TBGO Workshop Day1

TBGO C2D: Gene Ontology Annotation by the students across the world. And now they are here in Delhi for the final rounds of their work.

Lets hear from them their experiences for the DAY1.

Hey, We (PSGians) landed here at the Nizamuddin Station with hand full of luggages that we can hardly carry. Mr. Sukhbir received us with a big smile and with a weird sense of direction! We finally reached IGIB Guest House. After lunch with Sukhbir and Deeksha, we went to IGIB lab, where we met our Guide, Dr. Vinod Scaria. Dr. Zakir Thomas gave us a visit. He even sneaked at Suresh's work and gave him a shock (Suresh didn't know that he was talking to ZT)! Anyway, we finally ended at the conference room with a room full of scientists and "kids" (Thats how they called us!). After surviving the questions that were bombarded at us, we got to continue our work! We returned to our rooms late at night, to a much awaited cosy bed and looking forward to tomorrow's dawn!

Sunday!!! Hurray... Its a holiday... I guess not! :( We worked! Dipon and Vivek joined us for lunch and ever since, they are stuck with us! Since it was Easter, Shamini (Sham), Dipon, Suresh and Myself went on a road trip to St. Sacred Heart Cathedral with Mr. Saurabh, late in the evening. We pushed cars (boys did this exercise and VS helped too!), jumped on the autorickshaw (which got punctured) and even trended on our footwear. We roamed the streets of Delhi to find Palika Market and we finally found a bottle of water (Bisleri Bottle)! Open Central Park was crowded but we had the time to relish our bottle of water! We found kids dancing MJ's moves on the road, woman washing her clothes, Delhi band playing some tune and the calm trees shadowing the streets at night. We got on the Metro, saw Hanuman Mandir and returned back to IGIB. Poor Deepa, Karthi and Vivek. They were stuck with small notebooks and annotation work. Dont worry, they'll get their due credit (I hope!).
