Time is at a premium. As are ambulances. If there's one animal which genetics has really made famous, it's Dolly the ewe. While the world went ga-ga over this success of genetics, most people forgot about the human genome. A genome, in simple-speak, is all the DNA in an organism, including its genes.
Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by organisms.
These proteins, in turn, determine, among other things, how the organism looks, how well its body metabolises food or fights infection, and sometimes even how it behaves. The recent showers offered a refreshing respite no doubt, but summer months can't help being betrothed to high mercury levels, harsh winds and strong ultra-violet rays. Difficult as the times ahead might seem to be, the average Delhiite has little option but to brave the dire straits. Of course, with words of wisdom from the medical men, life can be a whole lot cooler in the current context. One doesn't hear these words too often, specially from film distributors.
