Bhabha�s life is an example of pursuing individual passion with a national perspective and purpose. If he chose, he could have gone abroad after the second world war and pursued his scientific research and perhaps, could have even won Noble prize in physics. But, he chose to stay back to serve the country. He channelized all his scientific pursuits to develop scientific institutes with an aim to serve the society. He blended his individual vision and passion with that of the Country. Today, we have world class institutes and the Departments like Atomic Energy and Space, thanks to Bhabha�s foresight and vision. Thus, his life message to all of us is � do pursue the passion of your life but with a vector or direction of serving the country and making it proud with your contributions�
