Lokpal and Anna Hazare
By introducing the Lokpal, Congress party is planning to execute a masterstroke which will take air out of sail of Anna Hazare and Opposition parties. Once the Lokpal bill is passed through both the houses of parliament, there will be no agenda left for team Anna. Probably, this is the main reason of Anna's anger. Moreover, for reasons which are beyond comprehension, Anna's decision to shift the venue of fast from Delhi to Mumbai has further eroded his saleability. Indians are anyway loath to harp on an idea for a long time. They want new masala, every time, in a reality show. Anna's reality show has lost its TRP and even electronic media is growing weary of team Anna and its mobocracy. Forthcoming assembly elections in five states will give more food for thought to the media and to the public and Anna's cause will be lost in the din. Thanks god, at least many of us will get rid of the opprobrium caused by Team Anna and its so called 120 crore supporters.

Mad World of Tuition in India
It's another early foggy morning of north India. Teenagers in all hues of winter wear are rushing out of their home. No! No! this is not a sign of health consciousness in an otheriwse lethargic country. They are rushing to attend their tuition classes.
Causes and excuses are many. Teachers not delivering in schools, parents not having time or inclination to do homework for their kid's needs. So the easy way out is forking out extra bucks for getting the proverbial extra edge for their kids in examinations.
As per a recent report published in The Times of India, parents, on an average spend about Rs. 87000 per year for supplementary study if their children are studying in higher secondary school. CBSE coaching is a rage in the country as it is supposed to open the gates of dream instituitons of India, and later for dream careers.
Gone are the days when parents or some uncle or elder cousin used to give tips for board examination. But nobody is complaining. Not even those private tutors who are singing all the way to the bank. The ultimate sufferes, kids, must be ruing over their lost childhood.
