Suraj: Morning, Praveen. What a bright and sunny day. Praveen: Yes sir, Yes sir, Suraj: Of sunshine? Praveen: One for my master,
Suraj: Here we go again. Now what has he latched on to? Rohit: That’s what I’ve been racking my brains about. Second childhood? Praveen: Wonder what the necropsy will reveal?
Praveen: It is the animal version of autopsy. Suraj: But why are you worried about what it will reveal? You’ve never mentioned owning any animal. Praveen: I was just thinking of Dolly, the cloned sheep. Her death has left as many questions as the celebrity status brought on by her birth. Rohit: At least now we know what he’s talking about.
Suraj: Hey, I have an idea. Praveen: And the virus that caused the severe lung infection leading to Dolly’s death had resulted in the death of normal sheep too. Suraj: Listen to me, guys. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to draw on the cells of our top cricketers and have a cloned ‘super cricketer’? He will then do the country proud, at least at the next World Cup.
Suraj: Ha, ha, ha. That’s a good one, indeed. Praveen: Goodbye Dolly, for the moment at least. Published on 19th Feb 2003

Praveen: Baa Baa black sheep,
Suraj: What does it mean? Never heard the word before.
Praveen: It’s too premature and unscientific to label all end products of the cloning process as unsafe. Arthritis was not restricted to Dolly, half the lambs in her land suffered from it.
Rohit: Not a bad idea. Reminds me of a joke I received via e-mail. It’s about a couple on the verge of divorce. When it came to custody of their six-year-old son, neither wanted him. The court asked the child whom he wanted to be with. His reply was that both his father and mother beat him and that he didn’t want to stay with either of them. The judge, after some thought, gave his judgment. “With the Indian team, because they never beat anybody.”
