Points to remember, while doing a PhD in India

1) Never expect to complete your thesis by overtaking your seniors. But if you see your junior overtaking you then bless his stars.

2) Never complain about the expenditure on PhD. You will have to take a break, make money and come back.

3) Always say yes, when asked to do something. Only arrogant people say 'No'

4) Always say 'no' if you are asked something on your subject. Knowing more is a sign of 'over-smartness'.

5) Your knowledge on the subject increases day by day. Longer the time taken to complete your PhD, higher would be its degree of perfectness.

6) The drawbacks and shortcomings of your research is your fault. But the credits if any, shall be shared.

7) Never compare yourself with your batch mates who dont have a PhD, but still earn more. Because nobody compelled you to join PhD

8) Never complain about the time taken to submit a thesis. Your duty is only to prepare the thesis.

9) Patience is an essential quality required for a researcher. But if you become a mental patient after waiting for long, then it is nobody's fault.

10) Researcher proposes and supervisor disposes.
