Re: (GRE Success! ) Completed PhD (finally!!!)

Hi Harsha
         Thanks for your wishes. It is indeed a great feeling to be done with my defense. However, the path itself was not easy. I shall write a post on my PhD experience later on. I am trying to be a little unconventional and apply to academic positions in India without postdoctoral training. Lets see how it pans out. 

Peace!
