“Most people repay small favours, acknowledge medium ones, and repay greater ones - with ingratitude”. These are the words of wisdom by the 18th-century scientist and statesman Benjamin Franklin. The world owes gratitude for his scientific inventions and observations, including the adventurous kite experiment that he conducted with the natural phenomenon of thunderbolt through which he verified the nature of electricity in lightning that finally led to lighting of our homes and the other miraculous uses and boons of electric power thus brought under man’s control.
