Then, Prof. Sunil Kateriya was my co-supervisor. I was working as a DST Nanomission fellow at @aiims_newdelhi. I cloned, expressed & purified iLOV domain of a luminescent protein which is part of the work which led to this year's Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine. #nostalgia

Completed 7 years as Assistant Professor of Zoology at Sheodeni Sao College, Kaler. Watched it grow brick by brick from scratch. Names may fade, but honest work stays, living on through the labs and classrooms empowering underprivileged students. @magadhuniversi1 #zoology #STEM

Grateful to my erstwhile supervisor Prof. Subhash for the opportunity to learn FIB-SEM at @aiims_newdelhi. A memorable moment was Prof. Nag appreciating my SEM images of spider silk during valedictory. I gifted him my poetry book, An Unsung Anthology, as a token of gratitude.

Perks of being a teacher in a rural college: From self-handstiched handkerchief to delicious "Khurma", students came with all sort of treasures. I didn't ask for these things but I loved what they did for me today. Thank you dear students for all your love. Happy teachers' day!

New publication alert! Co-authored this work alongside my JNU senior, Dr. Suchismita Roy from @UCSanDiego, California, USA. Writing on a topic outside my core expertise was a fantastic learning experience. link.springer.com/chapter/10…

What’s the purpose of an Ombudsman if serious issues are ignored? I’ve complained twice to the branch manager & once to the BOI Ombudsman with zero response. If this negligence continues, I will be moving all my accounts away from @BankofIndia_IN. Please resolve this ASAP. @RBI
