Why is French the only foreign language offered in most schools in Bangalore? Is there a more useless language? If we are preparing our kids for the future, Mandarin should be the offered foreign language!

@ManeeManjunath Alliance Francaise did a great job for so many decades - so tons of French teachers. And that France was a colonial power who wanted to spread French. Next to no effort by china to encourage mandarin

@paviraksha A word of warning - the Tamil is the spoken register; not written formal. Takes a bit of getting used to

@paviraksha If they still have the Bahadur elephant series (in Tamil also), those are great fun! More so if you do the voices and everything Bondapalli is another one; the sneezing elephant (forgot what it’s called; by Ashok Rajagopalan); there’s one about Malli. Just pick up anything

@rayyanspeaks Sonna yaaravadhu keppanga? Let’s give chicken, mutton and fish by all means - as chicken, mutton and fish - not as rice. We know very well that each child will not get even a small piece if you put it in a biryani. Schemes should come with common sense

@AffluentMist Creepy! The way he's looking at her and the fact that she's big enough to wear a leg chain makes it even creepier. This is beyond fatherly affection.

I learned about the Indian caste system, after I got to know what reservation is. This is a personal story. In 12 years of my schooling, my parents always taught me to treat everyone with equal respect, with no discrimination. In Standard 12th, while filling the IIT-JEE form, I asked my dad about the category section. He told me to tick general. I didn't even know which category of caste I was in. That was the extent of my knowledge on the Indian caste system then. I got a good AIR, and I secured my admission in IIT Madras in Mechanical Engineering. Upon reaching the college, we were allotted our rooms. The room was double occupancy, so I got a roommate. I won't tell his name, because people find caste in names. The very first exam we had was in a Mathematics course. I passed with flying colors, but he failed. In the evening when I saw him, I asked him to show me his paper. Even some basic differential equation and number systems questions, he had answered wrong. I was honestly surprised. I asked him, bro, how can you get these wrong. These type of questions, we even had in our JEE paper. He just deflected my question. But, in a few days time, I sensed something was wrong. Because he failed even the Engineering Physics exam (which also had many JEE level questions). Out of concern, one day I asked him, why is he failing these basic exams. 60-70% were JEE level questions. He should be able to at least answer that. And then he told me his JEE marks on which he secured the admission. I was surprised, and taken aback. You see, those days, cut off marks was not declared publicly. And when he told me his marks, there was a significant difference. My first reaction was that it's not fair. Why is he allowed to come to IIT Madras on his low marks while I studied way harder to secure my seat. My second reaction was disappointment when he told me his dad was a IPS officer, and he too secured it basis reservation. I will be honest. I actually did not speak to him for a few days. But after 7-8 days, I told him that it's very disrespectful to what he is doing with the opportunity he has got. He should focus on studying and not waste it. Imagine a student who got in even though he was complacent with his studies. He even had a fair starting line, resource and money to prepare for the exam (unlike poor students). Honestly, once his dad availed the benefit, he shouldn't have. But, he did. Nothing against him. He didn't do anything illegal. But it's a flaw in the system. After some time, we became good friends. I constantly tried to help him in studies, but he couldn't grasp many things. Some other seniors also tried to help him with how and what to study, but it didn't help him either. He got a year back, then another year back and then he dropped out. I realized how reservation has both merits and demerits. On one hand, it allows the underprivileged students to get a fair starting line. That's affirmative action. I believe that is required. But, along with that, some preparatory courses are also required. Reservations don't apply to college internal exams. What's the point of affirmative action if a person can't cope up with the internal exams? On the other hand, I realized how many students, even if they had a fair starting line, utilize reservation to get into prestigious colleges, with much lesser hard work. Honestly, they don't deserve that seat. That seat belongs to a meritorious student. If one person has availed reservation, and uplifted himself or herself, reservation to his/her next generation should cease to exist. And that's why I believe in the below three:- 1. One Nation, One Cutoff 2. One Generation, One Reservation 3. Fair Exams. Fair Starting Line If the concept of reservation is tweaked with the above ethos, it will ensure both the things - fairness to all students, and affirmative action where it is required due to limited access to resources and opportunities. #reservationhataomovment #EndReservationNow

The hypocrisy of the TVK government stands exposed once again today. When Tamil Thai Vazhthu was relegated to the third position during the swearing-in ceremony, TVK defended itself by claiming that it was compelled to follow a new Union Government order. Aadhav Arjuna himself assured that this would not continue and that Tamil Thai Vazhthu would be accorded its rightful place in future. But on 9 July, the Union Home Ministry itself clarified the protocol: where a State Song is rendered, it should be sung first. Yet today, at the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University convocation,named after the very author of Tamil Thai Vazhthu,the song was once again pushed to the third position. What happened to the promise? If the Union Government's clarification was the excuse yesterday, what is the excuse today @TVKVijayHQ ? The most disturbing part is not just the protocol violation but the silence of TVK that has chosen not to utter a word when Tamil Thai Vazhthu itself is denied its rightful place. This further reiterates that the TVK government's words are meant only for the stage. When it is time to defend Tamil's dignity through action, they fall conspicuously silent.

தமிழ் எங்கள் உயிருக்கு நேர் என்ற முழக்கம், நம் தமிழ்நாட்டு மண்ணின் உயிர் முழக்கம். எங்கள் தமிழ் மண்ணில் தமிழை மூன்றாம் இடத்திற்குத் தள்ளுவதை ஒருநாளும் ஏற்க மாட்டோம். மாநிலப் பாடலுக்கு மரியாதை தரப்படும் என்று அறிவித்துவிட்டு, இப்போது அப்படியே மடைமாற்றி, தமிழகத்தின் மாநிலப் பாடலான தமிழ்த்தாய் வாழ்த்தை மூன்றாம் இடத்திற்குத் தள்ளுவது கடுமையான கண்டனத்திற்கு உரியது. நம்முடைய எதிர்ப்பைப் பதிவு செய்வதற்காகத்தான், தமிழக அரசின் சார்பில் மனோன்மணியம் சுந்தரனார் பல்கலைக்கழகப் பட்டமளிப்பு விழாவைப் புறக்கணித்தோம். தமிழக மக்களின் உணர்வைப் புரிந்துகொள்ளாத ஆளுநர் அவர்களைக் கண்டிக்கிறோம். ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசின் இத்தகைய போக்கு, மாநில உரிமையைப் பறிக்கும் செயல். இதைத் தமிழக மக்கள் ஒருபோதும் ஏற்க மாட்டார்கள் என்பதை கண்டனத்துடன் ஆழமாகப் பதிவு செய்கிறோம்.
