    So finally I presented the index I have been working on for almost two years in front of quite distinguished audience and got mixed reaction. But I am happy as most of the comments were not at all disturbing considering that those are the very common criticism against any index. These criticism were primarily based on the selection or omission of certain indicators. Though every researcher loves to have all the comprehensive indicators to capture an aspect/dimension, they are handicapped by poor availability of data or poor quality of data. 
    My work on methodology went unscathed as there were no comments on it, this is a big relief as all other comments do not make much sense apart from showcasing individual bias and poor knowledge of indian data situation and limitations of any primary data based study. It was a great feeling to successfully defend the work and get praise from members of audience. Ten years back I would have not dared to accost people that came to congratulate me today. Time changes very fast and unexpected things happen. 
    Now since I am done with this work, I have taken a week off to focus on my GRE and other personal stuff. Want to read some books, watch movies, workout and lose some weight.
