Basic English

Kudos to Dr.Vyasamoorthy! Certainly the real culprits are the education system & selfish politicians. You will agree this is an exciting topic. We speak of national integration. We accept or do not accept that English language brings all castes & communities together. Ridiculous indeed! How many universities are conducting interviews for B.L.I.Sc in regional language to see that the mediocrity thrives everywhere. Are the teachers of LIS not responsible for this appalling state? Do the teachers of LIS identify & motivate the would-be prolific writers? Do the teachers speak correct English in the class? Are the teachers simply cynical of students who are better than the teachers? Are the teachers aware of difference between healthy criticism & cynicism? I believe the teachers are right in the centre of the field to mould the academic society. It is just like blaming the government for all ills not knowing that the govt. is of the people, by the people and for the people. As Dr.Radhakrishnan said " a teacher commands respect and not demands respect. Learning is directed both ways teacher-students and students-teachers. Now who is responsible for the poor communication skill : the system of education, the floating politicians or the sacred teachers? This is a food for thought. A proper analysis would bring in the answer. -- Shantha Venkatesan. Senior Librarian Prof.M.M.Sharma Library U.I.C.T.Matunga (East) Mumbai400 019

MSN Search Helpful to Net User
by Farooque Shaheen 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

The Hindu, The next time you have a query such as "what is seven times 20" or "how high is Mt. Everest" or a complex arithmetic or algebra calculation,simply type the question in the window of MSN Search, Microsoft's latest innovation. A one-line answer would appear in microseconds on the web page, along with the other MSN search results. "How many inches in a mile?" Launched last fortnight in the country, this feature of MSN Search draws its results from the database of 1.5 million answers provided by Microsoft Encarta, the leading encyclopaedia brand. You could ask any question on geographical locations, historical and popular figures, definitions, facts, calculations, conversions, and solutions to equations. Till now, Internet browsers had to type out the key words in the search window and click on the search results to look out for precise definitions. But the one-line Encarta answer is only part of the long list of features offered by the new MSN Search, built from the ground up by Microsoft in about 16 months. Now available in 25 countries and 10 languages, the search service offers a collection of tools to Net users, giving them greater control in targeting and refining searches to get instant,accurate answers to specific questions. http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/23/stories/2005022315510300.htm Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.
