Over the past couple of days, my friends and I had a rather intense discussion on the effectiveness of an Indian MBA and comparing it with a foreign MBA- an American one, mostly. Though none of us held an Indian MBA, one was doing his MBA in Canada. Rest of us are either in the pipeline or know a thing or two about the ground reality. Throughout our 22 mails that we exchanged on this topic, a few things were quite apparent. Although...

They have no parents to scold, but still they are not fighting.. Hi, I’m new here. I usually blog about technology, this is my first post off that category. I’m not sure how it will work out. Most of us are earning, some of us earn early, like in their pre teens, some people (like me), start earning in their teens and again some people start earning after completing studies and ‘mature’.

It might sound simple, but understanding needs knowledge of emotions, its causes and likely reactions and the impact of the reactions on others. Here is a simple example. Most of us will be uncomfortable...

So, from the first post, it is clear that the constitution unambiguously calls for a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. But why do we have all these different laws, even though we are an independent nation whose laws are guided by the constitution? The key to the answer lies in the history of these laws.
