Finally a post that is current; and inline with the tagline of this blog..
Its been quite some time since I have done this, perhaps only in the very beginning of the blog.
MTP - M.Tech Project; is the mammoth that forms the course, and we had some useful insights on planning it well and managing its course.
What was observed; however was that it is important to be "diligent", "hard-working", "punctual", "genuinely interested" and so on - lot of terms that are so easily spoken about and advised but hard to practice.
And yet again - stress was laid on the fact that we are a part of a research community now - and our project and the resultant dissertation is the contribution that we are making to our fields. Now that part is clear and understood by me - it is what makes us 'Masters' in some sense...
Beyond anything - it is high time to realize what is important and prioritized in life(and I am deliberately using passive voice..). It is crucial to realize what is the stone, the gravel, the sand and the water in the famous wisdom story: Stone, Gravel and Sand. It was very well put by one of the professors that the MTP is the stone first - and it needs the top priority..
