PRAKALP SINGH TOMAR took the quiz POKEMON TRIVIA.
Pokemon is an all time favourite cartoon! Remember the tazos Cheetos used to give out! I remember the time everyone in my class used to compete to get the most number of tazos! It was a really fun cartoon and soon many games also evolved from the same! This quiz tests you on the basics. I used to love season 1 so all questions are going to be from there. ENJOY!!

usha manohar replied to the topic Today is workers' day .
Working class be it agricultural , factory or armed forces form the backbone of any society and they are also a neglected lot , probably because they come from the middle income group and are very large in number . Giving them a rise or any extra benefit cannot be done in a hurry because it is bound to make a huge dent in the budget. Fro time to time benefits are being added and pay scales increased..
Talking about teachers being paid less in private institutions- It is happening in Karnataka in almost all government schools where they have at least 20% of the staff on temporary terms and wages. Unless we pay a certain sum every time the pay check comes which is once in three months for dues that are six to seven months old, the check gets further delayed or sent back.

On top of the fast vanishing underground water, setting fires to forests and hillsides is another favorite pastime of Indians that might be worsening the drought problem. Indian farmers are known to set farmers under the belief that it makes the ground more fertile for future crops but experts disagree with it, as fragile ecosystems that are indigenous in nature get destroyed forever. I do not have much knowledge about the relationship of these fires with the depleting water, but such fires do increase pollution and temperatures. One such large scale fire has been raging for weeks in the Uttarakhand and I came to know about it only now through a Facebook page. Wonder why the government and media are both silent on such an important issue.

Yes this is being shown on all news channels since more than a week now..Normally when the summer heat is unbearable and tree branches dry out, there can be friction and become the cause of forest fire. I have seen it in western ghats and it is not easy to put it off because of the sheer volume it consumes. Such a pity that precious forest land is being lost !

Usha, he is not a bad writer in fact, I find his concepts and ideas to be quite relevant and in keeping with the modern times, he has understood the minds of Indian youth quite well. But t is the way he writes, is what I personally do not like much. I feel that reading such books with very easy, small sentences will keep the reader exposed to a very limited vocabulary and does not let the reader to exercise his or her brains in understanding the intricacies of the English language usage that is missing in Bhagat's works. Even James Hadley Chase books, very popular they may be, give us a better understanding of the language.
Chetan Bhagat's English is what most people in India would identify with. It is only the non resident Indians who grew up and studied in Britain , have an excellent command over the language . The other day I happened to read what Queen Elizabeth had to say about American English..." There is no such thing as 'American English', there is English and there are mistakes " . I would agree with that because no one could speak English as well as the British do ! The highly educated classes have perfect diction,grammar, pronunciation and a very attractive manner of speaking the language . It is a pleasure listening to their conversation..

To earn PUNYA.. Of course, there is one solution. One should go to a temple or a Mosque without wearing the Chappals at all. In this way people can achieve PUNYA without losing the Chappals.
