As I write this, the first thing that comes to my mind is that, I got much more from my internship than what I could have ever imagined. Besides the invaluable research experience that I acquired, there were events and people, who made those ten weeks one of the most memorable time of my life.

　Beginning with the lab first, I joined Cell Architecture Lab with Dr. Akatsuki Kimura as my guide. I consider myself highly fortunate to have joined this relatively young lab, which was so full of zeal and enthusiasm. I actually cannot think of any quality of an excellent PI, which was not present in Dr.Kimura, and the impact clearly reflected in other lab members too. I worked on three projects, which provided me the broadest spectrum of working experience. The first project was purely experimental, third was purely computational, while second project had both experimental and computational components in it. Due to my educational background, the field was relatively new to me, but the way the things were explained to me by my respective project mentors, made the path of learning very comfortable. I was always free to pursue my independent thoughts and ideas, and was in fact encouraged to do so. I feel very fortunate in this aspect, as I have observed that usually internship students, at most places, are in reality deprived of this contraption. In order to check my ideas from going stray, I always had the highly experienced and substantiating hands of Kenji san and Koyama san, post docs who mentored my first and second projects. All the other lab members were also extremely generous to help me innumerous times during my work, most of the times compromising with their own busy schedules. The lab implemented highly advanced and latest technologies, and with initial training I was free to work independently with them which bolstered my confidence in my research skills.

　Apart from the projects, my weekend trips were also usually planned in the lab only. I am extremely thankful to Yoko san and Hanako san, who took so much interest in them, and guided me for where to go and how to go; be it rafting in Fujigawa river, climbing Mt.Fuji, or the cycle expeditions to mountains, lakes and sea beaches. As expected, these trips also contributed very significantly for making the stay so much more memorable. If somebody wants to extend his horizons of how good people can be, than Japan is a perfect place. And if this seems too much of generalization, then with not even a slightest doubt I can say that definitely Kimura lab is a perfect place. Every single person in the lab was so good, with the flag bearer being the inspiration for all. I consider myself very fortunate to have spent such good time with such good people.

　During my stay at NIG, my lab arranged for trips to other leading universities of Japan, like Tokyo University and Kyoto University, which proved to be very enriching experiences. Also I attended Japanese classes that were of great help. In those ten weeks I got to live with the culture and tradition of Japan, which is so rich in its values. I tried my best to be a part of them, and will try to inculcate some of those values in my life. Besides everything else, I was accompanied by other interns, who made all this experience even more unforgettable. In them, I got friends for the life time and beautiful memories to cherish forever.
