That’s what Chemistry taught me!

Sneha Bince, St. Xavier's College (Autonomous),

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

---

White lab coat stained,

Along the course of the practical,

Taught me,

A good start is not all that it takes,

But it’s all about the continued toiling that shapes.

Crystallization that didn’t happen,

Even on cooling,

Taught me,

The essence of seeding,

An external real support is all that it takes.

Organic Spotting on an awful day,

With an accurate melting point though,

Taught me, To keep going,

Even when everything doesn’t fall in place,

A single confirmation is all that it takes.

Keep working,

Love experimenting,

Try learning,

It’s rewarding,

And that’s all it takes.
