(An Incomplete Musing) On Research

Passion to learn,
Patience to think,

Shamelessness to ask,
Willingness to answer,

Eagerness to know,
Determination to pursue,

Strength to withstand,
Willpower to overcome,

Depth to demonstrate,
Broadness to offer,

Lucidity to explain,
Brilliance to breakthrough,

Command to lead,
Diplomacy to get along,

Thus my friend, this method
Needs a thousand of skills.

  2. Hi Kushal,

    When you comment on this, it becomes more meaningful. You know why? Because,

    "To bathe in the sea,
    one needs experience;
    The experience of
    dying in the sea."
    --Sachidanandan (A Malayalam Poet; I forgot the source of the quote).

    Got it? The above translation is mine, so does it look bad.
