This clip was taken from my window..!! At bright 11 AM, the street lights are on, and then we are given dose of 'electricity saving' by MSEB. Hopefully someone conveys this message to someone responsible.
(Please note this article/thesis’ sanity remains constrained only in India and applicable only to Indians.) In India, an Indian is either a Hindu, or a Muslim, or a Christian, or a Jain or a Buddhist….. or a Secularist. And India is a Secular country. My title, ain’t so thought provoking. It’s simple, you cannot be or at least not claim to be, a Hindu/Muslim (etc.) and secularist at the same time. The word secular was interpolated in our constitution by an amendment in 1976. I remember saying this to one of my secular friend who chided me for using jargons like amendment and interpolation. To answer him I have to say that these are matchless words which best describe the situation. Amendment is a change made to the constitution by a parliamentary bill/order. Interpolation is an addition/append made to the constitutional literacy. It means the word secular wasn’t mentioned in the constitution by the constitution framers, dated back to late 40’s. My point of argument is th...
SS: The following piece of writing is purely satirical and hypothetical. It does not resemble any person/object or situation in reality, any similarity to real life person/object should be taken as a pure co-incidence. Getting an over-head projector (OHP) in any normal college is one simple thing. Go and visit the staff room, and swap your ID card for the projector. Plug in the wires, adjust the focus and you are done. An excellent substitute for black-board notes, making lives of so many teachers across the globe easier. Not to forget the benefits of the same to the students who don’t have to burn their retinas in comprehending the caricatures, I mean diagrams, made by their teachers on the black-board. When it comes to an engineering college in MU, there is a twist in everything, right from the first day in the college. You are made to sign a self-imposed imposition; I mean the admission form of course, of ‘Imprisonment in the institution for 4 years or more for some special out-stan...
It was just a couple of days back, at the Juventus Arena, Juve were playing out an embarrassing draw against Lazio. Conte then decided to sub in Del Piero for the last few minutes. A free-kick was awarded at the edge of the box- though not in the best of shooting ranges. Pirlo and Del Piero came over it…and Del Piero cannoned the ball across the face of the wall which took the Lazio goalkeeper for a daze and the ball was in the back of the net. The goal was the winner, worthy of 3 points and Juventus were back in the race for the scudetto . The goal fired up not only the scudetto race but also another long lasting debate- should Del Piero stay another year at Juve? Earlier in the season, Juventus management had quite absurdly announced that this season would be Del Piero’s final one and he would ply his trade outside Turin once he is done with it. It didn’t surprise many Juve fans at that time, since the 37 year old had done his job at the club, not only did he cement his position...
