CNR Rao on nanotech in India

http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=346054 India cannot afford to miss revolution in nanotechnology: Rao
More Drama !! Yes-No-Yes-No ???? Finally it lased ? Well, at first it was the problem with the microscope. That fixed it was with the wrong path settings in the matlab program. That also fixed, the issue was with some data buffering up when the matlab program exits without closing the instruments ..... All fixed, it finally gave the beautiful lasing L-I curve.. Hopefully I have maintained my high yield :-) .. So without all the uncertainty, whats the joy in the final result ?! The saying goes that in the fabrication world, if you estimated n days to complete a work, be prepared for atleast 2n days !! In the measurement world, shall I say 3n days ? .. No no, I am just getting better at this, so shud I believe (after all, I did the LASER5 in about 10 days, never mind the nite outs, when even Chris says it would take 'im 2 weeks if he slogs like crazy).. and today when I learned much about that box-car inetgrator ... why on earth do they call it so
