Let's Fire Up Those Neurons!

If you do, I promise that I would behave and be the nicest person to you. At the age of 63, I learned a lesson that friendship is much more important than solving a puzzle.

Errrr ... ahem ..., Viswa, I think this guy indulges in some extravagant extrapolation - not my cup of tea!
I know he has captured imaginations in India. I'm always bumping into people urging me to read him, and I did. I hope you won't be offended if I tell you that his impact on the latest scientific developments is zero.

Sorry about the previous puzzle. I saw your tag just as I was heading out of town - didn't have time to look at it.

 

No offense taken. I have read him and many times I nodded my head in agreement. Scientists capturing the ancient Indian wisdom is not going to end with him. Many have done before and many might do in future as well.

Please let me know, if anyone needs more clue. Soka gave an excellent clue in his response.

 

Not a cup of tea that would cross my lips either... but the puzzle aside, just the love potion I was looking for! Thanks.

 

@Viswamitra this puzzle kept me awake in the dream. LMK if I am wrong. I simply followed the clues above
