during last week, i met so many creative people whose creativity, almost neglected by indians makes me feel sad and angry, but also hopeful. Things will CHANGE.
LET ME BEGIN WITH THE LATEST CASE OF JUSTICE DENIED, THis TIMe BY a reputed magazine National Geographic,

HE INVENTED AND FILED A PATENT IN 1982 FOR SELF ADJUSTED GLASSES WHICH INVENTORS MENTIONED BELOW REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE UNFORTUNATELY, DESPITE THEIR SO CALLE D NOBLE INTENTIONS.
More than a billion people in the developing world need glasses. But opticians aren’t exactly on every block in sub-Saharan Africa. In some places the ratio is one to one million residents. Pondering this problem, Oxford University physics professor Joshua Silver came up with a brilliantly simple solution: a pair of eyeglasses, currently costing about $19, that the wearer can adjust. Silicone oil is injected into a gap between two sheets of plastic until the lens provides sharp vision. The inventor’s field research shows the correction can be better than that of prefab glasses sold at a store.
