Parveen Bhai, manne lage hai thodi galti ho gayi hai aapse (see entries at rank 11,14,19 etc). GDP is measured as nominal or PPP (purchasing power parity). Nominal GDP is the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year converted in dollars. PPP is...

Dev Sir, Please go to the following link to see the college rankings (India Today also ranks them annualy though I could not dig it out). It doesn't seem to have Vellore in top 20. http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/jun/28spec.htm -Kismat

I think parents do make suggestions about the career path you should choose. They have an inclination towards more conventional options (mainly medicine and engg) because till some time back those were best bets to earn a living in India.

Rakesh, I am in Hampshire, give me a shout if you need any help. Cheers, Kismat

Slightly arrogant and immature I think he comes across as an arrogant and immature individual. His statement that he could have been PM had he wanted and the body posture during his speech in congress plenary session clearly shows that (he used very humble language in the speech but his posture...

Ashok, I believe the question is definitely worth discussing. No one is expecting you to justify your decision but understandings each other's perspective may very well help people refine their "metric points". aap nahin to koi mere jaisa informed decision le payega :) Cheers,

Poonam ji, its not just about the contribution to the motherland but to look at things as a whole especially in context of improving (though slowly) opportunities in India. And in the end what matters is how an individual look at things and its very much a personal decision. mere ko nahi pata ki...
