Saas, Bahu aur Saazish-Our Expectations from the new HRD Minister

The bahu of the nation is settling into her role as the Honorable Human Resource Development minister of the country amidst heavy controversy about her academic credentials. The reason for such vigorous debate on her credentials has been because of the criticality of her position. For India to be able to leverage the strength of its youth and to develop its younger population better, education is the sole key. She has time and again requested her detractors to let her work speak for her and the nation is now waiting to see how she proves herself by her work.

Times of India Movie Reviews: The Freakonomical Scam Underneath (Part Two)

So ever since I wrote on this topic (read Part One here), I have been getting congratulatory emails, requests for the data I used to run the analysis and a few emails/ comments on my post contesting the validity of the analysis. I think some people didn’t really get it. What I had analyzed, hypothesized and then proven using data was that the gap in movie review ratings between TOI and IMDB (and not the actual rating on TOI itself) moves up whenever there is a bankable star in a movie.

Convergent Innovation: Can it solve complex development problems?

The main challenge of Indian agriculture is usually seen as productivity, and that too with a focus on the staple crops of wheat and rice. The government’s support system has also been focused on these crops – earlier through an effort to develop new varieties, and now through an elaborate system of procurement at minimum support prices.

A day in VGSOM..

“Dude get up ...get up dude ...it is already 7:50 .....now I am putting off the fan??” ... “yeah Prakash ...I am I am.....Please put it on... ..” I said hurriedly, realizing that my morning sleep had already come to an end. I really did not want to count the number of hours for which I had hugged my pillow last night. It would have made me feel even sleepier. But I knew I had to hurry up, and it had to be faster than yesterday. My Harley,(that’s what I “pyar se” call my cycle) has not been keeping well for the past two days. It had developed a problem in the front spoke, one more day and I will have to put it in the Intensive care unit beside the MMM canteen. “Mota-da” runs this ICU for the cycles for the SDS-block. As I grabbed my toothbrush and gazed across the balcony there were already few cycles racing across the basketball court tin front of the LLR hall. We call our hostels as “halls”.Plunging three slices of buttered bread into the glass of warm milk and devouring it almost like a refugee; I somehow made my way to the cycle stand.
