Separation science has seen glamour and growth with ever-increasing demand for analysis ranging from environmental, toxicological to forensics. The list is endless and the genre is getting narrower for the graduates. Considering these points, eminent professors and research scientists have rolled out a wonderful interface for evolving pedagogy.

It is fascinating and interesting interface to ask generic to advanced questions. I was intrigued by the idea and would love my graduate class to learn afresh. I would love to challenge the age-old universal method of teaching.

Every now and then, someone invites me to join some social network, and the same thing usually happens:
- I sign up, enter in some subset of the usual 'profile' questions (especially the personal section is worth looking out for)
-I find a few people and become "friends" with them. Further ‘so-called’ dumb friends visit you and send friend requests and later are in no mood to communicate.
- I don't visit the site for a few months

Sunshine smile is the most amazing expressions on a human face. Cheeky chuckles, blushing ones, blah, blah are the happy expressions on the human face. What happens when the sunshine smile is converted into ghastly graphics making pace in the normal communication across the internet. Yes, I am talking about the four letter word of the electronic world called smilies. It is not that I loathe at the techno smilies, but it is the techno smilies in the emails which is annoying. No matter how aggressive you can be---just be, since the smilies are there to cover it. Smilies are used

Bon Jour everyone. Recently, I attended a three day pharmaceutical conference at Ahmedabad. Conferences are events which always teach me about the venue rather than the scientific communication. During the meet, I met people of all shapes and sizes and established great rapport. After the conference there were excellent choices for the delegates to visit the city.

The deadlines for reports, projects, assignments make the students grumpy and tired. The pressure of preparing manuscripts and taking out those fine print make them work no end. However, little do they realize when the aspiring scientists had no access to online literature. Fortunately with Google, things are simpler today.
