We Will Miss You Michael!

Michael Crichton, the author of the best selling thrillers like Jurassic Park and Andromeda Strain is no more. He was the one, who breathed life into something that we believed had gone forever. Michael created a world where life from a long forgotten past walks with the present. Thanks to Steven Spielberg, who made it on the big screen and we saw T-Rex walking on the street, very much alive and not just a pile of bone and rock.

As a teacher of anthropology, Michael believed that man should never play God and that everything has its space and time which must not be violated. He believed that nothing is gone forever, but if it is gone, maybe it is for a greater good.

As he is no more, I say, we will miss you Michael, but your vision will stay with us and will inspire us to think big and to believe that nothing is impossible.
