<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Sorry about the above comment.</p>
<p>When I began writing it, it was meant to be something like a piece of random slapstick or dark humour sort of a thingie. But a poor writer that I am, it didn't turn out that way---at all. In any case, it doesn't convey my positions or sentiments right. If anything, it actually generates a contrary impression. ... Worse, I wrote this sort of a thing in connection with the tall personality of mechanics, viz., Prof. Timoshenko.</p>
<p>If possible, I would request the administrators to delete both the above and this comment. If not, may the reader note that it (really) was what turned out to be a decidedly failed attempt at creating humour, and that I apologize if I hurt anyone's sentiments. The reader may, accordingly, forgive me.</p>
<p>Sheepishly (and sincerely),</p>
<p>--Ajit</p>

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>"<span>They must have received a Ph.D. prior to the start of the appointment, but not before 2016."</span></p>
<p><span>It reduces the Scholarship to mere <em>very</em> young PhD graduates, and that too, mostly, from areas such as bio-mechanics (esp. if the applications are received from candidates who have declared themselves to be females---Stanford <em>is</em> in California, which is in America (i.e. USA), remember?). </span></p>
<p><span>On either count, may be, someone (<em>really</em> talented on either count) from <em>China/USA</em> fills the slot???</span></p>
<p><span>But what <em>better</em> can you at all expect from Stanford, anyway? </span></p>
<p><span><em>They</em> [the SF Bay Area People] just repeat someone else's work but in more respectable terms, or, they are found to be [very] busy passing off lesser-than-original work as if it were of the very first rate kind. </span></p>
<p><span>Fits both the biggies <em>in the area</em>: the "Junior," and, of course, not to mention it, the "Senior" (viz. the Berkeley), of course! </span></p>
<p><span>That's my honest impression. And, as they are wont to say it in California: "Your mileage may vary."</span></p>
<p><span>Sincerely, and with very best wishes, whether of or off of seasons, (even also to SF Bay Areans),</span></p>
