A young and brilliant scientist, K Karma who had invented the largest fully solar powered city was working on a solution for a terrible famine which had hit many south Asian countries. He was based in Delhi, India; though he originally belonged to Kerala where he was working on the project with the professional government teams of Indian, Pakistani, Bengali, Afghan and Chinese scientists. His name was K Karma. In a meeting of the council of scientists K Karma proposed an impossible sounding idea. He said ‘Sir I have an idea. Why don’t we inject chlorophyll in the people’s body so that they can make their own food. No need of resources, no need of gas, no need of electricity, no nothing, just one thing sunlight’. Obviously all the other scientists found the idea ridiculous. But Karma continued to insist his idea to the council of scientists. When no one listened to him he secretly started working on his idea with the help of resources of the council. But he was fired from his position in the council for betraying the council. He returned to Kerala. He set up his new lab in Cochin , his hometown and continued to work on the same project, though now the famine had now been stopped and people were provided with proper food . Soon he got bankrupt and had to close his laboratory. But brilliant minds don’t just get ignored. At the age of 57, he got appointed as the scientific advisor to Kerala’s chief minister. Now that after so many years he had the will and the resources to continue his scientific research he again started his project. He consulted a renowned biologist of Kerala Mahummod Shaqlil. He found that if he implanted certain plant plastids in the human cell, he could actually make photosynthesis possible in human. There is a chromoplast (which is a plastid) called chloroplast which contains pigments called chlorophyll. He devoted another ten years of his life in this research. After that he started testing several insects, then reptiles, then mammals and finally on his 70th birthday he transplanted a living chloroplast in a human. There were side effects on him but the human survived. After that he setup a research company on this project called ‘Vriksh’ (that is a tree in hindi), and resigned from his post as a scientific advisor. At the age of 96 he was successful in this project. He and Mahummod Shaqlil (who was the CEO of Vriksh) were given Nobel Prizes for their work. By now another famine had spread across the Asian continent, in the whole Africa and the Europe, which was far more dangerous and widespread than the former. It was caused due to failure of agricultural crops in many countries because the rainy season had come late. The change in coming of the rainy season was due to climate change. Chloroplasts were implanted in large number. The technology started evolving at breakneck pace and spread throughout the world.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvKYW1SVaZ

Ayyer was a student of class 7, he studied in Cochin’s middle school. He was sitting at a lesson of ‘histolution’. He was very bored he had no interest in the subject, in fact he had no interest in any subject. This subject wasn’t taught to his father and mother because it wasn’t even present at that time. Suddenly the bell rang and he ran enthusiastically it was the Lunch break. But then he remembered that he had to take his mattress along with him. As he picked up his small box in which the mattress was kept in compact form he thought if this subject could split up it would be a lot more interesting then. History in which a proper history lesson was delivered the one with king and queens and battles. And evolution in which it was taught how we came to be so green, so dependent on the stupid sun. As he spread his mattress he chatted with his best friend Jamal. Jamal was a tall boy with a friendly smile. Jamal said ‘Can you imagine how great it must have been tasting delicious food, making delicious food. Not only sleeping in the sun doing nothing but photosynthesis’. His friend replied ‘No but it was very bad too people had to suffer racism’. ‘Racism what is that?’. ‘I read in a book that people used to discriminate other on the basis of the colour of their skin’ said Ayyer. Jamal replied ‘What, a book. From when did you start reading books?’. Ayyer admitted that he had seen it in a documentary as naturally he wasn’t interested in books. ‘I have heard what type of delicacies were sold back then. And do you know instead of Sun bathing Centre and Open Air Lounges there used to be restaurants. By the way restaurants were places where people inhaled food, oh pardon me I think it was something like putting food or… yes I remember now ’ Said Jamal. 88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc00EI8wRA
By now both were laid out on their mattresses and now Ayyer was utterly perplexed on what type of life would have been so many years ago. He thought it was scary living as that, the thought of that type of life : putting food inside the body, being colorful and not just green and what in the world was taste. These thoughts made him question his own being. 88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0eknhslF
