Let’s face it. Passion is way overrated. The word passion itself is overused, over-abused and highly misunderstood.
Thanks to all the captions of the display pictures it has been used in, that have absolutely nothing to do with ‘passion’.
You ask almost anyone these days as to what do they wish to do? The stereotypical answer is ‘I want to follow...

Science has suffered a backlash because it hasn't become advanced enough to give us affordable flying cars. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Affordable flying cars in a world where half the population can't afford cars.
Seriously?
Do you mean that you have ignored everyday scientific research projects that have been very successful? Environmental changes and their impact on genetics, almost everyday research...

Who am I? I am Bihar. I form part of India’s border with Nepal and within, I neighbour Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and importantly, Jharkhand (wonder why Jharkhandis can’t stop calling themselves Bihari, because it’s certainly not a glamorous tag to carry westward).
The news of the Intermediate Humanities and Science toppers from the Bihar state board screwing up big...

During the Bihar elections 2015, when Modi praised Nitish Kumar in his speech, no one knew that two years down the lane there would be a JDU-NDA alliance.

The aim at that time appeared...
