Chill its just a phase. U ll get there. wat do those scientists know anyways other than science?
thanks a lot vivek..its so encouraging :)
Everyone has a different skill and research is not everyone's piece of cake. Only a few can do good research. Usually, those who are so systematic, organised and good in focused reading do research well. But they will fail in application.
Designing a car and making one are two different things; Even if it is well made as per market demands, marketing skill decides the success. So it is essential to ensure diversity. If research is tough, leave that to bookworms, timepieces, calculators and perfection-obsessive schizophrenics. Be proud of being a creative deviant.
On the second day of mid-term meet, we were asked to present the proposal for dissertation in front of the NCAS team. I presented it well. Once the question session started, my ears started to bleed. Some of them virtually bit my neck (that's the time they become powerful and really want to show that they are clever and experienced compared to other staff). My volume reduced gradually and for the last question, my brain went into standby mode and refused to wake up. Finally, they decided that I was already dead and did let me go. Whew!
The funny element was, I proposed something. They darted irrelevant questions and tried to prove that they know a lot by stating some irrelevant examples. I was confused and taken towards detour. They pushed me off the cliff and after I got into mute mode, they suggested me the course of action which was not at all different from what I proposed! And strangely, no one noted that they had plagiarised my own proposal to give suggestions! The reason is, mine was not a conventional research. It's an experiment to qualitatively analyse the impact of photography as an advocacy tool. Those who questioned me did not question those who copied MPhil thesis proposals. They could see research only in terms of numerical data, case studies and stories; they could not see it in the way I really meant it. If such people do not understand, they ask questions, which in turn implies that they are stupid.
If you do something new, you'll face questions and you'll be taken off the course by those "scholarly" lot. At the end of the day, you will feel bad; not because someone tried to make you stupid; but because you had been made powerless infront of panel and you were disabled to argue, challenge and make them realise that they are stupid. Prove the truth in some other occasion; Ask terrifying questions and confuse them when they are on the podium. That's how I balance the equation.
By the way, I too can brief on how matrix works; I watched that movie thrice in theatre itself :D. Leave those people, I am eager to know what different things you tried. If the gearwheels in my birdbrain work, I'll try to chirp.
:D hehehe...oh it was pathetic!
another kutti rauf in the making :P
