Hey guys, a very close friend of mine from IITD just became got his doctorate with P.H.D in maths (u gotto be crazy to do that! ) from rutgers New Jersey. Has sent this poem. really hilarious. thought i'd share with you guys  cheers ~admin When I Was A Math Student (To the tune of ``When I was a lad'' from The H. M. S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan.)
When I was a math student up at Yale,
I soon found out that I could never fail;
For they always think that you understand
If you show enough conviction when you wave your hands.
I waved my hands so confidently,
That I'm now the proud possessor of a Ph.D.
In orals they make every question get tougher,
Till they prove you're so stupid that you really suffer.
To show that you're dumb is their only aim,
But I knew I was stupid long before I came.
I knew I was so dumb, they could be nice to me,
So I'm now the proud possessor of a Ph.D.
And after orals one just disappears
For the better part of two or three years.
If you're not there, they can't see your mistakes,
So you just take twenty-week Christmas breaks.
And they're happy if you just come to tea,
And you'll be the proud possessor of a Ph.D.
At last they subtly gave me the hint
That I had better get my work into print.
They said, ``You can publish wherever you choose,''
So I published in the Albany News.
They said, ``You've proven you ability,''
So I'm now the proud possessor of a Ph.D.
Now math students all, whoever you may be,
If you want to get yourself a nice degree;
If you only write gibberish, that's okay!
`Cause no one really reads those journals anyway.
Just write so obscurely, they can't disagree,
And you'll be the proud possessor of a Ph.D.

you have to be really in love with the subject to do this.... almost a romeo-juliet thing with mathematics... my relation with pure maths was more on the "beauty an the beast side"... me being the beauty of-course  ~admin
