Well I have always wanted a irony series with news that I have read or instances of my blog posts or anything that contradicts each other and finally I’m starting it today.
I just want to point out the ironies nothing more than that and probably what I consider as Irony might not be the same for everyone.
Here are 2 slide shows from The Hindu(Chennai edition) online news paper
- Showing the newly beautified Marina beach done by the TN govt dated Dec 22 2009.
- Other one showing an Oil slick off Chennai dumped illegally by some ship off the coast dated Jan 6 2009.
What happens to the Doctorates?
Well the news is out the Govt. of India is derecognizing 44 so called deemed universities in India due to lack of infrastructure facilities. Finally some one in the Education department recognized it and blew the whistle.
Although I didn’t study in any of these universities but I have visited some of them during my UG time and they weren’t gr8 even then so I’m gonna assume world didn’t become flat in last 5 years.
An example for the so called deemed university standard is when some universities awarded doctorates to some south indian actors just like a freebie (Google it).
So will these actors return the so call doctorates since these universities are no more universities?
I hope at least from now on people think twice before accepting any kind of doctorates just for the fun of it. I’m sure actors work hard as well but Please don’t mix academics and acting it doesn’t go well keep them separate.
Oscar looks good with A.R.Rahman than with Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam. Doesn’t it?
