I am not someone who normally goes around expressing pride in public... but this time I take an exception and would like to share with the community the news that I have successfully defended my doctoral dissertation in Atmospheric Sciences at MIT titled, "The Diurnal Cycle of Air Pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal". Through intensive field measurements in Nepal and three-dimensional computer simulations, I have come to learn some really interesting things about the processes that control the accumulation and ventilation of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley. I hope to share these with policymakers, the Kathmandu public, and in sajha very soon.

I would like to thank all of you, friends and well wishers in sajha, who have provided me with companionship, humor and thought provoking discussions over the years. And I would also like to announce that I am emerging from the self-imposed hibernation and after some rest will be returning to active participation in the forum here.

Arnico.

Arnico,
Congrats. Indeed a much deserved one at that. We are proud of you.
Now, what next? Have you taken a job already? Where and when are you starting? Let's hear that, too. Or can we?

Arnico,

Great news.
Congratulations!

And I wish you all the best in times ahead.

As you well know, ever since I met you in Kathmandu in 1992, I have been telling
people (much to your occasional embarrasment and bewilderment . . . I know, I
know) that you are one the TWO most intelligent Nepalis I have ever met in my
entire life.

And I am not someone who goes around doling out compliments just like that.

[The other Nepali friend, in case anyone's curious, is a medical doctor, and lives
and works in California, and used to visit Sajha].

This is also a time for me to THANK YOU, Arnico, for all your sincere, honest and calm yet no-nonsense and straightforward advice and suggestions to me about many
things over the years.

You are a jewel of a person, Arnico, and you deserve to do really, really well in everything that you are interested.

All the best.

oohi
ashu

Hey Arnico, Congratulations bro.
Now you too owe me a beer. (Or is it going to be other way around?). :P

Congratulations.

Can't wait to see you actively participating in Sajha.

Arnico,

Congratulations ! It was great knowing you through sajha. You're a wonderful person.

Best Wishes,

Can we read your Thesis then? Coz we do not know what kind of studies/research/modeling you did... it seems you are bragging here.. but let us read your thesis, and we will have time to appreciate your great work.

Please put your thesis in pdf or something at some site, or upload somewhere, so that we can download.
