Big problem Quote by Abhijit Naskar
““What is Science, What is Holy (Sonnet) There is no greater spiritual journey than the rejection of prejudice, there is no greater meditation than self-imposed scrutiny. Bringing a candle to a neighbor's home who had their power cut off, is far holier than lighting a thousand candles in the church. If you bring electricity to a marginalized community with a simple solar power kit, it's a far greater scientific achievement than the gargantuan glories of the LHC. There is no greater scientific achievement than simple science solving big problems. There is no greater holiness than trading in the bible for a simple act of kindness.””
