Imagine when a boy’s family comes to meet a girl and the girl winks at the boy and his father and both spill their coffee after that. The girl’s mother makes excuses for her act, "Sorry, bhai sahib, our daughter has taken an over-dose of the anti-shyness drug." If children, who suffer from shyness, are given a dose of anti-shyness drug they may suddenly gulp down a whole lot of gulab jamuns, cake and chips at a formal tea party. The father would then snap at the mother, "I told you not to give too much of the drug to the children." The drug will prove to be a boon for young bureaucrats who hesitate to accept bribes in the beginning of their career. Professor Paul Zak at Claremont Graduate University has already tested various hormonal extracts on hundreds of patients. I am sure that he must have taken these extracts from the most shameless class of politicians. But I think the greatest demand for the anti-shyness drug would come from the film heroines, who would be then able to shed their clothes at the slightest or even without demand of the scene.
