For the last two days , all the students have been sitting on protest in adverse climatic conditions but still, the administration has been completely apathetic in meeting satisfactorily even any one of them. @SBAnluo #NLUOprotest

Great lesson in there! Branding is key. “Make in India” sounds cool. So clearly should have worked and made India more innovative in this short time. Time to celebrate our rise in these “rigorous” rankings!

Whoa! Law sneaks an edge over medicine. Who would have thought? My dad didn’t speak to me for almost a year for picking law against medicine and engineering.

Replying to @AnantBhan
"I studied law after that and have been practicing law since then, which not only offers better pay but also has less burden. The effort that goes into studying medicine and becoming a doctor is not rewarding, neither by money nor by appreciation,” she said

What rubbish! In my limited experience with courts, very few read. And fewer still who read “every word”! If they actually read every word, they’d have cut short cumbersome counsels habituated to longwinded lectures on the law. And we wouldn’t have suffered this kind of pendency!

#CourtroomExchange CJI Ranjan Gogoi: Judges don't come without reading the papers; every word, every sentence is read. It may be worth it, may not be worth it, but it is read. Justice Rohinton Nariman - It is often not worth it. (Everyone laughs)
