Let me begin with the paragraph cited from above article: Redefining meaning of world class :- What a pity! 18% of the worlds population (Indians) call third rate colleges as world class and continue to delude themselves. Not only that, they fight tooth and nail to fight to get into universities which are trash by any standard. To add icing to the cake, these 3rd rate institutions say that they are better than Harvard (factoring in just the exclusivity factor) or say that they are "world class". Its better that they these institutes recognize the garbage they are in and first come out of the trash can, before trying to make any claims to delusionary greatness. Thats one reason why our colleges never look beyond national rankings. Every year, one sees different magazines coming up with headline breaking news, that some IIT has overtaken the other as the top college or that one of IIM's A/ B/ C has been ranked above the other. And the gullible Indians lap up this trash bein...

Every city has a character, a pulse of its own. Kanpur as a city is infamous for its uneven roads, irregular traffic and heaps of garbage. But its people love the city. They add color and spice to this city. They love to live here, no matter how bizarre their ways! This post is all about searching colors of life in this city in the images through the images taken by a foreign tourist. Business: Elgin Mill, Kanpur’s oldest textile mill, J K Cotton Mill, Pulse mills, J K Jute Mills, Kanpur Unnao Leather Development Company (KLC), Ghari detergent & Duncan Fertilizers were all part of the industrial culture of Kanpur. The city may have been robbed of its historic smoking chimneys and requisite infrastructure, threatening the expansion of existing industries, but Kanpur still remains a commercial hub for traders. For more, Why Kanpur is still UNDEVELOPED? Pollution & Traffic: There is nothing more for me to say about the Pollution of Kanpur. Kanpur has topped the list as the most po...

A collection of songs for provoking emotion of nationalism in this numb mind. Hum Hindustani Hum Honge Kamyaab Aye Mere Watan ke Aye Watan Aye Watan Sarfaroshi ki Tamana Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage. Loving my country gives me courage to change it for better tomorrow and alter yesterday's mistake. Despite many intellectuals think 15th August,1947 as change of government, I prefer to stick to mine opinion. All those who sacrificed blood and life for this country were not fools and they deserve respect from our side. And there is also no use of silent gratitude for all martyrs. They deserve more than these patritoc songs, they deserve more... I know that hundred years of rule did not just colonize the land but it also colonized the body, mind, thought and culture of the conquered people. Independence to the Indian people was supposed to have come over 62 years ago but we are not free because of the brown sahibs surrender an...

A man far greater than you or me, Mahatma Gandhi gave us a talisman “ Recall the face of the poorest and weakest man you have seen, and ask yourself if this step you contemplate is going to be any use to him. ” I see this line in class 1st in ncert books. I was able to read this line in class 3rd in Hindi book. I understand true meaning of these magical words at this phase of life. I don't know when I will feel those words ? Leave this idealistic talk one way, be practical for a while. FYI, I have done a small share of mine social responsibility. I have just taken fees burden of Sruthi [ Profile ] completely and Hemant [ Profile ] partially for this academic year. This is made possible through a NGO , Sankalp Foundation . I had enquired about this NGO completely before helping the students in their educational endeavours. Arun Tangri [ CSE -06, ITBHU ] is the person who had arranged all the formalities and meeting with the parents of Sruthi and Hemant . Reason to take cre...

Lyrics : Varun Grover Sung By: Sumeet Raghvan Music : Claver Directed By: Abhigyan, Varun, Jeevak and Rahul Sure a big controversy will arise and I am waiting for moral scavengers to attack on this show [ Streisand_effect ]. My personal reason to cheer it, off course Varun Sir and plain satiric truthfulness of opening song.
