Ungli bhi operate karo. Na ungli Karega na tweetega

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been advised not to exert himself and remain silent for a while after he underwent a 5-hour throat surgery in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

Kejriwal underwent the surgery for chronic cough at the Narayana Health City in Bommasandra, Bengaluru. Doctors said that the Delhi CM's tongue was too big for his mouth. they stated that Kejriwal suffered from an "enlarged soft palate and uvula in relation to a slight increase in the volume of the tongue".

"He was operated on Tuesday for persistent cough which has troubled him for over 40 years. The surgery corrected an anatomical abnormality of his oral-pharyngeal (part of the throat) and palatal (top surface of the mouth) that was causing small amounts of saliva to trickle into his air passage whenever his nose-breathing was affected by allergy or other factors," the hospital said in a press release.

Dr Paul C Salins, medical director and vice-president at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Centre, made the initial diagnosis of Kejriwal's throat condition and later operated him too.

"There was a restricted space for the movement of his tongue and an enlarged soft palate and uvula in relation to a slight increase in the volume of the tongue that caused kinematic problems in the function. The surgery involved correction of a significant septal spur and palato-pharyngeal (small muscle at the roof of the mouth) correction. There was repositioning of the tongue-base relationship along with the reorganisation of the chin area. The aim of the correction was functional restoration rather than that of a disease," the release stated.

He claims to end the Drug Menace in Punjab in a month. He is .... RaGa

Mr. Rahul Gandhi. 

You were not just born with a golden spoon, but were born on a Peacock throne. Your legacy is something that anyone can be jealous of.

But, neither you, nor your ancestors have been worthy of the stature that you possess. 

Every morning I read something about you is either a self made joke or a self made speech that gets converted into a joke.

Amazingly, you caught my attention this morning with Big Claim: CAN SOLVE DRUG MENACE IN A MONTH- RAHUL GANDHI.

Wadi Baba..... Tame to drugs sathe pakdaya... e pan Amerika Ma...

Have you forgotten your saga: You were caught by the FBI with White Powder. and off course Cash.
Seriously, you will end the drugs in a state?

It was a kind gesture from Shri Vajpayee, the then PM of India, whom your mother begged to get you out of the clutches of law. 

I guess usually you drugs before you give a speech, probably explaining the reason behind the great blunders that you make. 

We have an idiom in Gujarati, "Daahi Saasre Na Jay ane Gandi ne Shikhaman aape"

and that applies to you very well. 

Discovery of New Snakes genus and species in Western India

Nature's creations are abundant and it will be hard to imagine if human kind can discover and document them  all. 

A pleasant news struck me this morning.  A team of researchers from UK and India has announced the discovery of a new snake in the Western Ghats recently.

The new snake has been named as Melanophidium Khairei’ Khaire’s Black Shieldtail after Neelimkumar Khaire, the emeritus founder of Katraj Snake Park in Pune and the Indian Hereptological Society.

The team included researchers from the Natural History Museum (NHM), London, UK; National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bangalore, India, the Indian Herpetological Society (IHS), Pune, India and the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS). First author Dr David Gower and Dr Mark Wilkinson from NHM Ashok Captain of IHS/BNHS and Varad Giri a post doctoral fellow of NCBS constituted the team.

The discovery is the result of meticulous efforts of last 15 years by David Gower of  NHM and his colleague Mark Wilkinson, Giri, Ashok- the Captain of Bombay Natural History Society, Mumbai and Indian Herpetological Society, Pune.

According to researcher Varad Giri of National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, the snake belongs to family Uropeltidae, which comprises all species which are burrowers and live mostly underground. It is said that this would be the first time that a new species has been correctly identified after a gap of 144 years.

The news comes barely  a couple of days after another team of researchers discovered an entire genus of snake. The species has been named as Wallaceophis Gujaratenisis.

The snake genus has been named Wallaceophis in honour of the legendary 19th century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), considered the father of biogeography, while the snake species has been named Gujaratenisis to commemorate the western Indian state where it was discovered.
