Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who is faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.  The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he’d sit under a tree and relax before resuming the race.  He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as an undisputed Champion. This is the version of the story we’ve all grown up with. The moral of the story is slow and steady wins the race. The story continues…. The hare was disappointed at losing the race and did some soul search...

 No! This is unfair to employee working.

Now the wife or sister, who works at the domestic front will get salary from Husband or the head of the house. This has been ruled by the court, I belive.
Prashant Varshney  |  Argues in support of  |  1 year ago
I do agree with Sarika's view. Why should you interfere in one's personal life? It will be better if you give employment to the unemployed wife/mother/sister of your male employee.
Sarika Singh  |  Argues in support of  "No! This is unfair to employee working."  |  1 year ago
It is a good initiative. But some how I feel that a man gives all his salary to wife and she handles the finance dept. so why should company do that? There can be many other things that you can do than this.

In my point of view, the main reason for corruption is our desire to have more and more money/facilities. If any scientist discovers any method of suppressing this desire, then only corruption may be stopped.
Sarika Singh  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  1 year ago
I am not a pessimist.. So I believe that one day corruption will be removed from our system. We all should know about RTI and only then we will be able to use it. So spread the awareness.

Congress party has become a gang of dyeing in harness beneficiaries(Mritak Ashrit) with no good qualities and they are collectively and unitedly looting the country. Kalmadi is a small pin.
Prashant Varshney  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
Kalmadi is himself a great player of corruption game.So, I don't think that he was used by masterminds.
Ravali  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  1 year ago
I think he is not the root of the scam and the real people are still out there free planning some other scam.

Quality education should made available in all parts of the country & the fee structure should be applicable on the economic condition of the student. Thanks for referral, Sarika,
Prashant Varshney  |  Argues in support of  |  1 year ago
we are having many who are schooled but very few who are educated. Quality education does not imply getting certificates/degrees only, rather it should make people more understandable of world around them and being able to give them employment. Quality...
