Schools have doubled as meeting places, protest grounds, and even polling booths. But as bars? Sounds a bit strange? Well, a corporation school in T Nagar, Chennai is used as a taproom in the night. Surrounded by a slum with few street lights and no compound wall, the tavern school has been frequented by nocturnal tipplers for more than a decade now. This along with the foul smell that emanates from the nearby Koovum canal has led to the dwindling number of students - now only 115 students attend the school.

Passport baba

Hearing this, thousands of people frequent the saint’s tomb every day. ‘My brother was desperate to get a visa to the United States. He visited Miskin baba and a week later, believe it or not, without any hassle he got one’, says Rahul a recent visitor. After Miskin baba’s divine visa interventions, it’s no wonder why the locals jestingly call him passport baba. Amusing or not, that’s the truth.

Racists are a pain in the neck
Be it for pursuing higher education or planning to work and settle in a country, Australia still appears to be the most dreaded place for the Asian populace, or at least for the people in India as racism continues undeterred there. According to the reports, 3 Indians were assaulted by an Australian mob and hours after this incident, the Indians in Australia staged a protest. Fact of the matter is this is the third major protest down under and there is nothing Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister can do to put an end to this issue. Poor chap, every time these bloddy racists attack the hapless Indians, a protest is staged and he’s pulled out and asked - Mr Rudd, are you listening? These racial attacks are a prime concern for the Australian Prime Minister and you might be wondering why Mr Rudd is least bothered about these incidents. But alas, that’s not the case. It looks like he strongly believes in the proverb - If you can’t beat them, join them. Right, Mr Rudd?
