Origin of Reservations !
Let me start by asking you a question, will you vote for a Hijra in the candidate for PM elections ? Just give it a thought and see what you get. Now whatever you had in your head which came up due to your upbringing, neighborhood, location, religious beliefs, ethical beliefs etc, is the realm of equality and non-equality, that lies in the basic instinct of your thinking. This post is primarily applicable to India, where I come from. We have a mountain of issues related to Reservations and Equality. I might take it to a extreme case, but that necessarily not mean the situation is doomed, it is just for the purpose of explanation and giving a clear picture.
So why do we need Reservations ? The answer to it lies in the thought of how did originally the reservations came up. I am taking up the case…

HOW TO APOLOGIZE
THE CHALLENGE
You and your spouse/ partner have just had an argument. ‘I don’t need to apologize,’ you tell yourself. ‘I’m not the one who started it!’
You drop the issue, but the tension lingers. You reconsider apologizing, but you cannot bring yourself to say those simple words “I’m sorry.”

Teaching Naked, Part 1
Women don’t want respect … ‘Coz they deserve it..!! It’s their birth right not a gift …. kindly read on .. :
I had my students fill out mid-semester evaluations last fall. No big deal, just answer these four questions: 1) What am I doing to help you learn? 2) What could I be doing better to help you learn? 3) What are you doing to help yourself learn? and 4) What could you be doing better to help yourself learn? I had them turn the evaluations in anonymously to allow more genuine feedback.
Later that afternoon, I started going through the responses. It was encouraging to see that, in general, responses to the first two questions indicated I was getting better, which was gratifying given the amount of time and energy I spent re-developing the class. For the most part, students were surprisingly honest when responding to questions 3 and 4, showing they understood their responsibility in their progress, or lack thereof. Somewhere towards the end of the ~160 evaluations, I…
