Welcome to my blogs where I share my academic adventures. Deciding to leave IT industry after 5 years and introducing myself to the taste of research was a challenging yet rewarding task. I had to unlearn everything in order to learn new things. First two years of my PhD journey had been successful in terms of teaching me the value of quality questions, conducting systematic research, and paying attention to academic ethics and integrity. This blog is a medium for me to jot down these lessons for myself and for others to take notes from if they find it relevant. Being a computer science major in the past, my motive of writing these blogs is to provide you with an outsider's perspective on communication research with the hope that you will find it relevant.
