re. gasoline from cattle dung:

"darn" cows ?! no, they are
sacred...Gomata...we revere them.

and anyway, they dont have to do
any work. they do what they do
naturally. it is we who have to do
the "darn" work, to get gasoline
from cattle dung.

And by the way, this will have
dung flavour(odour), we may not
like this gasoline too much.

They already have pop-corn flavour
bio-diesel in LA, some may want
that, read on....

I'll go for the eau-de-cologne
flavour gasoline when it comes...

That was in jest.

I love the idea of bio-fuels, and
cattle-dung gasoline. I think
India should go for it.

I think India has a tendency to
wait for the west to productize
a good idea, and only then follow
suit.

It is as if we dont have enough
confidence in native wisdom. We
want america to try a concept
and prove its value & viability.

This is why allopathy became more
popular than indigenous medicine
systems in India. And yoga became
dormant for a long time.

But now that the west wants more
ayurveda, yoga, we too are adopting
it more and more.

Bio-fuels is a great idea, and we
should do it without delay.
