Abhijit Naskar
“I built my first circuit board, when I was eleven, without all the fancy resources available to the children in the west. But anybody can build a circuit, that's no biggie. Build a circuit that empowers a society - that my friend, is called humanitarian technology. And that’s the kind of technology this world desperately needs.”
Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Nuts and bolts are our greatest defense against unforeseen terrors of nature, on earth and beyond.”
