In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Chief Minister and Tri-

chief Mamata Banerjee
on Monday announced
that she will contest
from Nandigram As-
sembly seat in the state
election that is due in
just a few months.
The Chief Minister’s
return to Nandigram is
a direct challenge to Su-
vendu Adhikari, who
has led an exodus of
Trinamool leaders to
the BJP over the past
few weeks. Over 40 Tri-
namool Congress lead-
ers joined Adhikari as
he defected to the BJP
in a mega rally in De-
cember in the presence
of Union Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah.
“I will contest from
Nandigram Assembly.
If possible I will contest
from both Bhawanipur
and Nandigram,” she
said while addressing a
rally here.

Kolkata: BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Monday accepted the challenge thrown
by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to contest from his Nandigram
assembly seat, asserting he will defeat her in the election
or quit politics. He, however, said the final decision to field
candidates will be taken by BJP leadership after thorough
discussion and not in an arbitrary way like in the ruling TMC.
“If I am fielded by my party from Nandigram, I will defeat her
by a margin of at least 50,000 votes or I will quit politics,” he
asserted. “I don’t know from where I will be fielded, whether
I will be fielded,” he said, addressing BJP workers after a
three-km road show. Banerjee, Adhikari alleged, was playing
with the sentiments of the people of Nandigram.

state, we have to follow
the Covid protocol of
wearing masks, main-

from crowded places.
Only then will we be
able to stop the spread

befall us,” Gehlot said

First India Bureau
Jaipur: The controver-
sial web series Tandav
on Monday evoked
sharp reaction from
Congress and BJP lead-
ers who sought action
against the makers of
the web series.
Transport minister
Pratap Singh Khachari-
yawas said that insult to
Hindu deities is objec-
tionable and religious
faith and sentiments of
anyone should not be
hurt. He, however, said
that BJP was trying to
divert attention from
farmers’ agitation
through this issue.
BJP state president
Satish Poonia said that
people who have been
jealous of the public
welfare schemes of the
Modi government are
spreading sensation
and insulting the de-
mocracy of India, elect-
ed public representa-
tives, and Hindu deities,
which is condemnable.
“It has come to my
knowledge that in the
Tandav web series, in-
decent comments have
been made on Lord Shi-
va and the Prime minis-
ter which I strongly
condemn. The indecent
slogans raised in JNU
about freedom have also
been depicted through
this web series,” Poonia
said.
Deputy leader of op-
position Rajendra
Rathore said it was an
attack on Hindu cul-
ture and a conspiracy
to divide the society.
Vipra Sena leader
Sunil Tiwari even an-
nounced a cash reward
of Rs. 1 lakh on black-

“I can understand the

throughout their life.
But regrettably, the
Congress government
of the state only gives a

on the incident and gets
away in each case,” she
said. In the last few

after 11,000 KV wire col-
lapsed on a passenger

ridgerton, Netf-
lix’s hit of the
season, which
is adapted from
the historical
fantasy novels of Julia
Quinn, plays fast and loose
with history. It opens in
1813, the year in which
Jane Austen’s Pride and
Prejudice was published,
Napoleonic war raged in
Europe and London’s West-
minster Bridge was illumi-
nated by the world’s first
public gas company.
Bridgerton is far from
an accurate portrayal of
the historical Regency pe-
riod in which it is set –
named for the transfer of
power from the incapaci-
tated King George III to his
son George IV in 1811 until
the king’s death in 1820.
However, it does get some
things right.
In the show, London’s so-
cial set are abuzz with gos-
sip provided by the anony-
mous column of Lady
Whistledown. The column-
ist’s salacious writing is in
step with the time: gossip
newspapers circulated in
Regency London, detailing
the exploits and scandals
of the “Bon Ton”, or fash-
ionable elite, during “the
season”.
As Bridgerton’s histori-
cal consultant Hannah
Grieg has detailed, this was
the six months each year
during which the daugh-
ters of Britain’s richest
families would be present-
ed at court, and advanta-
geous marriages arranged.
Some have expressed
surprise at Bridgerton’s
depiction of sex on screen.
But, while Daphne Bridg-
erton’s (Phoebe Dynevor)
extensive outdoor copula-
tion against a backdrop of
triumphant baroque archi-
tecture may not have been
every new bride’s experi-
ence, sex was everywhere
in Georgian England. For
two shillings, tourists in
London could purchase
Harris’ List of Covent Gar-
den Ladies, a catalogue of
sex workers in the city that
later informed the show
Harlots.
Scandalous elopements,
abductions and unfaithful
spouses within the upper
classes were all fodder for
the gossip columns. The
adultery trials of aristo-
cratic women proved par-
ticularly popular, among
them Seymour Fleming,
known as Lady Worsley in
1782, and Lady Anne Foley
in 1786.
Another thing Bridger-
ton has received attention
for its clumsy handling of
issues of race in the Re-
gency period. The show is
one of several recent cos-
tume dramas looking to
make the historical pres-
ence of people of colour in
Regency England visible.

