ABSTRACT

Once upon a time, deep within a city in the Orient, lived a young girl called Snehalatha Bhrijbhushan. She spent her childhood merrily playing in the streets with her friends while her family and the neighbors looked on indulgently. “That girl, Sneha [as they called her], is going to become someone famous someday,” they would all say. Sneha soon became fascinated with the world of science. One day she announced, “I am going to sail across the blue oceans to become a scientist!”
