Fraud

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Fraud must learn the concept of Divine justice ·        ‘It seems not to be true that there is Power in the universe which watches over the well-being of every individual with parental care, bringing all within His fold to a happy ending. On the contrary, the destinies of men are incompatible with any universal principle of justice. Earthquakes, flood and fires do not distinguish between the good and devout man and the sinner and unbeliever…..  It is by no means the rule that virtue is rewarded and wickedness punished. It often happens that the violent, crafty and unprincipled seize the desirable goods of this world and while the pious go away empty… the concept of Divine justice, which,...

Life that rivals the best fiction

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Life that rivals the best fiction ·        Life that rivals the best fiction is best life if it is best in itself. Life is like the best fiction; however things those look exciting in reading may not be in experiencing it. Living exciting life may not be as good as reading about it.    You discover your taste ·        When you discover that you read nothing but a particular thing, you know what you are interested in. When personality becomes shadow ·         Accentuated use of any one mental function renders others inoperative. Personality is like having the shadow run wild and an individual regresses in...

Challenging Fallacies

  By  Quitaba Ansari Challenging fallacies ·         All foreign qualified administrators are good. If one is good then he must be foreign qualified and if not, then must not be so. ·         Only fool can believe in old axiom: ‘If people ever discover difficulties task entails they will never launch themselves on it’ because people despite difficulties launch themselves on tasks. ·         If this scholarship is for students those have passed grade 9 then students of grade 11 are eligible.    ·         First position can not be given to a boy as he has obtained below 80%; and first position has always gone before for above 80%. ·         Law states that male (member of) faculty must teach this subject; but court rules that college A does not violate the law despite female (membe...

Election never takes place despite taking place

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Election never takes place despite taking place ·         The most interesting feature of an election in the controlled democracy is that it never takes place; it is just the periodic exercise to lend spurious plausibility to ‘peoples’ representative . Susceptibility has limits ·         People are susceptible to media-mediated persuasions but they are not susceptible to change on a media timetable. Wonders occur ·        When predictions that nothing can be dome do not become a justification for passivity, wonders occur. Nation is doomed ·       Nation is doomed if it allows i...

Schadenfreude

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Schadenfreude ·         Unhappiness of others is often because of our happiness achieved through mistaken means. It is not schadenfreude but equally if not more disgusting. Fallacy of associating two different meaning to same/one word ·         ‘The president cannot work miracles’ is Obama’s mantra but he has already done so by becoming the unprecedented president. The miracle Obama refers is of delivering things in post-election period not the miracle of winning election.      Reading nothing despite reading bodes well ·        Search for quality material starts when one having read something ...

Vices of virtue

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Vices of virtue ·         Vices have no virtue but one can have vices of his virtue. Ultimate logic ·         If person cannot disagree with your views despite finding them disagreeable, the arguments of yours carry ultimate logic.   Praise a candidate you do not want to win ·        Political marketing consultant must start singing eulogies to a candidate; he does not want to win but cannot stop from winning. Strings of superlative must be tied to fuel surreal expectation of magical social and political transformation so to create with ease the perception of constant failure in a post-election period.  ...

F English Department

Anne Bradstreet is right to find spring pleasant because of hash winter. Prosperity would not be so welcome if we did not sometimes taste of adversity. I am comfortably at home with the immediate application of the saying: ‘Sweet are The Uses of Adversity’ as ‘it is one of the paradoxes of nature that if one wishes to increase something one must expend’. I wish I could be sanguine. But I invariably have an air of overpowering despondency in going through the e valuation of knowledge acquisition techniques and methods as I realize (and believe students do as well along the way) drudgery has no redeeming features and sweet would not be The Uses of Adversity . Understanding that why students bubbling up with joy soon fizzle out like a wet cracker then begins to dawn.   Students would soldier on, if deep down they know plodding through a mountain of material is worth the time. And ‘Our misfortunes are but the signposts pointing the way to the true road to success’ On the con...

Scientific propaganda

By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by Prof DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Scientific propaganda ·         Scientific propaganda presents interpretation of facts as facts. Thing that cannot be measured can be empirical ·        ‘Thing or statement that cannot be measured is non-empirical’. It can only be true if a statement cannot be measured because it cannot be measured not because one cannot measure it.     Research rises by itself ·         ‘No single research study stands alone, nor does it rise or fall by itself’. But the research that has no precedence rises itself but not fall by itself.   A real ticklish work ·       ...
