How do bad educational institutions manage to survive?

I was discussing with a friend about the quality of education and educational institutions. So my friend pointed to an educational institution that isn't of good quality (no good teachers, no good placement record), but was getting good number of students. They had hiked their fees by around 40%, yet the demand hasn't come down. So I provided a hypothesis: "It's all about demand and supply. The government has been rather negligent and not starting / expanding the government educational…

Stock some fruits instead of snacks

Stocking some fruits in your home instead of stocking some snacks will reward you with good health. When when we go to the supermarkets, we tend to buy a lot of snacks items. Instead, buy some fruits. Keep them at home. Snack on fruits when you feel bored. Two years ago, I used to sit for writing work and to cut the boredom, I got some grapes and cucumber. Kept snacking on them while writing. Result was that I didn't…

Sai Sogadu – a good Uttara Karnataka food place in Bangalore

Ever since I had seen appreciation for this place almost 8 months ago, I had planned to visit this place in Rajajinagar. Last week, me and my friend had to visit, but we turned to OG Variar Bakery. Today, I went to this place and wrongly went to their "North Indian and Chinese" division. This is why here we say: to get food one must have a connection and be deserving. As we get down from the Rajajinagar metro, we…

What is inflation? Who gets the benefit of inflation?

Inflation is when the prices of essential goods increase. India is going through inflation. One may ask - "what's the problem with inflation?" The biggest problem is when inflation happens, but wages and salaries don't increase. This means... Suppose your salary is Rs. 25,000 per month. Last month, you bought your groceries for Rs. 2,000. This month, the same Rs. 2,000 will get you lesser quantity of groceries. Last month, you bought 10 bananas for Rs. 50. This month, you…

Law students in Karnataka right now have just one question: "when are the results coming out?" As per my astrological predictions, results should be out by around 10-15th March.

Affordable fruits

If you live in a posh locality, there are high chances that the price of fruits is very high these days. Some of the fruits that were badly neglected earlier and were only eaten by economically weaker sections, have now become costly, thanks to newspaper articles and youtube videos showing their importance. One such fruit is guava (Kannada: seebe hannu ಸೀಬೆ ಹಣ್ಣು ). Now guava is very costly. In this situation, it's tough to find fruits that are affordable. Banana…

Storing medicines – tablets and syrup bottles effectively

We all store medicines at home. It is a good idea to keep a few essential medicines (paracetamol) and a few more based on our medical condition. The tablets are usually manufactured on plastic "sheets" and sealed using thin aluminium foils. The aluminium foil contains all the details of the medicine like - the brand name, chemical name, caution information, manufacturing date, expiry date and batch number. As we start using the tablets and tear the aluminum foil, the details…

Banana – the savior fruit

Today I was traveling in a hurry. Just 5 minutes before getting into the cab, I felt a bit hungry. I didn't know what to grab. Would it be good? Would it be hygienic? Can I get it in a minute? I just reached the fruit shop right behind me and checked the fruits and there was banana. I picked one. Asked the price. The girl in the shop said Rs. 5/-! I just grabbed it, had it in a…

You think Fear of Missing out (FoMo) was invented by Western marketing agencies…

We've experienced FoMo (Fear of Missing out) since our childhood. You went to a shop to buy a toy. Your parents said you could buy it next week. The shopkeeper said, "I can't promise this toy will be available till next week. If someone buys tomorrow, it is gone forever. And we have only one piece of this toy. And this is a limited edition toy." Fear of Missing out has been very well used as a ploy by the…

Why is it called “business class”?

In flights, the seats that are costlier are called "business class". I never thought much about it. "Business class" tickets are costlier. The ones who can afford such tickets are the people who are into business. Going by this, we should have understood that you get richness by being in business and doing business. On the corollary, doing any amount of hard work in fixed jobs may give you very less returns! You can never make a fortune through fixed…
