<\/p>\nGreetings…Hello<\/p>\n
Hi….I am baaaaaack!
\nIt has been a long time since I posted my previous blog. Well I don\u2019t want to make excuses but I was in trouble, a big trouble ……(BTW, my colleague from my previous job called me a \u2018trouble\u2019…:P)<\/p>\n
It was a pleasant day; there was fresh & sweet breeze blowing, sun was shining in full splendour, there were birds singing songs and we were walking towards a pub, located just behind the university. ….Hmm…somewhat romantic ya….:)….In fact I should define \u2018we\u2019 else you take some awry message…the word \u2018we\u2019, means my supervisor and his PhD & post doc students. We were going for lunch….great…and you know my supervisor said \u2018I gonna pay for you guys’ drinks\u2019(marvellous!). During the lunch, my supervisor said, I have a news for you guys, may be somehow harsh for some of you guys…..(pause)….\u201dI resigned\u201d…..o no, Ooo, really,………..(many voices at same time ….nice cacophony… I wanted to sing Enrique\u2019s “You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape my love\u201d…:P).<\/p>\n
So that was the reason, I was very busy. (In fact, you may take it other way around, But I don\u2019t wanna make you jealous. I felt free, sense of freedom…:)…and I came to know, what the value of freedom is!). Well, so the head of ISIS group and some senior researchers called a round table conference and tried to sort out the things. As we (two PhD guys and one research fellow) were working on a project funded by some external source, hence they gave us less freedom (It is not wrong in saying \u2018no freedom\u2019) to choose a supervisor. The rationale behind this was that, a supervisor has to take care of whole project as well as our PhD. Anyway, our new supervisor was chosen (and amazingly, he was the supervisor of a famous researcher from the IAM group, some 10 years back).<\/p>\n
So this was the whole story, you may ask what is (or can be) the (possible) effects of this change on my PhD. I would say, not a big problem at this time, as this happened when I was in the 5 months in. As, in the first few months one mainly focuses on a broad area rather than becoming somewhat specific. BTW, PhD is all about, Reading, Thinking, Thinking, Thinking, and then Writing…:).. Here is a famous joke about PhD students…<\/p>\n
\u201cA PhD student knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing\u201d *
\nHmm, just think about this joke and try to think like a researcher…)…and for explanation, read the poem next. I will see you guys in a couple of weeks with a new trouble….till DaT….ByezzzzZ<\/p>\n
(Note: Find me at the middle of the photo, at graduation ceremony)

* \u201cOne does not have to be brilliant, a genius, to be special.
\nTo do something better than anyone\/everyone else. To be
\nUNMATCHED,
\nOne has only to choose an END
\nany END
\nthat MATTERS
\nthat INSPIRES
\nYOU
\nAnd then DO IT\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
