What is being Indian all about?

frags — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:30:30 GMT

I thought of starting 2009 with an interesting topic. I have been reading so much about being Indian in mainstream press and the internetz...

Such as this article:

That particular article questioned the so called unequal distribution of Indian representatives in Parlaiment.

This lead me to the question on how we define someone as being Indian. I know others may beg to differ but if seen from a nationalistic perspective, we obviously aren't ...

What Makes Science 'Science'?

rishi — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:17:08 GMT

source : http://www.the-scientist.com/article/display/55033

As a science educator, I train science graduates to become science teachers. Over the past two years I've surveyed their understanding of key terminology and my findings reveal a serious problem. Graduates, from a range of science disciplines and from a variety of universities in Britain and around the world, have a poor grasp of the meaning of simple terms and are unable to provide appropriate definitions of key scientific terminology. ...

A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head.

The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead! What can I do?"

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back ...

Some guys seem to always get the girls. If you have a girl you want to woo, there are steps you can take to attract her interest. Follow these steps and you will be able to begin to woo the girl.

Take care of your personal hygiene. Even girls who like their guys on the rough-looking side want them to be clean. Make sure you shower and freshen your breath before encounters with the girl you have your eye on.

LOCAL university students are intellectually weak, not because they get involved in politics but, because they are too lazy to study, says a backbencher.
