Hi, - circulate this to other media, thanks
I just saw the whole story about the fraud duo from
Trivandrum about an hour ago 9:30 AM April 10, 2005
sitting in my office in Fairfax, VA, USA. The last
time I bothered to waste my time about those two "good
for nothing" idiots was on November 29, 2004. I came
to know about their claims during August 2004. Over
September, October and November, I met them personally
in three trips to Trivandrum hoping that they really
had something in them and assured to help them as a US
based NRI. Together we spent close to 7 full days for
nearly 12 hours a day discussing the claims and trying
to actually come out with an instrument design to
sequence human whole genome.
Ajith and Arun kept telling me about helical laser,
this and that - all 100% CRAP stuff. They don't know
the difference between head and ass. It was during the
last meeting that I realized that they HAVE NO
KNOWLEDGE OF ANY KIND. I mean it - their knowledge
levels are close to zero or of no value. My mail box
has about 61 messages from them over August-November
2004. It was all shocking to me but I got over that
quickly and never looked back until today, just to
find out what they were up to next. That's when I saw
Joshy's work on internet.
After November 28, 2004, I expected them to lie low
and stop fooilng people. Their behinds were on fire at
that time because of personal loans they had taken at
high interest rates. So they couldn't rest. They had
to find the next suckers. That is what is really
shocking - How did some people, scientists, and media
in Kerala fall for this, including the government?
Well, it's simple explanation. People look to see a
hero arise from among themselves, scientists expected
a share in the kerala nano action! ,media wants juicy stories, government and
beaurocrats wanted gullible Kerala NRIs to pump in
money towards them.
I got to visit - God's own country - and enjoyed my
visits to Kerala otherwise. You are welcome to contact
me about this topic.
