The cover contained only Rs 400/-. A Hundred Rupee note was missing - leakage in transit. True to tradition or something similar, was the comment in Times, Ahmedabad report

The Reporters took the money. There was not any mention of any reporter refusing to accept the cover, in that Times report. That is the tragic reality. And it  is a relevant point to keep in mind

"Genes or General Health, Iron Deficiency, Protein deficiency, Chronic Stomach problem, Heavy Cardiovascular drugs, Male hormones, birth control pills, some tranquilizers, antibiotics, acne drugs, arthritis, gout medication and Chemotherapy drugs".

How Educative and encouraging this article is ? Whatever you do, you are doomed. You cannot avoid Hair Loss. Almost every person in today's World, will have one or the other of the above problems

Would it not have been simpler and more helpful, had they written that anyone wearing a Sari, Shirt, Blouse, Dhoti or an underwear is liable to suffer from Hair Loss  due to natural, unnatural and yet to be discovered additional reasons, which may  be printed in future by this  Daily or its sister publications ? 

A copy of that article, Dermatological facts, my Research findings that negate some or all the causes stated in that article, the Medical books that I can quote in support, etc were sent to that Paper. I sent them 2 Hair Regain photo proofs also.

I conveyed the relevant details to seven other leading English Newspapers in India to assess their  "Ethical Standards" / views.  Not a Single Newspaper bothered to respond. That is Business Practice in actual form to be accepted as the Tragic Reality. Who suffers ? We, the Public

a magazine supported by Rajaji, who had the foresight and wisdom in 1957 to call Nehru's ill conceived moves as setting up 'Permit License Raj' and nurturing corruption in public enterprises. [ an upright politician by today's standards, a writer in English and Tamil [ Ramayan and Mahabharat of Bhavan's - I read them in 1960. I was a reader of Swarajya from 1958 onwards ]

In one issue that I chanced to read, the Beauty Consultant has suggested the use of  'Mehandi' for Blackening the Hair. The consultant's advertisement was also in that and some other issues.[ A regular  advertiser can always get additional publicity in the print as a writer or in other ways. ]

How many women will dare to apply Mehendi if it can turn their hands black ? Mehandi makes the skin Red. Women apply Mehendi for that reason only, especially on auspicious occasions. Based on that advice, if some person used Mehendi and got the hair turned to Orangish Red, will the Magazine or the Writer do anything for the sufferer ? 

Around 1994, I met my 1967-69 Hostel Assistant at IIM Ahmedabad. He had flaming orangish hair on the head. When I asked him the reason, he said he was misguided by some to use Mehendi to cover his grey hair. Black and White Hair are at least normal and look natural

As per Published Dermatological data, the causes for Dandruff are not exactly known as of October 1997 / June 2005. There is no proven or direct correlation between Dandruff and hair oil application. Please refer to the section on Dandruff  or Medical Limits. 60% of visitors to this site in June 2005 refer to Dandruff related pages. Indians are just 2% of visitors. That is hard reality for you.

It was a vain and baseless statement, without accounting the consequences on the public. Even if that Doctor has driven out Dandruff from his fellow Doctors'  heads, it would be a wonder.

The Doctor and the Magazine are guilty of Misguiding the Readers. I objected to the Magazine, the Doctor and the writer for printing wrong Medical details which may misguide some readers. They did not bother to reply me directly or print a correction or explanatory note

Shri Manubhai, [ Chairman / CEO ] referred to me after publication. Some of the basic medical facts were wrong and some other details were casual. I pointed out the errors. 

Did they print or correct the mistakes in the next edition ? No. The readers who believed them, lost. What was the qualification of the writer - bald husband of one of the employees, who can write fairly good English !

[ Testing Laboratory: During that visit, Shri Manubhai also asked his personnel to show me the Laboratory and testing methods. It was not well equipped in terms of equipments, testing facilities,  procedure and personnel. Some Newspapers reprint some parts of their Press Notes too, without knowing the basic drawbacks. 

Manubhai got publicity for fighting the air fare rates in in 1975 and he raised that afterwards. Sunita Narain, with perhaps much less resources in comparison, has done a better job for Public safety and Consumer Awareness in the last 15 years ]

Either these 2 companies are bluffing the public or the Doctor of All India Institute of Medical Sciences is right. Only one can be right. Let them fight and establish their reliability to the public 

Where the Tea Tree Oil has gone in 2006 ? we do not see the advertisements now. Around 1997 or so, AHA was the toast. It has also perished. 

Aug 2007: Marico's Dandruff Solution does not seem to have worked. I have not seen any advertisement on TV. Now they have come out with Hairloss solution

If India suffers today from Excessive Corruption, it is also because the Media failed in the discharge of its "duties and responsibilities " for the benefit of the Public. Does the 4th Pillar of Democracy come to the aid of the common man ? You have to assess

$ 206 billion would roughly amount to 884000 Crores in Rupees if we treat 1 dollar as equivalent to just 42.50 Rupees for ease of calculation. Perhaps you may also be aware that some the big Cigarette manufacturing companies are going to start operations in India, within a year or two.

You can bet that after 50 years, the Government and the Consumer councils will raise the banner against these companies. They would close their mouths shut once they get 1000 Crores as General Compensation and 100 Crores as personal gratification by some selected individuals in positions of power then. Just recollect the Union Carbide case.

The  Railways pays just Rs 100000 for an Indian, who dies in a Train accident. An American life is worth about 10 Lakhs or more in Indian currency today. You cannot argue that life is a life, be it an American or Indian. The MNCs should pay by International standards
