india tweets

About six months back, I had posted a tweet about 'bhut jolokia', the hottest chilli in the world, to which some Americans have taken fancy.

Then I had mentioned that it would not be long before the CIA realised that “administering” it the wrong way would get even the most hardened criminals to 'sing'!

Well, for once, Indian defence scientists have beaten the Americans, a bit differently though. They have developed a grenade filled with bhut jolokia. Its smell is so pungent that it will numb and immobilise terrorists and enemy troops. Work is also on to use it in teargas shells and as a powder that can be used by women to protect themselves.

Hope Haldirams and others take note that there might be significant cost savings if they use it as a food ingredient!
