I used to go to tuitiona, when I was a High school student.This teacher used to conduct tuitions in a nearby Temple premises.. The number of students generally will be between 20 to 30. Almost a regular School class. He uses me to correct the other Notes of the students as I used to be  reasonably good student in my class. Another thing is some of the boys will be used to fetch the vegetables for the tuition master. There are these kinds of tuitions too.

I think as far as Congress is concerned its chapter is closed. You have hit the nail on the head. Yes, the Congress must pay for its sins. It is not enough that they are defeated in elections , but matters need to examined by a commission and Rahul, Chidambram and Sonia if required can be tried for treason. I have never heard of a national leader of any country  siding with a terror group like Chidambaram. What a shame. Mir Jafar did the same thing. So its a repeat of history.   You are right. Congress , though defeated,it should not be trusted. There shouldn't be any place for complacency. Any amount of carelessness may give an opportunity to this venomous snake to rise its hood again. Why only Chadambaram ? There are many Chidambarams in this party. They should be tried for treason.

This is two sides of the same coin. One needs both merit and experience. As far as government jobs are concerned ( except armed forces) there is hardly any meritocracy as there is a reservation of 50% on caste. I can't say about others but after I took an early release I have held some top appointments in the Civil including the UNO.Experience was preferred.But it cannot be a general rule

I use the paid version of one of the sites and I find its fine. The results are good and it's a healthy way to check in case you are writing on a number of sites like me.

Before joining Boddunan in 1911, I was a member in websites like IBIBO, My Page 5, I had written innumerable number of articles there. Even after joining here, I had written many articles. In all these websites, I never felt the necessity of knowing about any devise that's capable of finding whether a write up is plagiarized or not.

rambabu replied to the topic Too fat for auto .
I think every Bus traveler  must have experienced some kind of problem or other regarding seats. Once, a Mother and her two kids happened to sit by my side. It was a two seater. One f the child frequently snatches away my Novel and was causing lot of inconvenience to me. When I reported to the Conductor, he said bus was full loaded to the capacity. I had to adjust.

I have had many unpleasant experience while traveling long distance by bus having a really fat lady sitting next to me, occupying half my seat too. I normally ask the conductor and if the bus is not full,change my seat. But this always does not happen and one has no choice but to put up with the great inconvenience, if it is a seven or eight hour journey.

It need not be about conscience but more about knowing and being aware of new tools.

Everyone is happy in this situation but it also shows how our education system works..   Agree, honorary lectures have become very common in today's educational system. It's win win situation for both the side, retired people can make some money only for tutoring twice or thrice a month and schools and colleges can save money on full time teacher or professor. Here only one who suffers are students, they don't know whom to contact in case if they have any query with respect to particular topic. That's the whole point, it is a nexus between the school and college management and the tuition institutions. The lesser the studies at school  the more chances of the students going for tuition. So, the teachers and lecturers are getting double pay , at their school or colleges and tuition institutes. The one good thing here is that senior lecturers have an opportunity to work after their retirement. I know a teacher and another a Professor of a reputed university who neither took private tuitions during their job nor after retirement. Both of them feel that its against principle. They can still earn a lot but not ready to compromise. It is not illegal to give tuition, in fact they may be doing a service to the students by giving extra coaching . it need not be only about money..I know of many good teacher and lectures who teach well at their own colleges but also give tuition at coaching institutes , where students from all colleges come, some of them really in need of extra coaching.

All Politicians without exception are Power hungry. Their only motto is Loot as much as possible and earn money enough for 5 generations or if possible for more.

He was really a great teacher and is known for his excellent teaching methods. Many rich people offered my uncle very high fees to teach their children in his leisure time. But he politely refused them.
