PhD: Be the best out there..

Here I announce my new blog, focusing PhD students. I believe it is going to help most them. This is not only blog for advising PhD (Graduate) students but also my personal experience as one of the fastest PhD recipient in my University.

In 2006 I have been award as "IBM outstanding PhD student" and won the student body elections in 2007. I was invited to give a talk at directors dinner for graduating students. I was involved in the development of smart campus project at my university with Intel and IBM. Most importantly I was moderator of social group to help Poor and unprivileged school village students. Apart from all these I was regular to sports and was an active member of Himalayan Explorer club. Participated in 180 KM cycling expedition and many more..

I had best time at university and consider that I gave me everything and most importantly it made me more confidant to take up almost any kind of challenge in life. But every PhD student dont have same story to share. I have a bunch of PhD friends who joined with me and still are there and struggling. Few dropped out and few are fighting for it.

As a friend to many PhD students I learned from situation and planned my life accordingly to fetch the best available to me. I want to share this with all my friends, specially my brother who is in third year of his PhD, and friend who is just starting :)

Inspire and ignite: inspiration for generation

Inspire 'n' Ignite, this is my first company. A one man show :)

As a research student I used constantly go the comfortable zones, which is really dangerous for anyone specially for PhD student. Everything depends on self motivation and working with self interest. Most of the PhD students go comfort zones and takes years to come back. Usually they realize this when they get a notice either for scholarship cut or notice for leaving the university dorm ;)

A PhD student with ambition of fetching everything in three years including course work need to be extra motivated. This was really needed to push oneself hard and focused. This need a certain method that keeps one motivating and focused.

A student may think that company will be pushing and motivating me at projects and deadlines. Yes, till some extent it is true, but every dead line and new projects are in favor of the company and if one think himself as a company then again he feels demotivated. As company pay you for meeting deadlines and new projects usually one keep moving for the companies benefit in turn for us too but unknowingly give up our goals.

To gain a higher success and living a high contributing life needs extra motivation, determination, sacrifice and more importantly few great examples. Keeping all these in view we decided to start my new website www.inspirenignite.com .

On this dedicated blog we will be concentrating on really inspiring stuff as below...

1. Biographies of inspiring personalities
2. Lectures and Talks
3. Interviews
4. Book reviews
5. Quotes
6. Stories of some great companies and
7. Self organization section ('Lets be organized')


For me the audience are first myself and my immediate family member, as for most us the background and conditions are similar and these tip may be used to give a great contribution to world and make a great society.

Everyone need not to agree with the points i will add in this :) but we are open to ideas and criticisms from the reader. So please feel free to make a comment on the blog :)
