Romance of Innovation (Updated) I came back to rural town Phaltan from U.S.A. in 1981 after getting a Ph.D. and spending a few years teaching renewable energy at University of Florida, USA. In late 1981 when I returned, very few Indians with an IIT degree came back. Even the ones who did come back went to big cities like Bombay, Delhi, Bangalore, etc. I went straight to rural Maharashtra which was as alien to me as any foreign country since I hardly knew the local language or the milieu. https://www.boloji.com/articles/55245/romance-of-innovation-updated
