulty from different perspectives, from layman's view who thinks this is gold pot being waited to get emptied on any one who gets a touch of it, from students view, who feel they are struck in mid sea, where they have water but really can not drink it, from people who are involved with imparting imparting theories or principles of biotechnology into students head, who themselves are encircled with thoughts of understanding biotechnology.

Biotechnology for me, has been a great source to understand myself, reasons being if u learning such great mystery, it's bound to somewhat look into within one's own self which is on similar grounds.

It is not only about learning what goes within a small space of a living cell to a huge limits of a fermenter, it's more important if we can apply it to daily terms of life. Biotechnology, as we all know encompasses limits of such varied subjects, so how do we really understand what are we doing here or how are we suppose to carry the lights of this distantly seemed light of gold, which it can become if properly churned, but it becomes a type of radiation, which throws off people who cannot handle it.

People who are waiting to enter this division, I would suggest and also I wish they bear a goal in mind, with exact picture of their aim, whether research into it makes them fancy their dreams or marketing products can fill up their pockets, patience is term which stands so important for any one who can even distantly relate themselves to biotech. Frustration is other aspect of any biotechnologist, it is for anyone actually, it's really a need for a person to handle frustration, there are times when person thinks if he/she can mutate him/herself so that they can know which way to drive themselves to instant success, so people anyone who is facing this difficulties can really contact my friend 'ANAND', a person who can easily get you out of such mentalities, with his biotechnological art of of living, I am exactly in my senses when I am writing this, so please do put a thought on it.

Biotechnology can put you in front of so many choices that we can blind to view anything through and feel there's nothing which is meant to be out of it. It's said that excess can make you blind.

I just wish institutions enrolling students for imparting degrees of biotechnology in their resumes should make it accountable for years which students put in, by innovative thinking like making students earn for any project they carry out, or recognition in front of crowd, or putting students through compulsory counselling sessions, grinding students to practical aspects of principles they learn in theory, not only by just visiting industries but having their own labs to terms which can allow students to stand with confidence among anyone in terms of trouble shooting or handling of different lab apparatus.

It's said that biotechnology has a great scope, but can anyone tell me in terms of what?..jobs?...is it really so..explaining it, biotechnology can have only people who are into aspects of this field from a considerable part of their life, this field deals with living science so it does enforces to choose for people who can give outputs with minimum error, it does lessens chances of newer minds to enter at speeds, when compared to other sectors. It does have scope if you choose to put your brains behind opening up your own venture or dealings with share market related to biotech. It is bound to change, again patience needs a mention here, also make yourself stand at that point, at least try to, it is definite that you will be recognised as a potential and earn up for efforts put in.

People who think I have touched tip of biotechnological iceberg, then hold on as I am still trying to bind to upstream elements which will allow me to transcript my message through this blog and help translate proteins in any living system reading this blog post.

For now, I just wanna put a temporary regulation and come back with some more interesting stuff to put my brains view behind it. So, people who are checking this out, just remain constitutively expressed in terms of holding your senses on this blog. I am sure it will be beneficial for anyone and everyone, just don't loose hope, it does make world for this world of people.

P.S By Anand/Biotechbuster: J(Z)ubin is a grad in Biotechnology, PGDip. in Applied & Industrial Biotechnology , currently pursuing M.Tech in Bioinformatics. This Iceberg is really huge.
