Fate of a Researcher:


Who is a researcher?
No need to search for him as he is everywhere. You’ll find him in every walk of your life.  For example: Today you use your face book account. 2mrw when you login again, you’ll find some changes being made in your FB account. You feel relaxed and say “thanks god now I can do video calling even on FB”. How did it come from? It’s the researcher (Software) who made it easy for you. This is just an example. 
Literally the original research that is being done is useful to everyone in one or the other way. But the problem is the attitude and approach of the people towards a researcher. Many people insult saying, “what research dude”? “What is it useful for”? Those idiots’ don’t even have the right to ask such questions (Problem is that even qualified people ask such questions). We hear a lot like “How much do you earn”? Oh so less.. Ok! “How many years will it take to complete”. Oh! so many years! Ok. So after that, “what will you be doing”? So and so.. “If you won’t get it”? “I’ll be doing post doc”..  “For how many years”?  Some -- years. Oh! is it so.. After that, “What will you do next”? “Arey yaar.. Us ke baad mai kya jaanta hu”. I feel like asking them, “What will be you fate in the next minute”? “Do you know”? No one knows the answer. But many people ask hundreds of non sensical questions. 
At times I feel.. Is it the inability of the government to provide scope for a researcher or is it written in the fate of a researcher that he should suffer? The government pays the lazy officials so much and a researcher gets so less. Government pays an office boy with salary much more than a researcher. Why is this negligence? No answer. But who is the one who really works hard? It is the researcher. Because it such a position where one should use their own brain and no one can bluff and move further (some might do as everything has + ves and – ves). 
Whatever it might be I’m happy and proud to say that I’m a researcher. Because I use my own mind and I work hard to achieve my goals.
