A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it’s a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, “So you’re a man. That’s interesting. I’m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There’s nothing left, but we’re unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together

'Mandal Revisited' is what a news channel had to say after the HRD Ministry’s proposal to hike the quota in all central universities to 49.5%; I would, on the other hand, like to refer the Mandal Commission as MC (no! the pun isn’t intended, but must say some uncanny resemblance)In this second part of my ‘assembled’ post I would like to bring some other particulars to light, which should bring a

while at this, i postulate that increased reservations would certainly improve the potential rewards of general category students who do make it to institutes like IITs, IIMs etc. ofcourse, the ceteris paribus assumption applies here. specifically i had in mind that fact that the non-creamy layer students entering via the reservation quota at very low entrance cut-offs/percentage are unable to

There has been a lot of hullabaloo over the proposal of the HRD Ministry to increase the quota in Central Universities and colleges from the existing 22.5% to 49.5%. The current system allows a 22.5% quota for Schedule Casts (SCs) and Schedule Tribes (STs). The government now wants to reserve another 27% for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) increasing the overall reservation to 49.5%. Since a lot of

While I did not have the time to develop the arguments to the extent i would have wanted to, here it goes...I was wondering whether drugs (narcotics - including both hard and soft drugs) and free markets are compatible. Whereas some liberals will argue that narcotics should be left to individual choice, I am not very sure that individual choice would be optimal in this case. Let me explain why.

For those who were in 'trying' to organize the farewell, which somehow was a really good (am still shell shocked), a trip is not something the organizers would like to take manage again.
