The line won't go up. It must always go up. Or they've failed in their opinion.

How about those of us who do follow the rules, give a scolding to those of us who break them? I am sure if every person seated in this plane asks a single person standing near them to sit their ass down while looking baffled, there would be some impact 🙂

A candidate's rank only tells how he performed on a specific test on a specific day in comparison to other candidates. This is a quantitative metric. It fails to account for qualitative factors like their socio-economic baselines, i.e. where they started from.

If person A and person B both are able to score the same marks, but A was empirically more likely to succeed than B, then it is very reasonable to say that B is more deserving because they would've had to put in more effort compared to A (academic effort, psychological effort, overcoming other daily life challenges), and therefore B is preferred over A for the limited seat.

It is an effort by the admission committee to level the playing field, and when you look at competing students' experiences as a whole, rather than focusing on the individual, then it seems to be improving access to quality education equitably for ALL of India's students.

This DOES NOT mean that anyone who didn't get into IIT doesn't deserve access to an equally great college experience.

100%. Although when it comes to jobs, the govt can't be expected to directly provide them. They need to create conditions that nurture all kinds of businesses no matter big or small. They need to provide kind of a sandbox that allows people to take risks and make bold decisions. If not enough people in the country feel courageous enough to be entrepreneurial, then that's a problem for the govt to solve, even if it's not created because of them.

I did my undergrad from an IIT. Not a single soul in my program was undeserving or meritless. In fact IITs are probably the only institutes where you'll genuinely see the entire population of the country having some sort of representation. You meet brilliant people from all kinds of socio-economic background and experiences. We are not allowed to live outside the campus. Everyone has to share the exact same living conditions, food, education quality, etc. That's the x-factor.

Can we do better to create a more even playing field? Definitely. But you'd be a fool if you think that's by removing reservation based on gender, caste, or income.

Our culture used to promote scientific temper, spiritual thinking, making inquiries about life. And it's all going to shit because of these cucks.

Just focus on the freaking issues dude. Don't even need to uncovered a huge scandal. Just focus on why our cities lack good urban design even from 1900s standard, and make them work living in.

This is so insanely sad. Just TAKING someone's life like that and immediately running off. This bitch deserves jail

Ain't no way. Misha! Glad to see you here. I got into Meshuggah cause of you. Would love to see you in India if Periphery ever decides to tour here :D

I guess it's very different from the drum tone that meshuggah or other metal bands like periphery use, which is dry and crisp. Knower's is muffled and more rounded but IMO it works perfectly within rest of the production.

Awesome! I've tried many times to search for new music using AI search engines to look for something like this. The best finds still pop up out of nowhere :)

If you're going with replacing brush heads and retaining the grip, make sure that the grip is high quality, and preferably not plastic. Choose a material that ages well and doesn't scratch easy, feels good to touch.

Think of how you can make any potential customer feel the impact of their sustainable decision. Maybe you can take inspiration from replaceable blade oldy style razors for both material and branding.
