Am i a scientist???

i had this bloody bully today when i said i am researching  as  "you are just joining the college!!".

yes, of course i swear in low tune .

the deal is i am well aware that many PhD holders never make sense and even that it would be very easy to fake such degree in India.Moreover what is the criteria that defines "searching" and "researching", of course it would not vary with the intellect of the person, may be the purpose.

it can be wrongly understood that researching will just mean some stuff that will fit at a thesis paper,or any academic material.So in case i "look around " for information to make money in share market ,it eventually falls under FINANCE but i may not intend it to a scholastic material but would rather prefer to have it all for myself or blog in "non-academic" English. Wasn't i researching in that case <with the assumption that i have no intent to teach or to write a 700-page book on it >

the answer is of course yes , because  it is relative, and it's a matter of fact that people do when others do different stuff.They would most possible be hand-locked slaves rather than free-souls .
My honest message to everybody who "research" stuff is "YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT"no matter your professor or whosoever doesn't get what you do , after all they are meant to be so.
  

my  friends , let's be great econometricians and grow together intellectually  , because you should 

I beg your pardon if you consider this to be eccentric , i thought of writing something that geeks like us met up with  in common ,i will be back soon with more "REAL" Econometrics , super-soon.
