Board exams

Recently the HRD minster Kapil sibal announced that there will be no board exams for 10th and he will be planning on not to have 12th board exams as well in future. This announcement has triggered to lot of debate in media, students and parents. some of the students are really happy that they need not have to study and get pressuried. some of the teachers are pitching in for continous learning and thus might get more control on students than earlier. But still there are lot of unanswered questions on having board exams or not. Every body are keen to know about all details from government on board exams. Board exams are in india for long time probably we inherited it from the british. Primary purpose of the board exams was to assess the student's performance and provide feedback to the student.Board exams results are looked into before admitting any student into higher education institutes, before selecting a candidate for a job, etc. Earlier this system worked perfectly simply beca...

Murry mania

It is not andy murry britain's no 1 tennis player. I am refering to Al Murry, the pub landlord, is simply hilarious and wonderful to watch and listen to his comic stuff. I am indian and no where connected to britain expect for colonial period in early 19th century, during that time i was not even born. but i could get 90% of his jokes, few i went and re-listened to make sure i understood correctly. His concept of jokes is about Pubs and he prefers to be called pub landlord. In pubs people talk about different topics and they have their own opinion for every topic in the news. And most of the opinions are funny and one cannot really argue with a drunk guy who is simply adamant on one thing and about his point of view. Pub landlord is really patriotic in nature and loves britain so much that he hates all other countries and french being the top of the list. He likes the queens band and thinks all other bands are only second to queens. Every name which he hears becomes a beautiful bri...

what would have happened ?

what would have happened? few years back, i had received a email from my friend with the subject what would have happened if 1 ruppee was equal to 40 dollars?. The email had detailed description of how people in US and across the world would be dying to come to advanced country like India and their implications in terms of visa,climate,studies, food and other things. I was just thinking on same lines as that email and though little more than that email. In what condition would have made india like US and US like India. I went back to days of Columbus. Columbus started of his voyage to find India and not US, it was just a co-incidence that he discovered US and people during that time felt US was indeed India for few days and they still call the Native Americans as Indians. After this finding US, europeans started to move from europe to US and started to colonize US and there was war,trade, competation and supermacy. Eventually it was the britsh who started to control the US from england...

Differences

Evidence indicates that modern humans originated in East Africa about 200,000 years ago. After first man and women,In initial days man, women and children lived together.Women due to their physical capabilities naturally were over-powered by man and they continued to stay with man because of no other alternatives. we can conclude from this,the first difference, which human could realize was sex. They learned that man is more powerful when compared to women and it was a good's gift. women could not do anything because she did not have any other alternatives. She continued to stay along with the man under dormant status. Later on,centuries passed and ethnic groups were formed and they stayed together sharing knowledge, food, work and hardships.Due to environmental conditions like availability of water, food , preys and also because of growing population they formed different ethic groups.This eventually led to differences and people fought for water, food , authority, command. E...

Small Time Investor, Watch Out.!!

After Harshad Metha, Ketan Parekh, Ramalinga Raju etc... what should small time investors should look before investing there hard earn money?. 1. Most of the indian companies are linked to different political parties. Before investing into any company, check for political nexus between the founders or Company directors. How would one check for the same?;  Check for each and every individual director or promoter's  profile. If you feel any political contact in terms of relatives,kith, kin and anybody directly or indirectly related then , be very careful.  Secondly, Check is that political party is in power ?; Is any elections coming up, it could be national, state or even by-elections. Because investor's money could be siphoned off for election campaining. Thirdly, Check how is the company getting projects?; Do they have any unfair advantage?. if so, then do not invest in these kind of companies, even if you have slighted amount of doubt. Some might argue that you could make g...

Satyam Fiasco

Today i was reading the news of Satyam, i am really disappointed about an Indian company going down literally in couple of weeks. All the effort of  50,000 odd employees and years of  hard work by them went into drains in no time. if you look into this issue little deeply and look at ev ery Indian you would see lots of hypocrisy, aberrations and unfaithfulness in  every walk of life. I do not want to generalize but the majority of them are that way. I would like to quote few examples within India Inc , politics, films, Bureaucracy and others. India Inc. 1) Ramalinga Raju tried to buy maytas only because his sons were the promoters of maytas.  The father was prepared to throw away all his reputation just for his sons. And did not care about 50,000 people's life. 2) Wipro chairman removed Vivek paul as CEO. As per the speculations Ajeem Preamji wanted to bring his son as CEO. Again father son fiasco. 3) Infosys made 1 billion in just 1 quarter sometime in year 2007. Is anybody listen...

I, T and P decided to watch this movie on Sunday afternoon in movie theater Triveni.We reached majestic at around 1:15 PM and when we 3 were walking in majestic area towards the movie hall I could see lot of Kannada movies running house full and we saw huge crowds in front of all movie halls. Kannada movies are doing well now a days. We took the tickets for AADINA…… and entered the full house hall with tickets, the movie started in no time with just 2 ads. The movie starts off with hero and heroin shooting each others and then they take back seat leaving the 1980’s Karnataka rowdies in fore front.I learnt lot of things about under-world of Karnataka through this movie and it tells who were very prominent during 1970’...
