Intensive Lessons

One of the pages on this blog that gets a lot of hits is Communist Quotes. I haven't been able to update the page as promised, irking some readers.

Well, despair no more. The guys at Chor-Bharti are doing it for us. For an assortment of the looniest stuff from the socialist block, read that blog regularly.

For the real fun stuff however, you need to go back to the bigger guys, like Dilip D'Souza. For instance, check out this amazing quote from Madam Suzanna Roy:

Nehru and Gandhi were generous men. Their paradigms for development are based on assumptions of inherent morality. Nehru's on the paternal, protective morality of the Soviet-style Centralised State. Gandhi's on the nurturing, maternal morality of romanticised village Republics. Both would work perfectly, if only we were better human beings. If only we all wore khadi and suppressed our base urges - sex, shopping, dodging spinning lessons and being unkind to the less fortunate. Fifty years down the line, it's safe to say that we haven't made the grade. We haven't even come close.

This comes from someone who probably banged half her graduating class in Architecture school and thereafter kept shagging every director that came her way (some twice her age and married too) to land two-bit roles. Her only novel so far features a brother and sister duo who can't keep their hands off each other. She builds bungalows that invites court summons. Some urge control this.

Anyway.

There is a lot of news on the quota front. RealityCheck and Lex are providing good coverage. As usual a lot of people are hopeful that instead of being a temporary obstacle to another socialist ponzi scheme, this may actually yield something good. I am sorry to burst your bubble, the quotas will come, it is a matter of time.

I think the picture is getting a lot clearer now. Soon a law will be enacted to take away the autonomy from IIMs. There is already talk of a constitutional amendment. I believe at the very least, those who made it through the OBC quotas this year will have their seats preserved for the next session. But the Government will try it best to get them in this session.

What this means is that the admissions may get delayed till September, or even December. The guys who make it to IIT/IIMs this year will get a taste of "accelerated learning". Yours truly has some experience in that department. Man, it sucks. Marathon classes at breakneck speed, groupmates screaming that the assignment was due yesterday.

To these students, my advise would be to stay off booze and that playboy magazine. Yeah, it might help to control those urges.
