I always try to find answers about everything I perceive. I try to bring down the subtle details to a simple, colorful story- like shaping a figure out of wet clay. So, as long as the raw material is with me I keep remodeling it to a more appealing form. Hence, working at SMC has given me an opportunity to highlight the benefits of the toil scientific community put to make our lives better and to bring it forth to the public for them to understand and appreciate.
