How Being Ignored Helped A Woman Discover The Breast Cancer Gene
It took 17 years for King and her colleague to identify the single gene that could cause both breast and ovarian cancer. During that time, many people discounted her work, saying that genes couldn't cause complex diseases like cancer. She proved them wrong, first by mapping the gene's location, and then in 1994, by announcing that her laboratory had successfully cloned the BRCA1 gene. (King describes her experience in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.)

WOW this is life!!! :cool:
 
Varun is very adventurous in tasting new food items.
He tastes the keerai miLakoottal first and screamed -
haning out his tongue as we do to depict Narasimha avatar.
Then he did repeat performance after tasting
the rasam and banana curry making it a hat trick!!!
result...
From today food for him will be stored in small cups
before the spices are added for the rest of the family!!!
 
Baby goes with the car wherever the car goes. :car:

Thaathaa goes with the baby wherever the baby goes. :baby:

The extra ticket (me) will stay at home and :typing: poems for the blogs! :bump2:
 
No phone is need to communicate now.

Just leave the Skype or Google chat on and

keep sending messages which arrive with a ding!

BING and DING are part and parcel of modern life.

They have successfully replaced the ring of the tring. :phone:

But now they need the phone to type their text messages! :rolleyes:
 
The concepts of I and MY take rot by the time the child becomes 2 years old!

Everything is recognized as belonging to someone - mostly himself/herself! :rolleyes:
My daddy, my mummy, my chair, my plate, my toy, my tool, my food, my juice... :bump2:

Snatching / pulling apart / destroying / demolishing are common occurrences.

A lovely colorful caterpillar got pulled into two at first vertically.

So one half has the head with antennae and the other only the hind quarters.

Now Varun is trying his very best to pull apart the front half horizontally

in order to make it look like infant Jayathrathan. :rolleyes:

The older version of knee wraps with silicon dots

which my younger son gave me in 1998.

The newer version which I purchased in India in March 2014.

I was under tight scrutiny for wearing padded knee wraps. :(

They were still fresh from the shop.

Seeing the enormous price of these wraps,

I spent one day in getting the older version made usable

by giving it an additional lining and attaching new Velcro.

I shudder to think now what would have happened ....

IF I had worn the colorful knee wraps repaired by me??? :fear:

What will happen to the Indian ladies wearing the padded you-know-what!!! :scared:
