Process of Research

As I sat in front of my computer, writing about problems and their solutions, so that I can put them in one piece. So, I started formulating them properly or at least technically sound, in order to directly copy and paste things into my thesis, when fortunate time comes. I realized that these were the same problems that I was hanging onto for months, but a simple process like formulation will help me in getting new ideas to the problem. It is not that, these ideas were not there, they were just floating around, but till now, I didn't realize that the bait will be writing.

The problem with formulation is that, it is not that simple. Say, I wrote this line
and hence, memory alignment if done carefully will increase the margin of speed-up
Now just after this, out of nowhere, I subconsciously wrote
Robb Stark  [from recent GOT episode]

The point is, it requires all space of your mind, and you ought to think while fight with yourself to stay on the problem. It is an interesting feeling.
Another thing is that you have to keep reviewing it again and again, because most of the time, some parts of it are ambiguous, or inconsistent. And may be that's why writing a good research paper is hard, as we don't practice the problem formulation that much.
I'm having hard time now, about thinking whether I've written clearly about the formulation, I'm so hyped about. And that's why I'm publishing this blog post to be reviewed by peers, because sometimes even your best is not enough.
I said a lot, but I think, when I put research in this way, along with new solutions, new problems are also popping up, and really what's boiling is research in my blood.
