Even after my Masters I feel like going back to the primary school because I realize that I don’t know much while I was in my primary School. We are living in an age of scientific progress. In our generation we have seen man achieve some things that our forefathers considered unworkable.

The speed at which science is progressing is continually accelerating. It has been anticipated that the entire scientific knowledge that man had acquired from the time of his creation to 1750 A.D. was doubled all of a sudden within a period of 150 years by 1900 A.D. The knowledge that was man’s by 1900 A.D. doubled again and this time in just 50 years - by 1950 A.D. This knowledge doubled again in just 10 years - by 1960. It has been estimated that man’s scientific knowledge has been doubling thereafter every two and half years. Mr. Mathew Kilanamannil my late grand Father traveled up 250 miles in His life time and he had a lot of stories to tell me about what he explored in his world. 200 years ago man traveled on horseback just like his primitive ancestors did thousands of years earlier. But by 1900, man could travel by advanced means of locomotion at about 80 kilometres per hour and this was considered a very fast speed in those days. By 1945, jet planes had come into the air and man was traveling at 1000 kmph. Today, man travels in space at over 40,000 kmph.

Even then we haven’t reached the star…..because the speed is not enough…………….. I remember one of my favorite statements from Oscar Wilde: "We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." In my own word I may say: “Everyone is in the pit but some are looking at the stars” …………….. Dream high we will reach our dream one day.
