Google bought Motorola. A heap of patents (24,500; can you imagine?) thus got the search-engine giant's stamp.
Nineteenth century was a century of needs. Twentieth century was a century of physical-revolution. And, the twenty-first century is a century of research and development.
I had earlier blogged about getting a Ph.D. degree. The objectives may be any-many but point remains the same. A Ph.D. person is capable of thinking what 90% can't think and a Ph.D. person is able to DO what 98% of people can't even think of. For, you may compare it with a plumber (read the blog, If Einstein were a Plumber here) or may complain about the researcher's status in India, the fact remains that a researcher is a researcher by choice, not by chance.
If you have chosen the path, its time to excel in it. Isn't it true that we preach people to do their work sincerely? Do we not blame school, college, society, government and a few more agencies for not doing a thing or other on time and in a manner they should? If the answer of any of the above two questions, first, the individual blaming and second, blaming a group, is yes, then:
“It is THE time to soliloquize”.
Being researcher is a step before what India is most deprived of: an inventor. Ask yourself, if you really have an unshakable thought of being an "Inventor".
