Those who are complaining about Bombay's law and order should be sent to U.P. and Bihar - only then they will realize how safe and secure Bombay is.
Our educational results lag behind other states, and other nations, but worse still, behind the potential of the kids and the devoted teachers in our classrooms.
Florida is nice, but Texas is my favorite state.
