Bisulsan Hiking.

I love hiking.....but if somebody ask how many times this year then I would say just two. I could cite many excuses for not going hiking often though i love it but i wont. However, I think, now onward I might go hiking very often and now i got new reason.

My wife could hike bisulsan, one of the toughest to climb and thus i got a partner and no need to ask anybody else if they have time to hike or not. One month ago we went to palgonsan mountain range and this time bisulsan. On both the occasions, me and my wife got no physical problem with legs cramp and our stamina has really improved.

Lets see how much can I improve my hiking frequency.

Regarding bisulsan, it was really a fun.....we too got few good photo shots, which could be another reason why bisulsan hiking was a fun.

Taraman Kadayat

Hehe....let me start with hehe about Taraman Kadayat because most of the times I start conversation with him with a good laugh......so simple so humble.......and most important thing I like about him is that his mood is constant and our thinking is parallel. When I make jokes, he enjoys, not like others who are so proud and takes it seriously....lol.. I met him...probably sometime in September 2011, hard to remember the old date. I had one suggestion for him....get married soon...lol.

My First Publication - And the adrenaline Rush

Publish or perish - such a popular word in research field. It was September 2011 when my so called research was started and I was Master student at Yeungnam Univeristy, South Korea. One year passed, and I got some so called data. Professor asked me can you write a paper with data you have? Instantly I said yes. That time I did not realize the impact factor or quality of journal, I just started to write what I thought. After few days, professor called and asked me to choose a journal for submission. I said I have no idea. He then suggested a journal called BBRC with IF 2.5 at that time. I wrote, professor commented, I wrote professor again commented,,,,,this went for about 5-6 times and finally it was submitted. After 3 weeks we got email with direct rejection.....lol. Professor asked me what next. I said I do not know. He then asked me how about journal with higher IF.....FEBS letters...IF 3.9. I said OK...just made few format correction and we submitted. It took almost a month and got more than 25 comments. LOL. We modified it and submitted....finally got accepted. We started on Sep 2012 and finally accepted on March 31, 2013. When professor sent me email regarding paper acceptance, I probably had a adrenaline rush and feel proud of myself at least for a day of March 31, 2013. Next day, I thought how many people have published paper,,,,and I thought I might be one among a billion. Lol, is there anything to be proud in that case. Nothing....just like fire of firefly. And again..the race begins...next paper....a never ending vicious cycle....
