Science is my passion. The risk involved in research is very minimal. Sometimes risks involved make the experiments interesting, fascinating, and thrilling. Once I had to face a real danger too. During an experiment involving harmful chemicals, an accident resulted in toxic fumes and followed inhalations that took me near to death, even with appropriate safety measures. My parents were inherently terrified. I remember consoling them saying, “science merits sacrifice.” However, after that incident my parents never allowed me to do any research involving harmful chemicals. There may be some scars; the one who overcomes those wins.
