Tribute to Michael Crichton

It has come to pass, some of the most fascinating works of man.

Michael Crichton, who died some weeks back on Nov 4 '08, the well known author of Jurassic Park and creator of ER, was an imaginative and real genius who came up with some incredible books.

And about the same time he passed away, Japanese scientists were able to take cells from 16 year frozen mice and were able to clone them. Now they are talking of cloning a mammoth from a frozen baby mammoth found in Russia - 20,000 years old. Phew - it would be awesome to see Ice Age come alive.

Think about it, some of these discoveries were fiction years back. But the fact is that man is progressing, fiction that was fiction 20 years back is becoming a reality.

Michael Crichton will be remembered deeply for his contribution to this world, that has paved man to realize some of the awesome works of this year. I have enjoyed each and every book he has written. Even though producing dinosaurs using this method is far fetched - since there is no known frozen sample of a dinosaur; there is a hope that some day Michael Crichton's fiction will become a reality.

Here's to Michael Crichton - Cheers!
