The Ph.D for me is akin to training for a marathon. Sweat, Tears, Pain, Self-doubt, Why-the-hell, giving up a warm bed? It takes effort, discipline and giving up a large part of my other passion - fitness training. Right now I have a lot happening at the office, getting used to the new routine with the Husband is a change, so where does my Ph.D figure?


How does one attempt a Ph.D? The question bogged me down for awhile, until I received a very zen answer from an email I received from Prof. Vinoda Thota.

After all, what does it take for one to be ready to attempt this? Willingness to work a little, I suppose

It is as simple as that!
