Finally the Capital gets an ENZYME!

It may or may not be something to be proud of... today I found out that New Delhi, the capital of India has a enzyme named after it!
It is called the New Delhi-Metallo-1. The only problem is that this enzyme is not all that good for humans as it gives drug-resistance to bacteria!

It is causing a lot of worry (as usual) in UK and other European countries as the drug-resistance brought about by the enzyme means there are just 2 anti-biotics that are left for doctors to try and control the bacteria!

I think it is our corrupt politicians and babus who probably have loads of this enzyme which makes them resistant to all forms of checks and balances. Also probably the bacteria bribed them to get the enzyme.
