1983 World cup heroes me too - for few

It just reminds me of an incident during May 83.
It was the day of Cricket World cup Finals.
I was in Hyderabad in my brother's house.
On that day morning our TV failed.
Few families (mind you there were couple of beautiful young girls) in the neighbourhood, were dependent on this TV set for watching the grand Finale.

Focus shifted on me.

After all I have completed 4 years (of 5 years) in Electronics & Communication Engineering and supposed to know 80% of everything electronics ( TV radio...) So I am supposed to service and make TV set good. (I could not say TV is not my elective subject ) So I did what best I could think of under the given circumstance.
I demanded for a screw driver opened the cover of TV set and cleared all the dust inside. I put the cover back and switched the set 'ON'
Bravo! It started working normally.
None of them believed that I have not done anything.
They thought that I had actually serviced (& trying to be modest).
Any way we enjoyed the Indian victory thoroughly .

One question - unfogettable

Sometimes one question can transform you into an expert in perception, though in reality may not necessarily be true.

It happened to me in my college days.

There was one question I asked during a seminar in our college which fetched me a title of 'Quantem Mechanics' expert. In reality,..........

Topic of the seminar was: Molecular computers

Question I had asked was : Approaching molecular dimensions, is it not true that Heiseneberg's Uncertainty principle comes into the picture leading to statistical decision errors?

Let there be light

'Let there be light'
Besides being a biblical citation, it was the implication of Charles A Kao and A G Kockham when they presented the mathematical basis for fiber optic communication in the year 1960..

This was my opening statement in my first ever intercollegiate seminar on ' The challenge of the optical systems' presented at CIT coimbatore in Feb'84.

PS Kao won Nobel Prize in 2009
