I lost touch with Dr Lakshmi Vijayakumar and her family, who run a foundation called #SNEHA , which is into suicide prevention and they are doing a fantastic job about. I regret losing contact with them , as I'm sure they'll certainly consider looking into these supposed suicides
2. because of #NEETExams. If someone can get me the contact details , I'll be grateful and I'll do my little bit. #DMKmustfail in using this as a narrative - @ungalnanbar@CustosLegis_Jay@jananisampath these are the ones who come to my mind , just anyone, please
Our interpretation of constitutional law has become a classic example of human stupidity. Let me explain.
The common law is our law by virtue of Article 372 of the constitution. It is founded on two simple principles, ‘res judicata’ and ‘stare decisis’, namely, precedent.
Res judicata means a decision in a case between A and B will bind and them, but not C and D who were not parties to it, in other words, it will not bind 'res inter alios', namely, third parties. The doctrine of 'stare decisis' or precedent means that the reason for the decision,
When I was in school, I was one among the 5 chosen for republic day parade, at Delhi. Very young , a trip to Delhi was far important than the parade itself, which I realised later was a fallacy.. those few days were to change the course of my life in later days, when I was
seriously contemplating leaving the leftists movement (it was very difficult those days, as I was holding office right from my SFI days - a part of these harsh realities later was depicted in the Tamil magazine KALKI in a serial story); was growing up, and was keen on doing well

testing is completed they've recovered - I don't understand the logic - do you ? @thangapushpam03@pardhu_leo ? Temples are closed/ Normal life has now become a new normal which people seem to be forgetting - added to this was my surgery ,which another dimension to the new normal

Soon after receiving him at the airport with formal pleasantries, I took him in our company cab,

I think he initially hesitated to say this, but after some
familiarity & comfort, he opened up & said that India has good talent but is unfortunately very underdeveloped. I was quick to remind him that India was actually a superpower till the 10th Century, and pointed out to him that this was all due to the 500 years of Mughal rule &
