Quit India.....Dada

Quit (Team) India:

Saurav Ganguly seems clearly manipulated the sincere opinion of the coach Greg Chappel and trying to make all see at silly statistics to feel his importance in the Indian Cricket Team now. Here this news article seems to have an insiders report.
The best 11 never took the field since many years that I watched Cricket, but it never turned square on a Captain like this before in India.

10 yr Wiz kid from Pakistan---Youngest Microsoft Certified Programmer

Arfa Karim from Pakistan has become one of the youngest Microsoft Certified Programmers in the world. She is only 10 year old. Wow take a bow beti well done.

Arfa Karim’s story is inspirational to a whole lot of people in Pakistan and around the world. Coming from a place predominatly male dominated, she is well spoken and poised beyond years.

Guess what she would like to develop as her future product ........'Doors'...:) Yeah thats what she said at a sponsored tour to Microsoft. Her explanation is "You would open one large door and inside would be a variety of rooms, which would house different applications. It would be more like a game. Kids will love it."

What I liked most from her story is that she wants to stay in her home country and control from there.

With the presence of younger generation who can think like that the future of any country is safe and would be prosperous. What would you all say. I would like to hear from you in the comments.

Kid NRI's

More and more Indians living in western countries like USA, England are worried about their children getting westernised with every passing day.

Most of them are feeling the generation gap and hence are sending their wards to India for ‘Cultured Education’.

International schools have propped up specifically with these NRI kids in mind. These five star schools have carefully designed their curriculum with a mix of extra curricular activities like Music, Crafts, and Classical Dance etc.

NRI kids coming to India for a ‘Swadesi education’ have become important clients for such international schools. Such a school at Bangalore has more than 30% of its students from foreign lands. The fee ranges from 30,000 to 2,50,000 Indian Rupees per annum.

A big negative point about such schools is, they have minimal Parent-Teacher associations, almost zero knowledge about teachers qualifications, inaccessibility of highly paid Principals.

Low income housing structures in many parts of India use Asbestos sheets as covering material. But they are carcinogenic (Cancer causing). The Asbestos industry is using media sponsored features and advertisements to twist the truth.
Alternative sources like Steel, Stone Tiles, Clay, PVC fibre and Cellulose Fibre have to be promoted to replace Asbestos.
