Thanks for replying. I forwarded you email I'm sending. I sent to 10 professors and got reply from just one. I'm continuing to contact more though.

I'm 1st year student of masters in physics at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. I'm looking forward to do 2016 summer project at some top US/European university. I can fund my travel, stay & food using my savings. I just want to work with top physicists and gain good research...

And yes, thanks in advance :-)

And even if I did get a job, I'll have to live an austere frugal life. And my Indian friends with even "average" intelligence and knowledge are getting good job easily just after doing masters in computer from US university. Then why did God made way for physicists so tougher? :frown: I think my...

Okay. Thank you.
