Today 26 Jan, 2013 republic day.............
Happy republic day to all of you. Morning program ,"Jan Gan Man", and Nukkad was awesome. Nukkad topic was very irony and related to the latest social issue from which our country is struggling right now.
All the foreign participants of the workshop attended morning republic day celebration. A voice is coming from my inside --- man we chose best dates to conduct the workshop, they all saw our so called "Cultural values" and we made them stand on "Jan Gan Man during flag hosting". :)
Other than republic day today is second day of the "Quantum Biology" workshop at IIT Jodhpur. Soon IIT Jodhpur is going to set up graduate and post graduate courses in the field of "Quantum Biology" setting up CoE in Quantum biology hasna mat. Speakers were invited from all over the world to take input about course structure and curriculum.
I was one of the volunteer administering Fooding for the workshop. The only reason for the participation was to get good food during this workshop :) By the way that is only partially true. Workshops and conferences always fascinate me but the thing was that topic was not matchable with my capabilities or moreover understanding the theme was beyond my intellectual capability. In spite of all i attended some of the sessions by renowned speakers invited from corners of the world.
Things i learned (i thought i should share) in workshop was that sessions were damn boring and all who were there including faculty were like jabardasti bathaiya hein sabko:), some were checking emails on there laptops, some were talking, some were smiling by seeing foreign visitors i am also one of the culprit that korean {sorry}, some were playing around their mobile phones, some were taking nap faculty too i won't name any :) i was too :). Uff Am I writing essay on "A scene @ Railway station"? I am feeling like that :)
I am not saying that we did not earn anything from workshop but question isCan we learn more?
Finally time to conclude,
Some of the points that are bothering me and we should do something about it-
1. How can we make these workshop interesting and understandable by the masses?
2. More interaction and more collaboration among all of us is needed during these kind of workshop.
3. Pre workshop sessions and Pre mind storming sessions should be conducted in the form of seminars, days before the workshop so that we can take maximum benefit from the foreign visitors.
Overall food was good the only satisfaction i got during the workshop, one more day is left. :)
For me today's Republic day is dedicated to Jyoti Singh Pandey (Nirbhaya).
Jai Hind.
