Giving talks to our research group always looked a piece of cake to me. Now it is getting tougher. The manner in which I present has changed significantly, and consequently the manner in which my professor responds has changed a lot too. Earlier my presentations used to be bare results on the current work, hinting to something, pointing to a possible new direction. Now in my slides I try to explain a physical phenomenon or some previous experimental work, using my simulation results. And when I do it, I get a taste of acuteness my professor. The entire discussion becomes challenging, and sometimes I get to know that some of the work I have done has no physical significance at all. That still hurts, even though I have seen this now many times in the past 2 years.
