I am Piyush Kumar Sharma, a 6th semester medical student from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. I am one of the 19 young researchers who lucky enough to be chosen to witness legends come to life at firsthand i.e. the descent of the gods from Mount Olympus and their walking amongst us, please excuse the dramatical quotation. I refer of course to the 61st Nobel Laureates Meeting at Lindau, wherein students of Science are given an opportunity to discuss science with people who have not only defined, redefined and turned it around but have also turned it into a way of life whereby it is no longer limited to the study of nature in its myriad forms but in fact becomes an exercise in how to perceive, infer and de facto to be.
