My Ph.D. Journey..... Up, Down & then Up.

 MY FIRST BLOG...

We all have heard about the term Doctor abbreviated as (Dr.) - now it depends on what we choose- an academic doctor or a medical doctor. I selected former one and started my doctorate journey.

A Ph.D. journey is never easy, and it becomes even more difficult when you are doing it alongside a full-fledge business start-up in Chandigarh. But, there are many factors that helped me sail through in this journey.


 The first factor was my Ph.D Mentor (Dr. Balraj), Guide (Dr. Rajesh & Dr. Shashi) & support from entire research department of Chitkara University. Special thanks to Dr. Amit Mittal (Pro.Vice Chancellor, Research) for believing in me. In this journey, I have had so much to learn from mentor & guide, not just the technical paths, but most importantly the academic life lessons. I feel grateful & extremely privileged to have such a nice and dedicated team.

 The Second factor that helped me immensely is the wonderful support I got from my family. My son, born during the midst of my Ph.D. journey, would always help in easing the pressure & stress with his innocence.


 Coming back to my Ph.D. journey....

 

During my journey, I met my first guide Dr. Rajesh in 2016, worked with him for almost 4 years suddenly got a call from guide that he got a government job in Shimla University. Then I was introduced to Dr. Shashi my second guide, who guided me for 3 months then he got a job in IIM K. At that time i pray to god to give me stable guide who can guide till i reach my destination. Finally, I was introduced with Dr. Balraj , who was my guide & mentor who helped me a lot & made it possible till end.

 

Thus, I started my Ph.D journey in 2015-2016; I was happy & at the same time worried, because I was going back to the classroom as a student after a long time. It was 2015-2016, when I started my Ph.D., my new start-up business & lost my father in the same year at that time I found very difficult to handle everything. I still remember my father wordings in 2015, when i got enrolled for my Ph.D. he said TU KAR LEGA NA then he pause for 5 minutes & told I know TU KAR LEGA but meri eyes NHI DEKH PAYEGI, within 15 days from enrollment I lost my Father. I know you are always there with me in the form of blessings. PAPA APKA AMAN DOCTOR BAN GAYA..... YEH DEGREE PAPA APKE NAAM........Always miss you PAPA.

 

Finally, long journey coming to be end after facing many up & downs but almighty has given the rewards. It took me around 6.5 years to hold the highest level of degree in my hand.
