Yesterday was another day of curation work. Filtering all the wrong entries was a troubling experience but we were happy about the quality of the entries that we have achieved. Though it was a long serious day, we had some laughs too. Chotu declared that he had 7 hours of sleep (which made the other members mad, as they had less than 5 hours of sleep) but added after a pause that it was for the last 3 days together, which made the team roar with laughter. Its proud to say that Chotu Lumbu has polished his linguistic skills that he is almost a tamilian in his talk (But he is from Delhi). Ubuntu also tried her speech in Hindi, only to say Bhoot (Ghost) instead of Bhookh (Hunger). We tried some telugu, kashmiri and bengali too. The day was filled with Krazzy activities, with everyone laughing at each other (there were LOTS of reasons for us to laugh). We were tweeting all the day, with some new designations (Eg. Moderator turned to Room keeper when she was trying to change the temp. of Air Conditioner and being the door-man(woman). She was also bugging the bugger bhaiya toooo much.) We even discovered that Bugger Baiya has a good talent of story telling which we enjoyed late at night. With the last day of curation work to look forward, we went to sleep.
Today, it was a lazy start (being the last day of work). We completed our curation work, had some snaps together. But altogether it was a fast day that we had to rush through. Our friends have already arrived and Bugger Baiya was having constant calls which made all of us to look forward to meet our friends!!!

The world has been changing from the date of its creation itself.
ReplyDeleteThe change that the present world is waiting to see is the Borders of the internet being crossed to to unveil the secret of a deadliest genome, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The day one of the conference has started with the inauguration by Dr. Bramhachari, with some motivational talks by Mr. Chauhan and Lord Bhatia.
Altohugh some Mentors of IPW are aware that what is behind the curtain but i know the excitement in their nerves can't be ruled out!
The talks are still on and I'm now listening to Ms. Karin Timmermann from WHO and will be updating the same very soon.......
The first session after the lunch starts with a bang As Mr. Paul Cawthrone from MSF demands more efficient steps to be taken to eradicate Tuberculosis completely.
ReplyDeleteIn response to the role of R&D, Dr. Bramhachari replied that OSDD is open to all & the members have a commitment for a lifetime to accept any challenge they are given. "OSDD means commitment"
The panel discussion has now started and Dr. Jaljit Bhattacharya from HP is delivering his talk on Technology enabled collaborative research.
I'll be sharing more on this from time to time...
"OSDD needs best minds of the worlds, not money" says Dr. Bramhachari. We have plans to eradicate TB within three weeks of treatment, he adds.
ReplyDeleteThe panel Discussion starts with motto "Collaborative research is the answer to corporate model"
