 On the auspicious day of the birth anniversary of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, an eminent philosopher and the 2nd President of India, who dedicated his birthday to the great teachers of this country, I would like to put forward a proposal for those concerned high-ups to think that a prestigious national award given every year to an outstanding coach, preceptor or mentor in the field of sports is named after Dronacharya, the great Guru of Pandavas and Kauravas. In truth, Dronacharya symbolizes a crafty, bias, prejudiced guru who derides and abhors those belonging to the margin or brink while greatly favouring only those from the creamy layer of the mainstream. Given this unpalatable fact that entails the sage-guru Dronacharya, it would be better if the name of the Award be changed. 

Filling up an on-line form

He had to fill up an on-line form.
He paused a while before he could decide as to put a tick or cross in the very first column that said --'I am not a robot.'
He scratched the left side of his head for a second or two and put a tick.
It was not the first time that he, a latest version of super Robot, was blatantly lying.
Having finished filling up the form with some more lies, he wore an impish smile from ear to ear while seated on a latest model of multi-dimensional revolving chair.
