After a successful trial run, during off-peak hours, when the compartment was only as crowded as the Delhi Metro during peak hours, I felt encouraged to go on a full-fledged trip in the Mumbai local train.
I leave it to you to decide whether a degree provides its holder ‘edification’ and ‘culture’ — two of the words thrown up by the thesaurus to define education.
Old stereotypes as far as men are concerned still exist to a large extent and have not completely given way to the new, caring men.
