Dollar Democracy
THINKING about America makes me ponder the first word of the country’s official name: “United”. Various American states that were not united at one point and fought over the right to keep slaves: that is American democracy for those who have only known the US through Hollywood films, fancy Ivy League colleges and pop culture. But wait, that’s just the beginning.
A few days ago, someone commented while talking about the American election, “Just imagine, the issue of right to abortion is not even discussed in this election properly.” I smiled. I am an immigrant in this country with no voting rights. For me, It is a shame that the political conversation is about whether voters should elect someone (Donald Trump), who instigated a mob of rioters to storm the Capitol Hill building to support Trump’s attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. But then American politics is a big circus.

Indian Education Gets Universally Competitive & Appealing
On the threshold of pursuing an education befitting a future of professional and personal success is a testing time for parents and students, as well.

As more and more campuses have qualified or are levelling-up to meet the demanding standards at par with world-class education, it's interesting to observe what makes such institutions to stand tall as a link between the aspirations of students and their beckoning future.

The Storm Inside
“Under the dark shades of the one I have lost I have come again to the city of a tribe lost. Searching the earth taken under the fabric white Where children had buried their toys and lost. The trees are on fire melting the winter frost And night shedding its dark, but the beloved is lost.”
