Confessions of a Braces Wearer

'BRACES' the very word reminds us of the famous daily soap   'Ugly betty'   and it’s super hit desi version ‘Jassi jaisi koi nahin’. True, braces are considered by many as the sign of a person being unattractive. They actually enhance a person’s beauty -   aligning and straightening teeth and helping to position them with regard to a person’s bite, while also working to improve dental health. It totally depends on us whether we see the glass half full or half empty. It is nowadays common to see people with braces on their teeth. Just a decade or so ago, it was a relatively rare to come across a person with dental braces - but that has changed.          However, my problems with braces was different. Being a kid who had spoiled her teeth in the worst possible way ever, I feared the pain associated with them rather than the look after wearing them. Thus I always managed to convince my mom that no matter what age I was of, I was always too young to wear them. Afte

Booming Coaching Industry in India

Coaching Institutes today have become a means of earning fast money. In fact in today’s era it is the most booming business. When the entire world seemed to be under the doom of   recession, coaching was the only flourishing business. According to media resources, the turnover of Bansal Classes, ’The king of all coaching institutes for IIT-JEE’ rose from 18 crores to a whopping 60 crores. Not only does the institute increase the capacity of seats each year but also hikes its fees. And yes ,parents are ready to pay any amount just to see their children amongst the best in the country!     When I was in the first grade, coachings were meant for children who were slow at learning and being a topper they certainly weren’t my cup of tea. As I grew coaching to me meant a way of making new friends and having a good time. I still remember the day I forced my parents that I will stop studying if they don’t send me for tutions, after all I too want to have a good time! But I had to hide it fro

Smoking:Can one really quit whenever he wants!

"I will quit smoking whenever i want to", a statement most of us might have heard from our friends who are regular n chain smokers. No matter how much smoking may harm them , whenever asked to quit they will zip your lips with this statement. But the question is. Will they actually be able to quit when they want to?

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES NEED TRADE ,NOT AID

There has been a continuing discussion about the impact of economic, and especially financial, aid on the development of underdeveloped countries. (I do not have in mind humanitarian help in catastrophic situations but aid as an economic phenomenon). India being a developing country is a perfect example of a nation that needs trade and not financial aid for it's development. There is usually a huge gap between the foreign aid rhetoric and foreign aid reality. It is in the interest of the foreign aid community (which is a specific rent-seeking group) to make the gap as wide as possible. Its form and structure is not very good either, because it is based on the interests of the donors, not on the needs of those who are supposed to receive and use it. The interests of the donors, concealed in their missionary moral progressivist rhetoric, are very “earthly”. As a result, much of foreign aid is wasted. And, finally, we should know that the aid is never free. It is, in many cases, very
