The Doctor’s in the Hizaus!
For those who have not yet been informed by phone, e-mail or Facebook status message… I passed my PhD viva today, alhamdulillah!
This is how I feel:
(that, and extremely tired in a craving-the-sofa-with-some-good-chocolate-and-no-brain-TV-to-numb-my-mind, kinda way!)


MABROOK!
Wish you all the luck in both worlds.xxx

Congratulations, Doctor! Now you just need to pick a name to append to Doctor that will make clear your intentions (world domination?) or your schtick (blogging?). Dr. Strange, Dr. Evil, Dr. Doom, Dr. X, Dr. Love, Dr. Tax, Dr. Video, Dr. Octopus, Dr. Death, Dr. Destiny, and Dr. Victor Fries (a.k.a. Mr. Freeze) . You have joined an elite league of villains, my friend.

Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah everyone
Jazakallah for your messages. It is indeed time to party!
Shan, I appreciate the advice, but I was planning on following a less ‘evil’ route to World Domination. So, how about: Dr Fluffy Kittens?
Btw, I am not officially a “Dr” until I submit the final copy of my thesis, and my College gives approval… it might take a few months! Not that I’m bothered… all I know is: I passed, alhamdulillah!!!! (yes, the multiple exclamation marks are totally appropriate!)
gess, a viva is the thesis defense… in my case, a 2.5 hour aural examination of my thesis. Yey! Actually, it wasn’t so bad, masha’Allah. I’ve heard of vivas that lasted for five hours! :/

Hm. Not exactly my taste, but it could work. We’ll have to check with Dr. Claw to see if he considers that infringement.

Congrats once again, sister!
On another note, I just visited the site md.’s linked above and I think his comment/link should be deleted. The site’s name is highly misleading, for it is clearly a site against Islam and everything we hold sacred to us ):

As someone who is InshaAllah going to start PhD studies soon in chemistry, can you offer a few words of advice on what I should expect? Also, can you offer some advice on how to maintain and enrich an islamic identity through the process?