While the decision to in-
troduce racial diversity to
the story has been lauded
by many, including the nov-
els’ author, Julia Quinn,
Bridgerton has faced
strong criticism from
scholars and viewers alike.
Bridgerton’s visual cul-
ture is no less implicated.
Across its luscious sets,
paintings copied from real-
life artworks give depth
and legitimacy to the Re-
gency world created on-
screen. A group portrait of
the Bridgerton brothers,
hung in the stairwell of
Bridgerton house and to
which the camera returns
throughout the series, rep-
licates Sir Joshua Reyn-
olds’s 1760s depiction of
the British politician Hen-
ry Fane and his friends.

#COVID19 has made ‘Health’
the central focus of global
agenda. Even though the world
has collectively portrayed great
resilience while facing this
unprecedented challenge, it is
an opportune time to focus on
overcoming shortcomings & building
stronger healthcare systems.
n big corporate houses, there
are various departments to
achieve company goals. They
have a group of senior manag-
ers leading each department.
They also have a department
called Market Analysis which
enables them to stay connected
with the market of their seg-
ment, but small companies do
not have such facility of de-
partment segmentation. In a
small company, there will prob-
ably be a small team – maybe
four or five employees. The pro-
moter will be thoroughly in-
volved in every aspect of the
business – from production to
sales and finance and service.
The small company may not af-
ford the cost of Managers and
Leaders. At such a time, if the
promoter or company owner
does not have progressive
thinking, then the company
will not grow.
Also, some small entrepre-
neurs believe that whatever
they know is true. They give
great importance to their tradi-
tional thinking for the compa-
ny’s operation. They always try
to find some other kind of fault
with new things or ideas. They
are too much into their own
world. They often give more
importance to a process driven
by people and if a particular
manager remains absent for a
day they become conscious.
They never try to invest in pro-
cess Automation or system de-
velopment. They believe and
have over-confidence in their
own skills, but whenever they
face a sudden challenge in the
company, they get confused
and start panicking.
If the Head of a company
possess such a hollow view
then the company has to bear a
heavy loss at some or the other
point in time. The Head of the
company needs to change its
mindset. If the company wants
to be on the path of develop-
ment, then the Head of the
company should keep a pro-
gressive approach and connect
with some outside expert fol-
lowing the vision of the com-
pany’s business.
Today let’s talk about one
such progressive company’s
entrepreneur, Keyur Shah, Pro-
moter and CEO of Reyes Tech-
serve Pvt. Ltd. This company is
a renowned IT company offer-
ing innovative technologies
and software to the healthcare
industry and most of its busi-
ness comes from the USA. In
order to keep the company pro-
gressing for the last 17 years,
Keyur has been continuously
offering new ideas and innova-
tive products to the customers.
The company’s philosophy is to
give more than what is re-
quired at any corner of the
world, and also within the fixed
time limit.
Keyur believes that if you
want to keep your customers
happy, then you have to keep
employees happy. Mr. Keyur is
an outspoken partner who has
participated in the vision of
the company so that employees
are optimally participating in
the development of the com-
pany. With the help of external
Experts, Keyur has been pro-
moting employees to become a
part of the company’s growth.
Every single employee has
been given a fixed goal, they
are all made to feel responsible
for the task they have been del-
egated. The company has im-
plemented the Flexible Work-
ing Hours Policy. Keyur, who
gave the company an MNC-like
atmosphere, has adopted a five-
day working culture.
Reyes TechServe is now look-
ing forward to becoming a lead-
ing IT company making busi-
ness easier, and all the credit
goes to Keyur’s company em-
ployees and progressive cul-
ture of the company. In his
words, if you want to develop
continuously, and need to be a
step ahead of the market and it
requires expert opinion then it
is advisable to take one.
The conclusion of the whole
discussion is if the company
has to develop with a progres-
sive mindset and develop skills
to look at both sides of a coin,
then you need to encourage
progressive and expert person-
alities to participate in your
company’s vision leading to
the ultimate benefit of people.

