He told you “Why Water Is blue” ..Read how passion can take you places !

C V Raman grew up in an atmosphere of music, Sanskrit literature and Science. He stood first in every class and was.

His life offers many incidents of his genius and perseverance.

1. One day in 1903, Professor Eliot of Presidency College, Madras, saw a little boy in his B.A. Class. Thinking that he might have strayed into the room, the Professor asked, “Are you a student of the B.A. class?”
“Yes Sir,” the boy answered.
“Your name?”
“C.V. Raman.”
This little incident made the fourteen- year- old boy well known in the college.

2. When he was eighteen years of age, one of his research papers was published in the ‘Philosophical Magazine’ of England. Later another paper was published in the scientific journal ‘Nature’.

3. At the age of nineteen, Raman held a high post in the government. He was appointed as the Assistant Accountant General in the Finance Department in Calcutta.

4. Raman was very much interested in research work. So during the daytime he would attend his office and carry out his duties. His mornings and nights were devoted to research. This gave him full satisfaction. So he continued his ceaseless activities in Calcutta.

5. He was so passionate about research in physics that he sacrificed the powerful post in the government, which brought him a good salary.

6. Absorbed in experiments, it was not unusual for him to forget food and sleep. Sometimes working late at night, he would sleep in the laboratory on one of the tables.

Raman’s journey to England and back was by sea. In his leisure hours he had this idea- “Why the colour of sea is blue?” This thought made him discover the phenomenon “Raman scattering” caused by “Raman Effect”. And he eventually received a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930.

Moral: “If we are determined in life, anything is possible. We just need to be in control during our hard times and never give up. Always go for the things in life you love because that’s where you will achieve wonders.”
