Hello all!! Today I would like to make you aware of recently recognized CRISPR - Cas9 technology. The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was jointly awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for their work on the development of CRISPR-Cas9, a novel method for genome editing. Their work was described as “rewriting the code of life”. How CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing works? CRISPR stands for CLUSTERED REGULARLY INTERSPACED SHORT PALINDROMIC REPEATS and is a family of DNA sequences that are found in genomes of bacteria and other single-celled organisms called archaea. Cas9, which stands for CRISPR Associated Protein 9, is a protein that cuts DNA, providing the ability to modify the genome. The sequences also contain the genome of a bacteriophage (a virus that can infect a bacteria) - that has previously infected the bacteria or archaea. These DNA sequences can then be used to detect and destroy DNA from similar bacteriophages in the future and play a key role in antiviral immune syst...

Hello all! Welcome back to my blog after a long time! Today, I am going to tell you the role of “KHICHDI” in our day to day life. There are various types of khichdi - it is a food we eat, khichdi - the daily soap we binge-watched once in our life, and the khichadi (messed up thoughts) we all carry in our brain ;) Now, talking about Khichdi as food, listening from mumma that today there will be khichdi in dinner, we as children start making faces or make an excuse that we aren’t hungry tonight :P. I like Khichdi, but not if I get to eat it daily. I don’t know who bought this food in this world. No doubt, it’s healthy to eat, but also whenever I eat khichdi, it feels like that is made for sick people and not for healthy people. That’s my perspective of seeing khichdi as food. Coming on to the Khichdi, which was the daily soap we once binge-watched. Remembering it makes me remind of many hilarious things in the show.  The ‘Parekh parivaar’ is one of the craziest bunch of characters ev...

Hello! As we all know that due to this pandemic, we are not able to  celebrate Teacher's Day together by being at school or college.  So here I am dedicating a poem written by me on the occasion  of Teachers' Day expressing my feelings for the teachers all over the world!         Dear teacher, You are the SA node of every classroom Heart of every school and  Respiratory system for the world. You may think you are merely teaching  But you are actually, Illuminating the mind of students. There’s a saying - “Parents are your first teacher”. But dear teacher, You are the one who shapes and molds The parents’ teachings; And give it a magical, and mystical glow. You are the legend And actual hero Who shapes this world. You are the one Who even after scolding students Love the students Equally, or even more. And don’t worry, Your students even know it more They are being scolded For their better fut...

When I was a kid, I liked to watch Doraemon a lot but, my mumma didn't like that as Nobita was very irresponsible and misused Doraemon's gadgets every time. She used to make sure that I don't imbibe the habits of those characters such as Nobita's unreliability, Suniyo's greediness, and Jiyan's short-tempered attitude. After so long, I binge-watched Doraemon today. The only difference was that mumma didn't stop me this time because she now knows that I won't adopt those characteristics. Oh yes! I wish if I could have those gadgets of Doraemon. So much fun I could have. Especially the 'anywhere door' via which I can go anywhere in this beautiful world. I want a time machine too to go back in time and be the unborn creature whenever I want to. Nowadays, kids have Doraemon as their parents as parents do their homework on behalf of their kid, buys them whatever they want, and also they get to use the smartphones too. But when I was a kid, my parents n...

Maths! A haunted place or a happy place? For me, It has always been a haunted place. As addition sign frightens me about first-aid, Subtraction makes me visualize the ECG's straight line, As if the heart has stopped, and the person is dead! As integration reminds of increasing cynicism around us. And differentiation makes me think of  my stockpiled chocolates getting lessened day by day. Also, Multiply makes me wonder about Coronavirus multiplying. And division as always frightens me about people getting divided due to  Caste, Creed, and Color. And Algebra is so lazy;  That it never finds its X. Roman numbers make me think of Rome but I couldn't visit Rome ever which makes me more curious as well as furious. I went on an investigation; If maths is actually a haunted or a happy place. Finally, I found  It was surely  a happy place for a lot of people and  Haunted for people like me. And then  I realized one day Maths is surely  A Mystery and people...

Welcome to my blog readers!!! DISCLAIMER:  IT IS JUST A GENUINE AND HONEST THOUGHTS WHICH I FELT AFTER WATCHING THE MOVIE 'DIL BECHARA'.THIS BLOG IS NOT WRITTEN TO HURT ANYONE'S EMOTIONS. This movie is a remake of Fault in Our Stars which is based on the book Fault in Our Stars written by John Green.  Now, coming on to the thoughts I had while watching the movie. I felt as if something was missing in the movie and somehow I wasn't able to connect. No doubt, Sushant's acting skills, and performance were just amazing; he was so involved with the scenes that it didn't seem he was acting also Sanjana Sanghi's acting skills are appreciable too. It was just the perfect actors were not given a perfect movie. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters just can't be replaced (Fault in our Stars). A lot of people have watched Dil Bechara and liked it. And, I would like to say; do watch the movie Fault in our stars too and also read the book if you are interested. You will n...

Hola Amigos!!! Let us know about graphology today! Y'all might have wondered someday - "Why Cursive?" The craft of letters and words identify your personality, known as Graphology or handwriting analysis, according to graphologists. Your handwriting is the photograph of your mind. Now, let me put the light on how different handwriting reflects your personality! 1. Size - Large letters characterize attention seekers,  big, outgoing personalities while small writing points to a person who prefers staying out of the spotlight, shy, and introverted types. Teeny-tiny scrawl might mean a person's retreating from society completely. If you have average-sized writing, it demonstrates a strong ability to focus and concentrate. 2. Slant - Which way do your words lean? Right indicates an outgoing, future-directed personality, like to meet and work with new people. Left means you're a more reserved observer. As for straight up and down, you're very rational and always t...
