First two days of a Publically Humiliated Dog

Day 1

I walk into my PI's office room.
He says " Achuth,I am delieghted to have you..welcome."
And am like..."eeeeeeeeeeeee" .
He : " Well what made you choose my lab for PhD? "
Me : "errrrrrrrr....did you say something? "

Day 2

After much struggle I find a place for myself in the lab which is little short of room to accomodate 8 grad students, 1 post doc, 1 technician and 2 undergrads. As I begin to ease myself on my chair he stops by my bench..

He : " hey, how you doing? "
Me : " Good ( ...rather was good till this point )"
He : "I want you to think of an hypothesis that would be worth chasing for a PhD degree?"
Me : " ...@#$ ???? ( thats not a good joke to start the day with !)"
He (continues) : I want you to think as to how you can connect what you did earlier with the lab's central focus .
Me : :-0 !!!
He: So I want you to do some homework...
Me : Does it have to be related to the lab's central theme???
He : It can be something else too as long as you have a reason to convince me why we should do that !
Me : :-0 !!!!!

Never knew hypothesizing is this difficult. I claim am a thinker !
