For every profession there is a course here. And mind you, you are not qualified to even start your own business until you have the license to run your SBU (small business unit, read home business) , or that you must have done a short/long course and have a certificate to prove it. In the early days, I did not pay much attention to it, but now that I'm R&Ding it, I'm simply not happy. Too many restrictions or a very well-organised system - don't know which side to choose! Starting with the education system, while the schooling is free, all that you might have saved, flows out as university fees. Another alternate to this situation is that most students begin working and then either go to college later or do a certificate course. As I'm told, having a university degree is great but even a certificate will do. As an international student the education fees are usually higher or sometime more than double the fees paid by UK nationals. Even in India, we do not charge...

My earliest memories of making faces at the swear words (like sala ) goes back to my nursery days. I was programmed by the elders in the home to give a sullen look whenever someone used ' sala ' while talking. My oh my! I was too good at spotting this 4 lettered word. With each passing years my vocabulary multiplied with razor-sharp and accurate insults in Nepali, Malayalam, Hindi and of course the other tongue (read English). The small section of population that consists of people like me who have lived in hostel all their life can vouch that the first thing they learnt in any new language was how to swear at others in their language! In Rome- do as Romans do! Haah !

India has abundance of EVERYTHING and shortage of NOTHING, just that all of it is distributed unevenly. I mean look at the climate, while some parts of the country are freezing, some are wet, few normal and some dry like a desert. Some literate, most illiterate, some peace-loving and most fighting. Yet, everyone is busy with their own lives to least care on how it’s affecting their living area (not drawing room. Huh!)! I was time-wrapped at least eight months back to the lifestyle in India and began comparing it to that in the UK and felt myself fortunate that I have seen a better form of civilisation. No offence to my nativezens, but India sure needs lots of polishing and punishments to set itself on the right path. Know why? See this -
