Mr Non Profit - Clive James

Have you heard of Mr Clive James ? Or maybe Shri Clive James Ji ?
Well maybe the farmers in India have not, but Indian agricultural scientists surely have.
Can you believe that he is a leading agricultural researcher, and the Chairman of a "non profit", Cornell University, New York based, international network, with centres in Kenya and Philippines ?
Did I say non profit ? International ? Network ? Leading ? Agricultural ? Researcher ? Did I say Kenya ? Did I say Philippines ?

I am sure you are feeling dizzy .... Maybe the fault lies with you then. Pop in some organic biotech pills. Maybe you are getting too old. Maybe you have multiple Vitamin Deficiencies ? Snap Out of your mental sluggishness. Listen to what Mr Non Profit Clive James of Cornell University has to tell us.

Maybe Mr Non Profit Clive James of Cornell University is afterall,"the wizard" we have all been waiting for all these years, as we struggled with our collective poverty, backwardness, lack of self esteem, and mental sluggishness.

Well Shri Clive James will be very happy if you sample some organic biotech pills. He is also asking you to join in the celebrations that now India's biotech hectares exceed that of China - India has 3.8 million biotech hectares compared to China's 3.5 million hectares.
Evidently, some friends in New Delhi and some desi babus and mantri ji's, have been keeping very very busy.

It also transpires that India is to rollout a network of national laboratories for biotech research and is committing in good faith an investment of Rs 40 crores, with the non profit guidance of Shri Clive James Ji and US Agency of International Development USAID.
I am really sorry if I keep repeating this word called "network", but what to do, Shri Clive James Ji also keeps using this very often. I sometimes tend to lose count of the number of times the words millions and the words, network are used.
Afterall, as poor illiterate Indian, what do I know of networks and millions ? But I do tend to feel happy and proud, when I use these words. It makes me feel nice and important, learned. Somewhat like a scientist or a policy planner.

And then, even though I have no formal training as an Indian or global agricultural scientist, with a footprint in Kenya and Philippines, the "desi gawar" in me, feels very happy when I use words like millions - networks - institutes - universities - experts - scientists - laboratories - research.
And so I do tend to adopt a few words from Shri Clive James speeches as if they are my own. What to do, I am a desi gawar. I like to feel important, as when the local constable in the local thana, salutes me, and also when a leading non profit agricultural American scientist, out of his philanthropic love and concern, for the malnourished, vitamins starved, natives from the backwaters of Indian villages, is explaining some technical point to me, very earnestly, with full passion.
