Hi guys, I haven't been here for quite some time. Had my viva in September 2014 but got an R n R. Due to some health issue, I was given maximum period to revise my PhD.

I will be re-submitting soon in April. I have more or less followed the examiners' recommendations. At the same time, I have recycled some stuff from my previous work. The thesis is not as thick as the one before, but I just want to get this over with.

It hasn't been easy trying to work and re-write a thesis. I had my health issues, then some money issues, and on top of that I have a family to care for. The books I wanted for reference were not available in my country !
To make it worse, I had a skin ailment to start the New Year with ( !) , but it looks like it's going to be cured soon.

To those who are re-submitting, all the best. Just keep on writing everyday. You will soon get to the finishing line .
