Astrologic!

Well astrology, as we all know, is widely considered to be a part of science and is taught in a number of Universities in the West as scientific subject! However, the recent astronomical quests come right from behind to strike and sweep us from our feet, that the so called science absolutely defies logic.

Astrology as they is based on the motion of the planets and the relative motion of the stars. although it has always been subject to speculation the efficacy of the astrological predictions, the elite in our so called intellectual sphere have always taken it with a pinch of salt. However the the discovery that the solar system actually consists of 12 instead of 9 planets, had left the astrologers running for cover!

Does it mean that the dudes were bluffing the masses all along? Does it mean that the astrolgical predictions, even if they came true, were entirely based on simple coincidences in the Old Harry’s life? Or to cut the euphemism short, was all that study in the name of science trash?

One of the distinguished astrologers in India, Bejan Daruwalla, maintains that the predictions are based on the relative motions of the first six planets amd that the rest do not anyways matter!

I wonder what next!

malaria death blow!

For the past few months there has been a growning indignation at the thought of malaria at my college! students have been succumbing to the parasite  at the swift rate of two to three students per week. this grave concern has been further fuelled by the helplessness that there is no vaccine for the disease.

hence there is no frigging way on earth that u can shield yourself. This is primarily due to the fact that malaria is an exclusively tropical sickness and the West has never been perturbed to act on the R&D for progress on the malarial front.

This compels me to ask all those budding  scientists in general and the biotechnologists in particular  ” WHY ARE WE FRIGGING DEPENDED ON THE WEST TO BE THE SAVIOURS OF HUMANITY?”.

Interestingly, it was also a resident Indian British doctor who had discovered the  causative Plasmodium, the Nobel laureate- Sir Ronald Ross.
