RIA (Radioimmuno Assay) Lab

Last few months were full of hustle and bustle. Major things which preoccupied my mind were concerned with departmental duties, and one of them was shifting of Radioimmuno Assay Lab from Cancer Ward Building to Biochemistry department.

Many hurdles came in the way...as this work required approval of the AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board), Mumbai. Being in-charge of this lab had its own obligations....innumerable telephonic communications, sometimes no reply from the other side, many times unavailability of the person concerned and endless e-mails to BRIT (Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology, Mumbai) and AERB for approval of the new lab as well as renewal of the procurement of kits for thyroid estimation. 

Every bit of work teaches you many new things...as this one also did. I had to prepare the lay out plan myself for the lab according to the AERB guidelines which was an enjoyable task. In the mean time, the new lab was built  by the B & R (Building and Repair) department. 


Weeks after submission of the documents when finally the approval letter from AERB lay on the Head's table, it was really a rewarding experience. No matter how small the work is your enthusiasm can create  a remarkable difference. Things which seemed tedious and impossible in the beginning have started taking their real shape.


As I was going through one of my books, I saw these lines noted down long back by me,
"What you have to face in life is never in your hands, but what you feel is in your control. So, better feel good."
Take care...
