One of the most disappointing days of my life.....Godrej U Sonic ....

In the year 2006 I worked on a project in which I created a machine which used extremely low amount of detergent to clean clothes. The machine worked on Ultrasonic Waves. Later Prof JV Rao of NITRA (Where I was doing this project) told me to discontinue this project as he could not see much scope of the work. So he asked me to submit a project report.

I was naive and hence I did as told.

Later I found out that many people have done their research on that machine after I left working on it. And they were doing their PhD under JV Rao only.
Next I found out that he was trying to sell the technology to a few washing machine companies.

And now 8 years later I saw an advertisement GODREJ U SONIC.
Exactly the same thing that I made in 2006.

I can't describe to you my disappointment, my anger, frustration......

I am feeling defeated. Lost.

Village

There was a time when i used to die to come to my village. My friends and relatives were all here. My grand parents and others were my favs.
Today as i am writing this blog i am doing so because i am not habitual of crying and the heavy heart is required to be opened up to someone.
No one is here.
My grand parents are long gone.
So are my friends. Some married off some left the village. Some have vanished into thin air.

I stood at the center of my village n found a creepy feeling creep up to me. So much has changed. Walls have come up where trees used to be there. The pond has shrunk to half its size. The age old tree giving shade to the shiva idol has been cut down to be sold in the market.

The field where we used to play hardly resembles its own self now.

This is not the village i knew and loved.

Not my village any more.
