Well, I believe that working with a successful person, it offers you a lot of opportunities as one can learn not only from their success but from the failures too. So I think that it is a privilege for anyone to work with such persons. So I had this opportunity too. So two years back when I joined my MSc program, then an advisor was allotted to me. So first thing, the HOD, he told us to do the research on the topic which we want to do research on. And it was really a tedious task for me and I was not able to look and decide on what insect should I conduct my research. So I go to my advisor and ask his help. So I remember that he offered a helping hand and he proposed a title to me that disruptive effect of insecticides on green lace ring. And moreover, last year when I did the experiment and my results didn’t come, so I was really shattered and he offered a helping hand and he suggested me to redo the experiment by diet contamination method by studying the research papers and taking advice from his fellow teachers too. And this time to my surprise, the results came out and moreover during the period when I had to apply stats to my data. So it was really a hectic and tedious task and mostly it was my first time I didn’t know how to proceed with all these things. So he really helped me with that process too. So I think that he is not only my professor but a guide and mentor too. Despite reaching the pinnacle of his career, he is really grounded and down to earth and he has really treated me like his own children and I am really glad to have a degree.

Well, I believe that working with a successful person offers you a lot of opportunities, as one can learn not only from their success but from their failures too. I think it is a privilege for anyone to work with such individuals. I had this opportunity as well. Two years ago, when I joined my MSc program, an advisor was assigned to me. The first thing the HOD told us was to research the topic we wanted to focus on. It was a tedious task for me, and I struggled to decide on which insect I should conduct my research. So, I went to my advisor and asked for his help. I remember that he offered a helping hand and proposed a title to me: the disruptive effect of insecticides on green lacewings. Moreover, last year, when I conducted the experiment and my results didn't come out as expected, I was really shattered. He offered his support again and suggested that I redo the experiment using the diet contamination method, studying research papers, and taking advice from his fellow teachers as well. To my surprise, this time the results came out well. Additionally, during the period when I had to apply statistics to my data, it was a hectic and tedious task. Since it was my first time, I didn't know how to proceed with all these things. He really helped me with that process too. I think he is not only my professor but also a guide and mentor. Despite reaching the pinnacle of his career, he remains grounded and down to earth. He has treated me like one of his own children, and I am really glad to have earned my degree.
