Skewed notion?

As India ambitiously aims to become a developed nation by 2047, it cannot afford to overlook widely prevalent socio-economic inequities that hinder the path of true development
SIDDHARTH DEV VERMAN
Skewed notion?

India is gearing itself up to become a developed nation by 2047 or so, thus finally shedding its uncomfortable but presently tailored to fit garb of a developing nation. I for one will be more than happy to see the country reach that milestone though one may miss out on its benefits either due to advanced age or transition to the other side both inevitable milestones for me.

Many may say that India was already a very developed country and its regress into an under developed/developing country was all part of a colonial conspiracy. Our attempts to bring back crowns and jewels from the museums of colonial masters could perhaps be one way of progressing back to our foregone era. But the road to development has no shortcuts to the future or U-turns to the past. Besides, history does not have much currency in the present otherwise we would not be spending billions to reinvent the Tejas today!

Checkmate!

I was going to press it for as long as I could possibly press, but I thought, 'It's OK. We are going to play for five, six hours. It's going to end in a draw, and let's focus on the tiebreaks.' But then suddenly after Rf2, I saw [the game] was actually done. I was already preparing myself to go through that huge tiebreak fight and suddenly it was all over and I had achieved my dream. I'm not someone who shows a lot of emotions, but I think this one can be forgiven.\"
