Eddie DeSa’s Post about the Korean Scientist reminds me of Cross Maidan in Bombay’s Dhobitalao in the 60s outside of which itinerant Pathans from Afghanistan would sit, with a wide cloth spread on the pavement, on top of which were displayed all sorts of roots, barks and powders. The Pathan would give a sales pitch in half Pashtu, half Hindusthani, mainly referring to a) how this would make you younger and b) how this would improve your sex life.
It was amusing to see young Goan couples who had come to the Maidan for relaxation, crowd around the Pathans hearing his spiel and wondering if it were true. The shy maidens would prod their male partners to ask for more information on the sex potions or even to pressure to buy them, eyes darting to and fro to ensure no friends or neighbours were in the crowd. On another note Eddie’s obvious revulsion for the BJP does not apply to Indian ingenuity. BJP or no BJP, young Indians continue to be talented, ingenious and inventive even with the limited options open to them. Were it not for the culture of corruption, the money-grabbing politicians and their sycophantic bureaucrats, who knows where India would have reached. Don’t forget Eddie, even being in the UK, all your vaccines and all your pharmaceuticals come from Indian enterprise. Quote Scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have discovered a way to make skin cells “grow younger.” They claim the original technique can be used to “reverse the ageing process and prevent diseases related to ageing and prolong life span.” Speaking to RT from KAIST University, Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho, the lead scientist in the study, said seeing the revitalized skin in the laboratory was “dramatic,” Quote ends.
