Heh. That’s what Indian doctor Amit Kumar, the alleged kingpin in the multi-crore kidney transplant racket, said to the Nepalese police when they arrested him. Obviously, the ploy didn’t work and he may soon be brought to India.
Just substitute the Nepalese police with our (corrupt) Indian police and this ploy may actually have worked! Hard luck for the doctor, isn’t it?
And yes, I really hope that this savage is hung…until death. He deserves nothing less.

AFP reports, “An Australian girl spontaneously switched blood groups and adopted her donor’s immune system following a liver transplant in the first known case of its type, doctors treating her said Thursday.“
Nah..you can’t do the same. It just happened spontaneously, didn’t it?

Err….I made that title up. Why? Well just read the full post and you will understand. In fact, it is only ‘City Of Software Spines’. Which city? It is Pune (for the uninitiated, Pune is a city in the state of Maharashtra in India, and an upcoming IT hub).
Pune has been called ‘The Oxford of the East’, ‘Pensioner’s Paradise’ etc. for a long time now and this is the latest addition to that list. But really, this should apply to other Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad et al too which have an Information Technology (IT) industry far bigger than Pune (hence the title). So what is all this about? Read on.
In a report that appeared in The Indian Express on 13th January 2008, Dr. Anil D’Souza said,
” I call it that because it’s an anomaly that I have noticed in patients in the city ever since Pune became a major IT hub. And its happening mostly with those who log in long hours on the computer. “
The report further says,
He explains the anomaly as an unnatural ‘S’ shaped curve at the neck area. “Usually there is a nice smooth convexity between the C1 and C7 vertebrae. Over the past few years between the third and fifth vertebrae there is this concavity I have been noticing in patients. This usually sets in only with age — to people above 60 years. But now people as young as 18 or in their early 20s are showing this problem,” says D’Souza.
The observation is supported by Dr Parag Sancheti, another leading city orthopaedic who admits to seeing at least five to six patients everyday who have a spine problem arising from their work style.
“The reasons are simple — inactivity and wrong posture. The people in the IT field tend to sit for long hours on the computer without proper back rest. They have these deadlines to meet and monthly targets to chase that prevent them from taking a break. The fallout is a complete lack of exercise. Almost every IT company I have been to has a gym on the premises, but the gyms have no people inside,” says Sancheti who is regularly invited by Infosys, TCS and Satyam to talk to the employees about the need for the right posture and how to avoid back problems.
So there you have it. Those who want to enter the IT industry, beware! The IT companies may pay you well, you may become rich (really rich!), but you must never forget this age-old axiom: Health Is Wealth!
