Lack of awareness
Do not take your organs to heaven, heaven knows that we need them hereâ€, are well known lines. Transplants are one of the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine which depends entirely on the generosity of donors whether living or deceased.
The path of non-alignment
Ever since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the West and in particular the advocates of capitalist economy have made continued attempts to interpret it as an end of Marxism.
Time to change our tactics
I find most of the comments that poured in from all directions and made by many a self-styled expert after the Delhi High Court blast immature, to say the least. The entire strategy to contain the terrorists and terror attacks needs to be revamped in the changed scenario.

Innovation way forward
According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) figures, India has 899 million subscribers. However, its month on month growth is less than one percent. Tele-density is upwards of 70 percent, which means that 75 out of every 100 Indians had a phone.
Team Anna’s Limitation
Which of the statements of Arvind Kejriwal are correct? The one he delivered in Hisar or in Banda. In Hisar he apparently informed the media that this election would change the nation’s fate. But in Banda he made a U-turn and said Anna movement would have no impact on by-election results.
