"Great old castles full of dreams,
                 Transcending all the mystical sins,
                 Buried deep under meadows green,
                 It was defeat never seen."
                                                     - Srijanak De

• A brief intro:
  My mother gave my name, “Srijanak” that means “Creator”. The root of scientific creativity lies in questioning the impossible. “Greatness is a journey that begins with the impossible and turnsinto the unforgettable”, was once said by Miguel Torres. I may borrow words from the iconicspeech on freedom and justice of a great American, Martin Luther King, to affirm with unsulliedconviction that I have a dream. I have a dream to turn an impossible into unforgettable bygroundbreaking scientific invention that would change the world. As a liberal humanist with anabiding love for science, I have a dream to shepherd the prodigious advancement of science for the benefits of mankind and make this planet a better place to live in through my pioneering contribution in science and technology.


• Aspiring to be in ten years:
  In ten years, I want to see myself to be apart of a team of innovators in NASA engaged in the design and development of the robotic fleet to advance human exploration of space.


• Things I love doing:
  Whenever I get a chance, I try to imagine various situations in life and perform imaginary role-plays. For example, I do shadow practice of a soccer or cricket match, whereby I keep a check on my shadow as I practice various game techniques to improve my action and sharpness without actually playing. Similarly, I imagine myself playing a leadership role in a fictional event orpresenting my new scientific invention to a group of renowned scientists and then I show mimicry of the corresponding actions to my friends and peers. In addition to entertaining others, I derive fun from these role-plays as I can elevate myself to any level beyond limits. Besides, I love listening to songs especially Rabindrasangeet, practice singing them, watch football dribbling skills and movies on the net.


• Strong points:
  1. I possess a natural talent in logical and rational thinking.
  2. I am amiable,responsible,honest and loyal.
  3. For me even the sky is not my limit. I strongly believe that dedication, determination and perseverance and true faith can move mountains and I try converting this belief of mine into practice.


• Weak points:
  1. I cannot easily forget events which tend to hurt me. But on a positive note, I often use this ability of mine in achieving feets on my second attempt, failure of which in the first one had hurt me.
  2. I trust people very easily. Sometimes, it has some ill-effects, but at the same time it often helps me in doing team work in a much better way.
  3. I am kind and caring and I possess a very soft heart and thus get emotional and sensitive to issues quite often.
