I experienced the practice of spitting while I was traveling in a Bus. The person who was sitting before me spat through the window. It came and fallen on me. The person who spat simply laughed at me and gave a free advise that i should have closed the window shutter.

India has already started softening its stand vis a vis China on issues like South China Sea or granting of visas or removing trade hurdles, where it had earlier taken hard stands. Chinese may want more from India and also USA before they soften their stand against India. Real politiks.

Indian atmosphere is full of dust and that is also one reason why even persons who do not chew tobacco frequently spit especially those who remain outdoors for long time. Yes they should exercise restraint when in cleaner atmospheres.

Please do and let us observe rather than discussing and doing nothing. Fall back option is always there.

Can such system be introduced here ? Will it be free from unfair ways ?. If so, Please implement. The idea is this site should attract others more and more new members. It serves the purpose of both the site and and the member.

I am still active on one such site that pays you for 10 forum posts a day but you are free to write as many as you like. They are very strict but pay you as soon as you reach your payment threshold ($5).

We Indians regardless of caste and creed are champions at spitting whenever we feel like. I am constantly reprimanding students not to spit around the school campus, more so now because of Ramadaan fasting . Even otherwise this is a national shame , seen only in India..

usha manohar replied to the topic The Other Side of Intelligence! .
What is important is absorbing what you study and being able to recall it since education is all about information, knowledge and learning which helps us all through our life . Career is a modern day concept , we see that earlier education was mainly for seeking knowledge. But now the subjects and study materials are formulated in such a way that it enhances the chance to get a job. So, many subjects seem useless for a student who is concentrating on a particular line of knowledge. I hear many students ask me why do we have to study social studies and 3 languages , since they have to learn the state language Kannada, Hindi and English which is the language of study. They don't seem to realise that any kind of knowledge is an advantage to them. But again unless people understand there is not much use to any kind of knowledge that is thrust on them.

usha manohar created new topic What does success mean?.
Success is something everybody is after and each individual has his/her own definition of success. Does success give us happiness or is our happiness linked to success/ The more you think the more you realise that happiness is a state of mind..What does success mean to you ?

usha manohar replied to the topic What do most Indians do while travelling abroad.
True, I have heard many foreigners say that Indians look alike with black hair, back eyes and sharp features..But once they travel through India they realise the vast difference in facial structure, color of complexion and other features that are unique to a particular region of our country.

NPT will be a very difficult proposition because unless all nations agree it cannot become a reality with China opposing the entry of India. Efforts are on but it may not materialise any time in the near future as things stand now !

It is well known fact that Sanskrit is mother of all other languages.
Sanskrit is probably the mother of all Indian languages , not world over since there are so many dialects spoken across the world..

There was once a site similar to this which closed down and many members joined in here and I too was a member there for sometime ..One thing good about the site was the equal opportunity it gave for all its members . Members could take part in discussions but only a certain number of posts each day would fetch them points after which they were free to post but no remuneration. I feel we need to bring that rule here as well so that more members get active and feel that their work is being appreciated.

usha manohar replied to the topic No freedom of expression for IAS .
I remember a time in the recent past when a few friends would post hate speech and videos through my time life on Facebook..Of course I deleted them from my friend list and also changed my privacy settings. When there is hatred and an intention to create hatred among others some people go all out without any ethics or shame !
