Away from the buzz of Delhi, nestled among green trees frequented by birds, is CSIR's Human Resources Development Centre at Ghaziabad. HRDC is having a bunch of unusual group. Usually frequented by scientists and leaders of CSIR, is now the hub of Connect to Decode activity. Dr. Anshu Bhardwaj has quietly started the onsite phase of Pathway Annotation project. Her handpicked team leaders are quietly doing the Quality Control (QC) check of the data annotated by the team.
As you walk into the room, you get the sense of walking into the Ops Room of a major military operation. The air is tense. Hardly any words are spoken. Work is brisk. Fingers work on the key boards like that of a skilled tabla player. You might have heard of power play in cricket. This team has devised power sessions which last for an hour. After each power session there is a lean hour, again a power session...and on and on they go till late into the night. Dr. Anshu has to drag out her team for lunch and coffee. Except on one occasion- if a peacock is dancing with full bloom, the team takes a break to peek a look and you can see Rohit running with his camera. But sensitive as they are the peacocks shy of their dance very soon and the team is back on their keyboards with their fingers dancing with double vigour.
