Unanswerable question #2

"So when are you finishing your PhD?"

Seriously, it is a very painful question. Do people asking this question realize what a big chaos a PhD really is? Its as if, you are blindfolded in the darkest room and you need to find the door of that room. No matter how bright you are, you still can't SEE. When will you find that door, that is, given you will find that door, is impossible to tell. And it has an added difficulty that if someone else in the same room found the door first, you have to start in some other dark room, ALL OVER AGAIN.

Some day, may be, this chaos will make sense. It doesn't right now. And the day it starts making sense, I will tell you my graduation date. Now, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

2. No, my advisor didn't ask this question. Just some old, long lost friend suddenly decided to remember me and ask this question (add 'stupid' to the list of adjectives before friend). Hence starting the avalanche you are in.
