kindergarten syllabus in some schools !!!

we tried to find a suitable play school (UKG)for our 4 year child. we checked with one of the popular (?) school for the same. We were shocked to hear the principal telling us that syllabus includes Maths, sciences, social studies and GK (for general knowledge !) for this little children.
Where we heading? what will happen to those children growing up like this?

Jai ho! jai jai hoo! Governor Narasimha !!! for dissmissing the vice chancellor of SK university

in an extraordinary manner, the Governor of Andrapradesh dismissed the vicechancellor of Sri krishna devaraya university (Ananthapur). Mrs.Kusuma Kumari, the disgraced vice chancellor, as found out the investigation report has committed several wrongs.
The way this disgraced lady spoke to the media brought out more of her nature than any thing else. it is easily visible she is caste oriented, politically motivated and intellectually bank rupt.
More such actions are needed, Sir. All right thinking citizens see a ray of hope in your actions. Go ahead, clean this dirt from the society!!!.
Jai ho!

Indian Idol? or Punjabi Idol or some regional idol !!!?

I rarely watch TV programs. i was watching the Sony TV indian Idol on August 2nd night. Bright, very well talented youngsters, Bhoomi, Sreeram, Swaroop and Rakesh made it to the last four. Now the number of SMS votes will decide, which one will be Indian idol.Few, deliberate things done surprised me great deal. The hysterical “hussain” anchor and his co-anchor repeatedly calling one contestant named “Rakesh” as Punjabi puttar, and the way Rakesh received with bhangra and sent off in style, along with exuberant and skewed words and encouragement to him, which is conspicuously not extended to Sreeram, who is obviously the best of all, but not from the Punjab or hindi belt area. I thought the judges too perhaps are not displaying neutral attitude,saying a negative word, or negative gesture which can create self doubt and leads to loss of confidence , were up to this in a systematic manner. In that case, how this can be called as Indian idol contest, it should be a Punjabi idol or something like that. India never integrated in to one; we tend to give a positive spin saying unity in diversity, while remaining essentially diverse and at times divisive. I won’t be surprised if “Rakesh” be declared SONY TV Indian,sorry Punjabi idol on 15^th August.

I also recollect couple of years back one “karunya” a great talent from Hyderabad was done in; leading to crowing of another less talented youngster.
