That is the overt part of my genes. But what were the hidden traits? I can only guess. It all dates back to preschool era. I had seen the Sputnik in the sky. I have heard about the Lyka the bitch who was sent to the space and died in the process. The nineteen fifties were full of science fiction. Strangely enough I only heard about Sir, Arther C Clark very late in my life and read only a few of his books but was more than interested in Scientific American, even in my advanced level stage and in first few years of my career in the university.
