The Art of doing a PhD - Part I

It has been a really long time since I last blogged. Life has been pretty busy these last few days/months. I have been trying to finish my long-pending PhD. To update my thesis work is over, it is writing which is taking time. I need some more time to finish the writing part. Well as I am nearing the end of my PhD life, I thought I should jot down a few valuable points of learning before moving ahead from here. There are 3 basic laws of PhD which I would adapt/rediscover. As it is said, research is inspired so are my laws from Newton the great scientist:

1. PhD follows a sine curve, there are ups and there are downs. Both of these states require external force which comes from two very important components of PhD: The Guide and The Student. PhD will remain in the downs until the guide pulls the student out of the down to up, and the student will move down with his force of distractions as and when possible.
2. The time period (T) required to finish a PhD is depend on 'p' - The problem taken up for solving and  'i' The interest the student and the guide have in the problem. "p" has multifareous objectives and definitions which is beyond the scope of this blog( a typical term used in technical papers),  but " i" has two components which follow the law of vector addition: is and ig, the interest of the student and the interest of the guide in the problem respectively.
3. For each and every work that you do, you shall publish or you shall perish.

I will explain these laws in Part II which will be a continuation of the current subject we have undertaken for the purpose of subjective research.
