I don't hate Northerners! My mom was one!! I just don't like mediocrity!!

If you were a lecturer, you would be a sadist. So a person that has a Phd must have to wait for 10 yrs before he can be an HOD? Its people like you that do say ' because I had a B in this course during my undergraduate days, no student can ever have an A'.

You are the sadist! I never mentioned a time bracket! But I know enough about the academia and management to know about "curing"! One needs to have requisite experience before moving up the rung! I won't argue with you again! I see you're a "know-it-all"!!

Sir your method of reasoning is backward.
