I am the master of my failure… If I never fail how will I ever learn. : CV Raman

•  I am the master of my failure… If I never fail how will I ever learn. 
• Ask the right questions, and nature will open the doors to her secrets.
• Treat me right and you will see the light…Treat me wrong and you will be gone!!
• You can’t always choose who comes into your life but you can learn what lesson they teach you. 
• Success can come to you by courageous Devotion to the task lying in front of you.
• If someone judges you,they are wasting space in their mind…Best part, it’s their problem. 
• I  strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial and government or military pressures 
• The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter. 

Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Tiruchirappalli in Southern India on November 7th, 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics so that from the first he was immersed in an academic atmosphere. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions.

His earliest researches in optics and acoustics – the two fields of investigation to which he has dedicated his entire career – were carried out while he was a student.

Since at that time a scientific career did not appear to present the best possibilities, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in 1907; though the duties of his office took most of his time, Raman found opportunities for carrying on experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta (of which he became Honorary Secretary in 1919).

In 1917 he was offered the newly endowed Palit Chair of Physics at Calcutta University, and decided to accept it. After 15 years at Calcutta he became Professor at the Indi
