You are right. But problem is that in our country hardly any people
work in the cutting edge technology. Something has been brought out in
the west and we try to imulate over here. At the end of the day, when
you see you toiled so much for a problem but it is actuallly someone
else's algorithm things are bit frustating. But well, my teachers
taught me whatever they could.

In Indian Institute of Science, well things are only bit better that
some of personal algorithms or revisions get approved.

I may continue with research but why to follow someone else's foot
step althrough life? So, better to earn money do a decent job instead
of doing all these. If I have enough inertia I can do it later too.
Many people do it.

That is a nice thought. Thank you Sir.
But I may have to be expert in Graphics and Animation, too. I am
trying to find out.
