It happens only in India

It makes for a perfect bollywood masala. The rise of an orphan to meteoric heights.

The other day during lunch at office, one of my senior colleagues was showering his praises at an orphan who was proposing to immigrate to Canada. The catch is that he's only a sixth standard pass, yet holds a graduate degree. Not only did he obtain a passing certificate from a school that is shut down but he also managed to grease the palms of some educated babu and his clonies for a university certificate that will enable him to fly to Canada. And, after all those offences we have people who speak at length about his ability to manipulate his way thorugh success.

While we address people at the grassroot level, there is certainly an increasing need for educated people to stand up for the offences made in front of them.
