A great thing! is there a better recognition than a "US pat" yaar?! :) In 1953, on the Silver Jubilee of the discovery of the Raman Effect, "The more I look back on my career, the more I feel that it has been a long history of frustration, disappointment, struggle and every kind of tribulation. But there have been a few gleams of success. It was poverty and the poor laboratories that gave me the determination to do the very best I could." You can add more frustration to his spirit-use your little finger! -SMG
