1guess what sanchit , even geniuses suffer depreesion and humiliation , u were surprised what he did in his 8-9 years after Msc, he went in depression after he was ridiculed by his fellow students .......here is an excerpt from wikipedia ..........
"
He received wide public attention in 2001, when he was shortlisted by the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST) to participate in a Nobel laureates conference in Germany. Later, the DST officials claimed that it was a mistake to shortlist him, and that he was a "fake prodigy". Tulsi alleges that some students who accompanied him to Germany asked him to prove his brilliance, but he refused to share his research as it was incomplete. This resulted in him being labeled a "fraud", whose father had forced him to mug up physics without any actual understanding. Following the controversy, Tulsi suffered from depression, which according to him, cost him a Ph.D. seat at IIT. He decided to "fight back" by earning a Ph.D. and gaining recognition as a scientist
