Rocking BOSEs! Ha .. Ha!!

So many things which prove the extreme egotism of human being. So, when it comes to feel proud for others achievements our dimensions keep shrinking on situations. We definitely will feel proud for the achievement of  peoples from our planet if there is an another planet to compete with us. The dimension keep reducing as per our desire, from our country to state, then to city and so on. Today, being a Bose myself, I will be always feel proud of other namesake too. Today it is all about Amar G. Bose, because he was a real achiever. Being in the computer field many times when people ask for the suggestion for what type of speaker or sound system they should buy, my advise always was “if you can afford then go for BOSE”.

There were many Bose who made me proud for the lastname which I shared with them and A. G. Bose was one of them.

Amar Gopal Bose

Amar Gopal Bose was born in 1929 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father Nani Gopal Bose was a revolutionary freedom fighter who emigrated from Calcutta. Amar Bose was interested in electronics right from his childhood and used to make small electrical toys to supplement his family's income. He did his schooling Abington Senior High School and graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering from MIT in the early 1950s. He also completed his Ph.D. from MIT.

While doing graduation from MIT in 1950s, Amar Bose purchased a new stereo system. But he was disappointed with the performance of the speakers. Despite their impressive technical specifications, the speakers failed to reproduce the realism of a live performance. This led Bose to start working on stereo speaker. He aimed to design a speaker that would emulate the concert hall experience in the home. Amar Bose's early patents won him great respect within the industry. But Bose needed capital to do further research and begin production. Amar Bose received financial support from MIT professor Y. W. Lee and in 1964 he founded Bose Corporation.

In 1968, Amar Bose invented the 901(R) Direct/Reflecting(R) speaker system. They were one of the first stereo loudspeakers to utilize the space around them instead of reproducing sound as if in a vacuum. Bose's 901(R) speakers remained an industry benchmark for 25 years. Amar Bose also captured the car stereo market, with systems that transformed the on-the-road listening experience.

His products can be found in Olympics stadiums, the Sistine Chapel, NASA Space Shuttle, and the Japanese National Theatre. Amar Bose was also a professor of electrical engineering at MIT for many years until he retired in 2000. Amar Bose featured on the 2006 Forbes Billionaires list with a personal wealth of $1.2 billion.

Amar Bose has 98 patents in sound technology.

!!!The food we ate was Indian, and both my mother and father were very deep into the ancient philosophy of India, so it could well have been an Indian household. – Amar G. Bose!!!
