So far, I have 2 research partners on RG. One is a young lady; she is a RARE COIN.
The other is an established researcher, a very responsible person. He is another RARE COIN.
In my college, 2 persons collaborated with me on a paper. They are both young men, recently graduated from Imperial College, UK. They are VALUABLE COINS, because they are willing to help in various ways. Besides they live just one floor above my apartment in college. (But all these people are valuable than GOLD, because they live and breathe, and care about me.)
Prof Abhijit, my email was not delivered at your hotmail address at all. I wonder why?
@Subhash,one of my friends had a supervisor from university Malaya, the most established university in my country. When the supervisor retired, she asked that her post be passed on to my friend. And she was employed by the varsity. But the rest of us were not so fortunate, and continued in our posts, even with a PhD, and didn't even get a pay rise. (But at least we had a job, and didn't have to move to UK, as my cousins did.)
Alma Dzib Goodin,Dolores Luna Hogan,my colleagues,my students,my sons,my administration who participated in my projects and helped me to win and inspired me to write,to create,to research,to learn and the peers and public,who applauded and supported me are diamonds. In my turn,I tried to support,encourage and inspire all creative and thinking personalities.Those,who used to humiliate have never created anything valuable for people.