ONCE AGAIN
fter Mamata Banerjee’s confidante Suv-
endu Adhikari defected to the BJP, the
move was nothing short of a political
quake in West Bengal. Adhikari’s depar-
ture from Trinamool Congress was sig-
nificant because of the influence he commands in
not one or two but 65 Assembly constituencies
across six districts. He was the face of the Nandi-
gram protests over land acquisition by the Left
government in 2007 in which 14 people were killed.
Mamata herself was deeply involved in the pro-
tests and coined the “Maa, Maatee, Manush” slo-
gan which catapulted her to power in Bengal in
2011. Now Mamata has locked horns with Adhi-
kari by announcing her decision to contest from
Nandigram, which is the latter’s home turf. She
will also contest from the Bhawanipore seat.
“I have always started my campaign for the as-
sembly polls from Nandigram. It is a lucky place for
me,” said the West Bengal chief minister who is a
legislator from Bhawanipore in south Kolkata. The
announcement is tantamount to throwing a gaunt-
let which was promptly accepted by Suvendu Adhi-
kari. The former transport minister responded by
saying that if he can’t beat Mamata by “half lakh
votes” he will “quit politics”, making it one of the
most prestigious contests in the coming elections.
Usually, politicians contest from two seats when
theyareunsureof retainingtheirconstituency.They
then look for a safe seat.But here Didi is entering the
lion’s den. Although the size of a political rally does

on Monday showed she is ready to take on the BJP.
A
IN-DEPTH
SIBAL REMINDS CONG
OF PROMISED REJIG
n December last year, Congress Presi-
dent Sonia Gandhi pacified a group of 23
dissenters (G-23) by accepting in princi-
ple their demand for inner-party democ-
racy, which implied holding elections for
the Congress Working Committee and the new
chief of All-India Congress Committee. Even after
five-hour long deliberations between Sonia Gandhi
and G-23, the issue of Rahul Gandhi’s return as
party president remained unresolved. With nearly
a month gone, there is no indication that the Con-
gress leadership is in any hurry to keep that prom-
ise. Rahul Gandhi remains a reluctant leader even
as the disenchantment in the party is growing.
Internal issues plaguing the Congress once again
resurfaced with senior leader Kapil Sibal question-
ing the delay in effecting the much-needed changes
in the party. “Since the meeting on December 19,
we’re almost one month down the road. We’ve had
no response on how and when this will happen. We
hopethatthat responsecomes inthenextfewdays,”
said Sibal who could not attend that meeting as he
wastravellingabroad.Alsoabsentfromthemeeting
were Randeep Surjewala, KC Venugopal, Rajiv Sa-
tav, and some other loyalists of Rahul Gandhi.
The revival of Congress is imperative for its sur-
vival. It has already faced electoral reversals in
Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Kerala. Its prospects
don’t look good in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and
Assam. With internal strife persisting and no clar-
ity on party president, sentiment against the Gan-
dhis is growing. Yet, they seem to think that pana-
cea lies in procrastination and not in taking the
problems head-on.

