It was on 22nd October, 1879 i.e. around 135 years ago that the great scientist Thomas Alva Edison had invented the light bulb. My heart goes out to salute him simply for conceiving the idea that something can light up too. However, more than the idea, I would like to salute his determination to invent the bulb. As soon as, the idea of inventing the light bulb surfaced in his mind, he entered the laboratory along with his team. And you will not believe, the most essential element, the carbon filament that he was searching for, was discovered after unsuccessfully experimenting with over 6000 various filaments and that too, after continually spending 27 days experimenting in the laboratory... During this period, neither did his enthusiasm abate nor did his confidence shake. And 27 days of concentrated efforts and experiments, finally led to the illumination of the light bulb.
