Sir Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in St. Mary’s Hospital in London, a big surprise was waiting. He found a blue-green mould growing in one of the petri dishes. Intrigued, his mind went probing on the cause of contamination. Soon Fleming realised he had stumbled upon a discovery that would be hailed as one of the world’s biggest medical breakthroughs. By sheer serendipity, Fleming found the mould had destroyed colonies of staphylococcal bacteria around it. Penicillin — the nemesis for the deadliest bacterial infections — was born. Gruelling work followed. In 1945, Fleming along with his legendary team of researchers Ernst Chain and Sir Howard Florey were awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine. As World War II unleashed deaths and miseries, a miracle weapon armed doctors against life-threatening bacterial infections. Until then, minor cuts or bruises carried risks of deaths. Penicillin saved lives of soldiers grievously injured during the war. An article in Science Museum describes the quick build-up to make the drug. It says such was its demand that scientists used every conceivable object — from bed pans to bathtubs — to store volumes of broth for the fermentation process. Gallons of mould broth were needed to get a fingernail of penicillin, says the article. With time, as scientists developed better methods of extraction, it spawned dozens of producers across Europe and the US.

success is not dependent on variables such as determination, perseverance, or even talent. Having one or all of the three virtues does not sadly guarantee that you will reach the pinnacle of success. Entrepreneur, author, and motivation coach Ankur Warikoo admitted that his success had an element of luck. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Warikoo stated that his gender, appearance, and family all played a vital role in his success. He also urged his followers to acknowledge the importance of luck and good fortune when it comes to attaining prosperity. “5 lucky things that I believe defined 99% of where I am in life today. I was born a male. I was born fair-skinned. I was born to parents who went to college. I was sent to an English medium school. I was raised in a big city (Delhi). It would be pompous af for me to think that it's my hard work, grit, discipline, or anything like that, that played a major role in getting me to where I am in life today. The truth is — I am privileged.

Filmed theatre — the recording and subsequent screening of a live stage production — isn't to many tastes. it usually has neither the immediacy of a good play nor the visual brio of a good film. I've been wary of the form ever since my school showed us an astonishingly dull 'film' of The Merchant of Venice, which felt like it was created by having a stationary camera placed in the first row at a theatre. And yet, I loved a recent screening of The Motive and the Cue, Jack Thorne's play about the inter-generational clashes between two major British actors, John Gielgud and Richard Burton, during a 1964 Hamlet production in which the former directed the latter. One reason for this is that I'm a Hamlet nut, and have some interest in the real-life figures depicted here (especially Gielgud, superbly played by Mark Gatiss, but also Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who were newly-weds at the time). To appreciate this play, you need that interest. But even otherwise, M&C didn't feel static.

election time. And all I can think of are people who like people who they (think) they are like. There are people who like politicians, writers, artists, actors, sportspersons that they look up to, because the latter provide them some pleasure, joy, purpose. Some of these people are even Indian White supremacists, who genuinely believe that the pavements would be smoother under British governance. Then there are the same people who don't like people who they are not like. Or rather, people who are not like them. The reason for their antipathy could be a difference in faith, dietary habits, regional residency, way he or she behaves in a gathering, or the way one dresses. But this kind of antipathy, even detestation, can be a defining feature of such a person.

The situation today was such that «the very idea of Indian democracy that our forefathers fought for is in peril», he told reporters here. «Our manifesto is a strong document with a vision for the future. Modi is making up imaginary ideas that are not in our manifesto and attacking us for that. We too can come up with imaginary things about Modi but we are not doing that,» he said. «We believe Modi's own record is bad enough and there is enough to attack.