6. New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court said on
Monday the entry of
protesting farmers into
Delhi on Republic Day
to be decided by the Del-
hi Police due to it being
a “law & order issue”.
The apex court was
hearing a plea seeking
an injunction against
the proposed tractor
rally on January 26.
“We said this last time
that entry to Delhi has
to be seen under Delhi
police. Who should not
be allowed and the num-
ber of people who can
enter are all matters of
law and order to be
dealt with the by the po-
lice,” the top court said.
“We have indicated
to the Attorney General
and Solicitor General
that it’s totally up to the
police to decide who
should enter and who
should not. Does the
Union of Indian want
police to be told that
they have powers under
the police act?,” said
the bench, after the AG
sought an adverse or-
der against the tractor
rally.The matter has
been adjourned till
Wednesday.
In an application
filed through the Delhi
police, the Centre told
the court that any
planned rally or demon-
stration that aimed to
interrupt and disrupt
the festivities of Repub-
lic Day would cause the
nation to be “embar-
rassed”.
After the hearing,
Union Agriculture Min-
ister Narendra Singh
Tomar said that the re-
forms brought in by
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi were “coura-
geous” and would ben-
efit farmers.
Agitating farmer un-
ions have remained
firm on holding a trac-
tor rally on the Repub-
lic Day and vowed to
continue their stir till
the Centre’s farm laws
are repealed. Agricul-
ture Minister Narendra
Singh Tomar on Sunday
urged them to discuss
alternatives to scrap-
ping the legislation at
the next meeting sched-
uled for January 19.
However, Bharatiya
Kisan Union (BKU)
leader Rakesh Tikait
told reporters in Nag-
pur that the farmer
groups were prepared
to sit in protest till May
2024. “Our demand is
that the three laws be
taken back and the gov-
ernment provide a legal
guarantee on the MSP,”
he said.
In an application filed
through the Delhi po-
lice, the Centre told the
court that any planned
rally or demonstration
that aimed to interrupt
and disrupt the festivi-
ties of Republic Day
would cause the nation
to be “embarrassed”.
Meanwhile, union
leader Yogendra Yadav
said at a press confer-
ence at the Singhu bor-
der protest site that the
agitating groups will
carry out a tractor pa-
rade on the Outer Ring
Road in Delhi on Repub-
lic Day. —Agencies

Bengaluru: Reliance
Industries plans to embed
its ecommerce app

within 6 months, sources
reported on Monday, as
the conglomerate looks
to ramp up its retail and
grocery business in the
country. Reliance, which
has been trying to move
away from its mainstay oil
and energy business, had
last year raised about $26
billion from investors like
Google & Facebook for its
digital and retail arms as
it takes on Amazon.com
Inc and Walmart-backed
Flipkart in India. The
move to integrate JioMart
with WhatsApp will allow
hundreds of millions of
users to order products
from Reliance without
having to leave the app.

