Oh, is that so?

My class-mates (and even people younger to me) have already become Full Professors. At highly ranked universities in USA or in IITs/IISc. I suppose I do have knowledge and expertise. See: http://www.JadhavResearch.info. Please note, some of the achievements have *not* been mentioned on the Web site.

But, I am not applying.

I *am* a good learner.

Explanatory Addendum (July 21, 2007--I have noticed that not even timestamps remain the same here!): After years of disbelieving people who reported otherwise, finally, I too have given up my belief in (an objective idea of) justice as the dominant idea or the prevalent condition in the West. I have begun to see how, in the West today (practically speaking, as far as I go, in USA, UK, may be Canada), how easy it has become for incompetents to so easily put up obstacle after another obstacle in the path of a competent. I can see, if my experience with (at least some of the) iMechanica moderators is anything to go by, how easy it would be for someone to make it impossible to perform my job without either having to make a fool of myself or having to make a show of it all... (The issue applies to MNC's or their major Indian contractors in Pune too--as also to other Indian employers following the same kind of games under the name of "ethics".) May one of the moderators (or one of their favorites having a "PhD"--whatever that means!) well fit into this job! By posting this, I have the satisfaction of exposure--in case anyone in the larger world out there still cares!! Or, even if not, if that is the illusion the decision makers in the world at large believe in!! Though I took long, finally, I did learn my lesson of what people--including the decision makers--in the West really mean--that's what I meant when I said I am a good learner. (I am sure the context made it absolutely clear to many regular readers of iMechanica.)
