		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I could pick up the phone, ask for the production manager of a publishing company, and tell them about the services we offer in India.

		<description><![CDATA[I was having dinner at my cousin&#8217;s house, and after dinner I was offered some Iranian dates.

The second was the writing on the top left of the box: &#8220;zedde sarataan&#8221;, meaning &#8220;anti-cancer&#8221;. This combination proved irresistible and I ate the [...]

I always knew RNIB as &#8220;Royal National Institute for the Blind&#8221;, so I checked in Wikipedia. It turns out that it was indeed that, [...]
