The Most Ultimate Question Of Life!

Well, there are 2 fundamental question which confronts us –

·         What is the meaning of life?

·         Where is the low fat milk kept in the super market?

Lot has been said in past on the first question and lot will be said in future too. So, this post address the second question.

Well, the truth is no one, which includes me, can definitely answer this question. You cannot find a low fat milk by reading this blog. You can sit at home and read all the posts, but you will not find low fat milk. You can read till the cow comes home. But those cows will not give low fat milk. Not even the cows who eat B grade posters of Hindi cinema instead of grass. So, get your fat ass off that couch and visit the super market.

According to Gautama Buddha – “Life happens to you when you are searching for it”. Applying the same logic (I am science student of course), the low fat milk will fall upon me when….oh yeah got it! Extra virgin olive oil.

But where the hell is extra virgin olive oil in super market?? I wish I could answer this question but someone is knocking the door.

Bye Bye. May plastic cover be with you!

Medical Writing !

Medical writing combines my passion for writing, science, medicine and therapeutic areas. Medical writing is a diverse filed compromising of regulatory writing, scientific writing, educational writing and medical journalism. Each of these domains include vast sub-fields and getting exposure to all is nearly impossible! Considering the ever-expanding therapeutic areas, it is very difficult to acquire knowledge in all. All successful medical writers share some common traits- love for writing, attention to detail, a strong attention to detail, ability to gracefully receive feedback and implement the same, self discipline and strong adherence to timelines.

One can easily develop and nurture the needs, but the spark must be there. As a beginner there are a few thing which I am planning to do.

• Join American Medical Writers Association (AMWA)

• Build portfolio and website

• Join and stay active on LinkedIn

• Focus on my strengths & improve them constantly

I have explored a few resources to gain knowledge in medical writing . Happy exploring!

1.     Toolkit for New Medical Writers- AMWA website

2.     Working as a Medical Writer- American Association for the Advancement of Science

3.     Articles for Medical Writers- Hitt Medical Writing

4.     The Accidental Medical Writer- Brian Bass and Cynthia Kryder

Six Reasons to Go Road Tripping !

If you love travelling, you have to explore places in India- by road.

In my case, it was a bit different. I first hit the road by my bike, and then fell in love with travel. I will give you 6 reasons to travel in India via road.

1) Driving/ Riding thrill- Ah! Trains and Planes can really take you farther at a very high speed, but they decide where you stop and what you see. You take the road and its your command! You decide where you stop, what you eat, and what you discover.

2) Surprise, surprise- The thrill of sudden lake popping up or a sleepy village whizzing by. The way valleys open you and their pointed peaks pop up. Cruising through places have shown me untouched, unforgettable and amazingly beautiful India.

3) Clean roads and hotels- Gone are the days of single strip, scary tar roads. In today's India, we can see well structured concrete roads. The fear of unclean, unhygienic hotels and loos have also disappeared. Now we notice, real good hotels have sprung up and the famous food chains are never far!

4) Food! Food! Food!- Dhaba food cannot be matched even with the five stars- No Kidding! You wait, while they cook and offer you mouth watering Dal Makhani, Vada Pav, Tandoor or cutting chai.

5) Change of plans- The road travel, lets you change you plans at any point of time. You are free to move anywhere..may be a hidden fort, or beautiful lake, religious ceremony or festival. The more to-dos will get added automatically to your list.

6) Life skills- Travelling by self makes you more self dependent. May be fixing a puncture, or swimming your vehicle through a stream. Learn as you go ahead!

So your rubber ready to meet road? Engine full throttle?? Happy Journey! Ride safe!