PM’S VEILED DIG AT CONG: PREVIOUS GOVT
LACKED MODERN APPROACH FOR METRONew Delhi: Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi on
Monday took a veiled
dig at previous Con-
gress-led United Pro-
gressive Alliance (UPA)
regime, saying that the
previous government
had no modern ap-
proach and policy for
metro.
Speaking at the
‘Bhoomi Poojan’ of
Ahmedabad Metro Rail
Project Phase-II and Su-
rat Metro Rail Project
via video conferencing,
the Prime Minister said
over 450 kms of metro
network became opera-
tional in the last six
years.
“Work on projects
worth Rs 17,000 crore is
starting from today.
This shows that the
country’s efforts for
new infrastructure pro-
jects is increasing dur-
ing COVID-19.
Ahmedabad and Surat
are cities that will em-
power self-reliant India.
Ahmedabad and Surat
are receiving very im-
portant gifts today. Met-
ro will further strength-
en the connectivity in
two major business cen-
tres of the country -
Ahmedabad and Su-
rat,” he said on Monday.
“These metro pro-
jects are being concep-
tualised to meet the
needs of the future. Our
cities will get better fa-
cilities,” PM Modi said.
He added that during
the previous regime ex-
pansion of metro rail-
ways in the country was
comparatively ‘less sig-
nificant’, adding that
around 1,000 kms long
metro lines are being
laid in 27 cities.
“Before 2014, only 225
kms of metro line be-
came operational in 10-
12 years. In last 6 years,
over 450 kms of metro
network became opera-
tional.
Once there was no
modern approach for
metro, and there was no
metro policy. As a re-
sult, there are different
metro in different cities
based on different tech-
niques and facility.
There was no integra-
tion of metro with oth-
er public transport me-
diums,” the Prime Min-
ister asserted.
“Today, we are devel-
oping transportation
system of cities as inte-
grated system. We are
developing cities’ trans-
port system like inte-
grated system, which
means that bus, metro,
rail will not ply as per
their own design but
work as collective sys-
tem, complementary to
each other,” he added.
Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi highlighted
that Surat is eighth big-
gest city in terms of
population and fourth
fastest growing city in
the world.

NEED FOR RESEARCH WORK
IN AGRI VARSITIES: GEHLOT
Complete pending
works on time: Goyal
PM’s dream will materialise when states give priority to research, the CM said
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot on Mon-
day, emphasised the
need for focussing more
on research work in ag-
ricultural universities.
Addressing the second
convocation ceremony
of the Jodhpur Agricul-
ture University, he said
a good progress has
been made in animal
husbandry and agricul-
ture sector in the state.
“There are five agricul-
tural universities in the
state and our focus
should be on research,
which will benefit the
country and the state,”
Gehlot said in the vir-
tual programme.
He also said the
prime minister’s slo-
gan of doubling farm-
ers’’ income will mate-
rialise when all states
give priority to re-
search through agri-
culture universities.
Gehlot also ex-
pressed his concerns
about depleting
groundwater levels.
“The water level is de-
pleting and it is a mat-
ter of concern. We need
to encourage drip irri-
gation and sprinklers
in farming,” he said.
He said the state gov-
ernment has not in-
creased the power tar-
iff for farmers and
brought a new food pro-
cessing policy. —PTI

New Delhi: Is the long
wait of Congress legis-
lators, both from Ge-
hlot and Pilot camps,
finally over? Are the
days of being included
in the state cabinet fi-
nally here? Well, the fi-
nal word is here - NO.
Highly placed sources
in Congress party both
in Jaipur and at New
Delhi, have confided in
First India that at the
moment there is no
possibility of cbinet ex-
pansion, thereby, put-
tingtoresttherumours
doing the rounds that
cabinet expansion will
certainly take place
prior to January 31.
On the contrary,
sources claim that
there is no possibility
of expansion till the
first week of February.
Governor Kalraj
Mishra is out on tour
from January 22 and
Gehlot himself will
tour Kerala on January
22 and 23. The rumour
mill had started spew-
ing after Gehlot called
on Governor Mishra on
Sunday, however, the
courtesy meet was to
inform the Governor
about the corona vacci-
nation drive & the up-
coming budget session.
Interestingly, the meet-
ing was scheduled at
the initiative of Gover-
nor Kalraj Mishra who
had phoned up Gehlot
to say his New Year
‘Hello’. Notably, a
source close to the
High Command has
claimed that due to the
constant pressure from
Pilot camp, expansion
is the party’s priority
however, no decision
on the probables has
been taken as yet! It
will be only after Ge-
hlot speaks to Ajay
Maken and KC Venugo-
pal that he will meet
Sonia in New Delhi and
after a ‘go ahead’ from
the High Command
will the ‘ceremony’ be
held. As of now, Maken
is going out of Delhi for
two days owing to his
wedding anniversary on
January 21. Interesting-
ly, several Congress
MLAs like Rita Choud-
hary have suddenly
made a beeline for Ajay
Maken’s office in New
Delhi.Notably,itisbeing
said that more than a
dozen new faces - 9 from
Congress, 3 independ-
ents and 2 former BSP
men, will be included in
the cabinet while non-
performerministerswill
be shown the door.
Meanwhile, Gehlot
has convened an impor-
tant meeting of his
cabinet at 5 PM today to
discuss and finalise the
government and par-
ty’s strategy for the up-
coming Assembly ses-
sion and also to have a
brief reviewof ongoing
Corona vaccination
drive across the state.

