What do you think research is all about??

Does that sound familiar? I am sure all the students of MA PR, Mumbai University Kalina know what I am talking about. To start with according to me I feel research is a subject which is tooo critical and detail and to come to think of it research is a detailed study of a particular topic where you get down to the Nitti gritty of a particular subject.

This is exactly what we are doing and will have to do a larger scale for our dissertation a thesis of about 20,000 words can you imagine? It is giving me jitters as I write about it, I am sure you can imagine what it is like in practical when I say research. I am sure a lot of people would disagree with me and at the same time most of them would agree with me especially students of MA PR Mumbai University, Kalina that it can be a nightmare.  The researcher needs to put in a lot of patience and efforts in completing a research and coming up with conclusions that will be useful and credible for future reference. Every researcher has a different point of and the same topic can be looked upon in 100 different ways because it completely depends on the findings and perceptions of a researcher. No research has a life time validity because time changes, people change and with that come change in perceptions and thinking. Every researcher has a reason of their own in order to prove their research right. The findings of two people of the same topic need not be the same it can be completely the opposite.

It is very important for a researcher to choose their research topics very carefully keeping in mind the do ability of the research it need not be something that you think might change the world especially if you are a beginner because if you do so there are wild chances of you falling flat on your face. There are so many things that one needs to keep in mind as a researcher especially if you choose a sensitive topic, a researcher must make sure that he/she does not hurt anyone’s feelings and keep the researched identity as a secret if they don’t wish to disclose, a researcher must respect their privacy and make sure that they don’t intrude any individual’s space. At the end of the day research is your baby, you can shape it or mold it the way you want to this is what I have realized being a MA PR, Mumbai University Kalina campus student.
