On Saturday I leave for India to receive the UN Habitat Business Award for 2009 on behalf of Adopt a Light for our initiatives in highways lighting , residential and slum lighting, which as you all know has been my pride and nightmare. But you know what, its all been worth it. I will win one day for my country….

Read about the Award at the Adopt-a-Light website. You can also read my UN Habitat Award acceptance speech here.
