Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...
yes..they are deliberately trying to make it look like natives doing the attack. The terrorist guy who called the media today and told he's from hyderabad was actually speaking in a pakistani accent...
ReplyDeleteWe could form a public forum ( as in a real world forum not an internet one ) and demand the authorities to step up.
ReplyDelete@praveen: If they can put the blame on natives it can put investigation off the track and perhaps help mobilise public anger as well.
ReplyDelete@CO: You are right. Internet forums are practically useless to get something really done. Putting faces to purpose is the only way to go.
