Long gone those days when people use to have only a few pair of cloths. These days people are very busy they don't have time to wash cloths daily reason why they have many pair of cloths but an Indian origin man seems to have understood the situation and invented an T-shirt which can't be stained.

The T-shirt is named as Silic is embodied with nano-particles which repels water-based liquids by forming a layer of air between the cloth and liquid. This causes the liquid to form a sphere and roll of the cloth hence avoiding unwanted stains. The person wearing this high tech T-shirt also don't have to be worried about sweat stains.

He inspired others to reach for what appeared to be impossible and moved them to break through the barriers that held them hostage mentally, physically, socially and economically. He made us realize, we are our brother's keeper and that our brothers come in all colors.

"What I will remember most about Mr. Mandela is that he was a man whose heart, soul and spirit could not be contained or restrained by racial and economic injustices, metal bars or the burden of hate and revenge. He taught us forgiveness on a grand scale. His was a spirit born free, destined to soar above the rainbows. Today his spirit is soaring through the heavens."

He is now forever free.
---Muhammad Ali
