Satyabhama though a graduate in the subject of History chose to pursue her higher studies in Archaeology. 'I felt that apart from it being a practical approach to history, it was also one which aroused curiosity. Satisfying that curiosity means you gain greater knowledge. In fact it is challenging because it involves adding to the existent knowledge and linking the past with the present and preserving it for the future', she said.

        Being an archaeologist not only satisfies the lady's quest for knowledge but also keeps her on her toes through the year. When she is not reading about historical facts and battling with mindboggling figures she is busy excavating on the grounds discovering new buried sites, seals and relics which throw light on past civilizations.

        The first terracotta bull reported from an excavation in India goes to her credit. 'Archeology is a continuous research process. I have to read new books and other materials concerned with the subject constantly to get myself updated on all matters. I also have to personally participate in the excavations carried on and often have to get back to the site to understand better our discoveries. These practical sessions on the site though tedious remove the monotony of work and make it more interesting and challenging', she said.
