old lady dependent on small interest

an old lady dependent on small interest on the fixed deposit, gets an IT  letter promptly, when the income goes up by rs 100 more than exemption limit--nice, it has to be.

but when it does it on super citizens it is a surprise and big news--being rare event.

and bigger the default, rarer/nil seems to be the raids--nice or not will be so only.

how can a subordinate / small fry conduct raid on his boss?

prof ramakrishnan, on ranker

i recall my mentor, prof ramakrishnan , principal, svuce,tirupathi, inspired us to become rankers and university firsts, saying 60% is just pass, second class is equal to fail class
in profession nothing less than the best will survive, and it must be so.
world is wide for the lesser.
in the earlier days tcs a big name was not preferred for our project on seismic analysis over others, in our evaluation.
happy to see tcs is a super name , speaks a lot on sustained efforts to lead
it is nice to see the perception on opinion creators. all must focus on development for the benefit of all, keeping aside distracting time waste activities, we sure will surpass all in the world.

art, and its purpose?

basically what is the definition of art, and its purpose, and that of art galleries?
surely, not crowd pulling.
whether general connoisseur has ability to judge the value of a piece of art, and the ability to judge the depth reached of artist  and the mastery of the artist on the themes ?
how is the price fixed--a factor of demand and supply? or on the nuances expressed?
what is the context of exposure ?
can art be great if it offends?
whether artist knows his journey forward or got stuck or reached a dead end or missed the track or compromised??
artist has any social responsibility or can express as uninhibited?
artist works in an environ of real life or lives in his private universe?
clarity on the abve may be relevant to the artist and the connoisseur .
