Alumni Memoirs
“Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.”
Special Memories
“The Memories that have been built there in the Medicinal and Process Chemistry Division owing to the fascinating and extensive laboratory facilities and unexplained chemicals mediated brain activation were the last which had taken their space in my Cerebellum...but to name a few, 1. Hydrogenation reaction at very high pressures (3000 PSI) using high pressure Stirred Reactor for the development of a compound S-0007-867 and skilled handling of Ozone Gas Generator for Ozonolysis-that nobody dare to handle in my absence ....,”
When CDRI won first Cricket Trophy
“There were a lot of fond memories during my time at CDRI; the fondest memory was being part of the Misra lab, and discussing my research with Amit. Also, I fondly remember being part of the CDRI cricket team when we won the CSIR Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar trophy in 2005; that was the first time CDRI had won this trophy!”
Friend Memories and Experiments
“My seniors and Juniors company for entire tenure of wondering days, canteen, some failures and the excitement of experimenting new things, learnings and unlearning of few aspects of theoretical concepts of past. the most important: moments which really helped me do reach so far are of the important moments of depression and sometimes frustration and overcome from the situation by the help of friends and guide. ”
MPC Building
“Woking in MPC building itself a memory for all time. Visiting biology and animal facility was my one of the sweetest memory as I understood how our molecules is connected with all department and how the med chem process flow. Sometimes evening tea near to Gomti river is also another memory.”
