Well 

I guess that's the way it used to be...

Now any tom - dick - harry who can put two words together on a subject
calls him/herself an professor... well how else can one explain the
mushrooming coaching classes business...

Lecturers, Normally Seniors who take pity on you and help you out with
old notes...

Readers, Really old staffers in the college, who do know all the answers
to all the questions, and will hold you till you are satisfied your
quest of knowledge, they are normally found in Libraries, or around an
discussion at an seminar

Professors, well if they are worth their salt, they are not in India...

Am still an student like Azim, if he was the youngest in Nukkad then I
was second youngest, now since he is no more the youngest, I guess my
age is catching up with me...

I was always baffled by the designations in a 
university faculty, l particularly that of reader. Then i was 
told:

LECTURER [Juniormost level]---He lectures to others

READER [middle level]--- He reads and increases the depth of his 
knowledge. [Hidden meaning--Those who read and know less speak and 
lecture more. the more we read, the less we lecture].

PROFESSOR [Highest level]--- He has reached a stage where he is 
epitome of knowledge. He does not lecture, nor does he have to 
read as the main task. he has digested and internalized knowledge 
and using this knowledge, he professes his thoughts.

My sincere advice is that since you are at stage one, you might 
try to ascend and do a bit more of serious reading. you will note 
the difference in your responses yourself.
