I wish if Civil Society is as simple as Rousseau's. 

Let's just start.

"Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. Everyone thinks he has enough."


"All people have the right to stupidity but some abuse the privilege."

Nothing much to say. Read the poem below, and try to answer the Questions. (the idea is simple: THINK)

"The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead—
There were no birds to fly"

The other day I was reading a news item on a down-to-earth (read no hit movie) actress being engaged to a Prince from Jaipur. There is also the Gay-Prince icon. Then there are the MPs from Gwalior, Jodhpur etc. who are still refer to in someway or the other as Prince/ss. This year we also saw the passing away of a Maharani (Gayatri).

Even after 59 years since the passing of the Constitution, and 62 years after the Indians are allowed where Dogs aren't, we are still fixated with the idea of "blue-blood", more so by the press. Art. 18 clearly abolishes such titles.

How we end up only time will tell. 

So, here's the Quiz. All the Best.

1. Id this picture.

2. Prototype of what???

3. This picture was taken when she was 18 years old. Id this legendary woman.

4. Connect the Pictures below...

That's all folks...
