This week we learned about a cure for cancer

The pharma industry is all abuzz about a new wonder drug for cancer. Seems one of our resident babas (not the leading FMCG manufacturer) had developed one such drug at his ashram and sent it to a ­private scientific research facility for verification. The latest is that the private lab might have cleared it and that should set off a global storm soon. Of course, there is an entire process of peer-review before such claims can be authenticated. But that is a remote concern at this stage at least because the baba’s officefolk are tight-lipped and won’t even confirm if the lab has indeed passed this drug as a new medical ­marvel. Can’t wait.
