People wasting God given gift: TALENT

Once I was on a flight to SanFrancisco. The flight was full of doctors heading to a conference. After few hours of movies and sleep, I asked the doc sitting next to me what was he upto. He told me that his research is about finding out if that one specific chromosome was behaving like a carrier for cancer to offspring. 

May be his explanation was so intense that I felt I wasted one life time. 

On a similar note I still remember the following adrenaline rush moments of my life

Ecology: I was talking to Dr. Raghundha Rao on few topics and he was explaining how animals sense the changes on earth. I was told that animals sense the depleting vegetation/food options and thus refrain from reproduction so that their offspring will not suffer. 

Astronomy: My Physics professor in +2, who was a scientist in NSTL has really provided me that love for the subject. It used be awesome to learn about those phenomena. Movie Interstellar was just a Video blog of those classes. 

Oceanography: There is an office of National institute of oceanography in Visakhapatnam. As a child I always wondered what the hell they do. Recently I read in papers that they developed huge concrete blocks and threw them in the bay which will serve as homes for the aqualife and create new nesting grounds. This not only helps the oceans but also the fisherman as they need not now go longer distances to find fish. 

The world of science and technology is so beautiful that one cannot satiate the hunger within one lifetime; at the same time it is not everyone's cup of tea to relish the same. However, almighty has created few individuals who can actually contribute to this great ocean, called Science. 

It's unfortunate to see such really bright minded people losing focus about life and rather making a career which makes them rich, JUST FINANCIALLY.

I think God gave some super abilities to such people and they just waste it. 

I know at least 2 of them in my life till now.

One joined Amazon after studying MS in Artificial Intelligence with 4.0/4.0 and the other is doing Emergency Medicine after being a topper in Medicine. 

The best brains should not be lost to service industry. They should be R&D delivering better good to humanity!
