LOCKDOWN AND NEW NORMALCY: FROM THE DIARY OF A RESEARCHER

Three years after starting my Ph.D., focusing on the area of molecular endocrinology and toxicology at Banaras Hindu University, I would describe myself as a Mid-PhD research scholar. I'm seen as a senior by Masters Students, but as a relative newbie by my department's senior scholars. That is, of course, under normal circumstances, but from March 25, we have not been living under that old normal situation. Lockdown, I heard this word for the first time in my life on March 24, 2020.
