happenings...

Well, i've been home 4 a long time now...over a month,i guess! Thanks to that, i've become addicted to orkut! i wake up with orkut..., eat,sleep n drink orkut.My arm's kind of fine and know what, i've become ambi-dextrous!!

Folks, did u all notice any changes since karunanidhi's swearing in?
Route boards on buses now display Kalaignar nagar, instead of k.k.nagar!
Wonder if the change'll be reflected elsewhere too...
The reservation issue seems to be rocking the nation, but we tamilians have come to terms with it long back,i guess... We've learnt to live with it!
Its a joke- few communities have more seats than the number of takers!
How do you justify reservation in the case of post graduate courses , especially in medical and engg. streams?? when they've "enjoyed equal exposure to quality education" and other such oft-quoted status phrases, during under grad...
I heard someone on screen argue in favour of reservation , saying , o.c candidates don't really stay to serve the nation after they complete their studies -they just leave abroad... why'd they, if offered equal opportunity here?
However noble the intentions behind reservation might be, the point they're driving to the masses is:
"Whether u bother to study or not, we'll take care of u- just offer u seats".
It is a joke indeed!

the opinion about reservation varies among wide variety of people... everyone has a different opinion... but the purpose of the government, to treat the people equally seems to have been lost in the politics of reservation... if they say, it is for the upliftment for those people, they should stop calling as forward and backward people... everybody is same here... but this is an endless problem... the strike which some students and doctors are doing is totally misunderstood... the affected will always rise their voice... what if the government is going to take back what they have said about the reservation... then the other people will rise their voice... as long as there is politics in this, there is no solution...