ne of India’s most
proficient and im-
portant designers
in the fashion pan-
theon, Rajesh
Pratap Singh is
originally from
Jaipur and now runs his
fashion empire from New
Delhi. His minimalist view-
point and his super-luxuri-
ous execution ensure his
position in the industry
and he is often celebrated
by his peers.
His seasonal offerings in-
clude the most beautiful
winter basics and outer-
wear. Known as one of the
most intellectual of design-
ers, his work is widely ap-
preciated for the complex
development of his fabrics.
Not for him the conveni-
ence of ordering woollen
fabrics from China and Ita-
ly, for he maintains that In-
dian wool counts amongst
the finest in the world and
all it needs is the correct
production guidelines to
make a difference and up-
grade Indian wool to global
standards.
To achieve this, he set up
his own looms in Neemrana
just outside New Delhi and
hired the very best of weav-
ers to produce his fabrics
under his masterful super-
vision. At Rajasthan Herit-
age Week, he showed his
mastery over the medium
with a series of exquisitely
made woollen ensembles
for men & women.
Here, he worked with the
Khadi wool of Rajasthan
right from its original
source, choosing the best
quality of raw material
that was processed accord-
ing to his exacting stand-
ards. This raw wool was
hand-spun into fine yarn
and woven by the Master
Weavers of the State, like
Sitaram Ji of Barmer who
painstakingly wove the fab-
ric into the yardage that
would form the foundation
of his collection.
Once the fabric was
ready, he shipped it back to
New Delhi for the finishing
and dyeing process. Some
of the finished product also
returns to Rajasthan for
hand block printing by the
master artisans, and then
again back to New Delhi to
be made into his interna-
tionally celebrated gar-
ments.
This is what sets Rajesh
Pratap Singh apart from
the quotidian. His fabrics
are virtually impossible to
replicate, creating an ex-
clusivity that appeals to the
purists of fashion, for they
know that to wear his col-
lection is literally a badge
of sartorial honour. While
many designers are content
to buy fabric from the usu-
al Chinese/Turkish/Italian
import houses, Rajesh
will never compromise
his exacting standards,
developing his fabrics
from the ground up sea-
son after season.
This winter, he used
wool in an extremely re-
stricted colour palette
of white and off-white com-
bined with grey and black
anthracite to send out a col-
lection at once strong and
sophisticated. His fabrics
were woven into chequered,
striped or jacquard designs,
sometimes inspired by sim-
ple tribal blankets and
sometimes by traditional
European classics. His
block printed woollen fab-
rics created a sensation, for
the furry surface texture of
wool does not lend itself
easily to block printing,
and especially with vegeta-
ble dyes. This was perfectly
executed by the artisans.
Embellished with subtle
detailing like Kantha em-
broidery and resist dyeing
processes to create a batik
effect, his International sil-
houettes were dramatic
and his tailoring impecca-
ble. From blazers to great-
coats, and from three-piece
suits to separates, each
piece reflected his personal
philosophy. Gender fluidity
played a big role in his im-
aginative offerings, blur-
ring lines as his men wore
skirts and the women wore
sharply tailored ensembles
inspired by menswear.
There is no one quite like
Rajesh Pratap Singh in the
Indian Design firmament,
and for me, he is truly the
most important and cere-
bral designer in a market
space flooded with spurious
western knock offs and cop-
ies. With a loyal band of
customers the world over
acquiring his collections,
ensuring that their ward-
robe features timeless piec-
es that can be worn for a
lifetime of style.
With serious investment
and funding, the Rajesh
Pratap Singh label is per-
fectly poised to become an
international brand.

YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
here are people
who call it “green
blood” and credit
innumerable ben-
efits to it. As per
claims, wheat-
grass juice can
have dramatic effects in
the management of diabe-
tes, hypertension, heart
diseases, infertility, low li-
bido, obesity, thalassemia,
hemolytic anemia, skin
sores, aging, diseases of
teeth, eyes, muscles and
joints. Claims are made
about the significant role
in the management of
asthma, allergies, inflam-
matory bowel diseases,
cancers, arthritis and loss
of mental functions!
They base their claims
on hemoglobin like struc-
ture in wheatgrass where
magnesium replaces iron
and claim that almost eve-
ry mineral and antioxi-
dant is present in this so-
called “wonder” herb.
Doesn’t this all sound
utopian? There is an old
saying that too many
friends mean no friend.
How can a single herb con-
tain so many ingredients
and can have so many ef-
fects that it can treat al-
most every sickness under
sun! Have you ever looked
closely at a wheatgrass
leaf ? It looks like a stroke
of green by a painter with
no veins and scaffolding
like other green leaves of
plants and trees. It is in
these veins and scaffold-
ing that the minerals and
other substances are
stored. You will see no
such veins and scaffolding
in wheatgrass leaf. This
means the leaf mainly
contains chlorophyll pig-
ment which is responsible
for photosynthesis in
which carbon is extracted
from soil and oxygen and
hydrogen are taken from
the water, then with the
help of sun rays, it synthe-
sizes carbohydrates which
are food for the plant and
are essential for the sur-
vival of the plant.
The theory that it is a
good source of magnesi-
um stands on the loose
ground because magnesi-
um deficiency in human
beings is rare as all the
grains, seeds, leafy green
vegetables and all vegetar-
ian and non-vegetarian
fiber contain plenty of
magnesium. Wheatgrass
is neither a unique nor a
dominant source of this
mineral whose require-
ment to the human body is
also minimal.
The leaf is mainly com-
posed of chlorophyll and
some traces of minerals
and this story of green
blood holds no ground as
magnesium can not carry
oxygen which iron in
hemoglobin does and the
theory of similarity of
structure with dissimilar
constituents appears il-
logical. Secondly, human
intestines can neither
breakdown chlorophyll
nor absorb it so, by simple
logic, chlorophyll is of no
use to the human body.
Some people claim that
wheatgrass juice removes
cancer cells from mouth
cancers and intestinal tu-
mours but no widespread
studies have been conduct-
ed and any beneficial claim
at this juncture should be
considered as an over-en-
thusiasm.
Studies conducted to
date on the usefulness of
wheatgrass “wonders” are
mainly restricted to test
tubes, no clinically signifi-
cant research has been
conducted on a large hu-
man population. But the
enterprising businessmen
have found an opportunity
to make some quick money
as dreams are always easy
to sell to gullible people
who are always in search
of shortcuts to great
health.
Lastly, your logical que-
ry is what you should do?
Well, if you are a fan of
“green blood”, stay so be-
cause fans are usually
overwhelmed by emo-
tions, not logic. They, most
of the time, follow some
unproved line of thoughts,
usually non-factual but
the longevity of belief in
miracles is unending. Let
wheatgrass juice be the
“green nectar” of your
morning drink and nur-
ture the euphoria of
health, vitality, virility
and longevity. Forget the
fact that you don’t need
and can’t perform photo-
synthesis, drink a glass of
green as it is palatable and
as such, causes no harm.
Furthermore, being
drawn from a plant source,
it might do some, yet un-
known, good as well.
But if you expect a mira-
cle, then there might be
many disappointments but
once again, habits die
hard, a myth has its own
survival strength so, drink
if you feel good but do not
forget your cucumber, to-
mato, potato and spinach,
plus remember cabbage,
cauliflower, cluster beans
and coriander.
