Shyam(84) Re: MD theses sans acknowledgements Kishore, its quite obvious that there will be some nice guides and some " not so " nice guides. And in the true to life example that you have mentioned, rather monstrous guides. I remember one of the Jaspal Bhatti serials, wherein the relationship between a guide and his student(s) has been highlighted, the poor students are made to get the daily grocery by rotation and other such chores. And in real life, here itself in Jabalpur there is one Prof. and HOD who has her PG students assigned to pay her monthly telephone bills, mobile bills, electricity bills etc... :-D and to top it all, everyone knows it :-D Now, moving back to my thesis and my guide Prof. Yogesh Arora. He did more for me than I did for him. Since we were the first ophthalmologists out during those times, he had explained everything to us, as to how his (personal) copy of the thesis had to be presented along with the departmental copy, each with a nice pen :-) Sewagram had not seen pens then, but I did take the pain to go to Mumbai and get a pair of Cross pens which I presented with the thesis.
