Reading fiction shouldn't be brushed aside as something frivolous. When you read a story you live the characters. When you live different characters to acquire the ability to relate to different kinds of people that are not like you. In short you learn to empathize. You become more human.

I too expected that. But what I read managed to thrill me than disappoint me. This is some topic which isn't discussed much and I am glad such an idea is being discussed!

Thanks for the link. This is interesting. Why aren't more schools adopting it?

Good results don't necessarily imply good teaching either. If it's a class of 40 reasonably motivated and intelligent students they would all perform well irrespective of how they were taught.

You can check my answer below. But I am myself not convinced that is the best method.

The 'Before' and 'After' system can work well for coaching. But good teaching is not necessarily coaching students to produce better results in tests. According to me, a good teacher will help students gain an interest in the subject, appreciate the subject better which in-turn helps you perform better. A student is capable of flunking in-spite of being taught well.

In my opinion teachers should be assessed by parents and the management by having a system where every now and then parents are allowed to be part of the class.

All the best!

We need better ways to grade teachers than going by student performance in tests.

Hi Adam,

I just went through your site. A few things from the 5 mts I spent there

1. I find the name hard to pronounce. It would be tough for me to remember the name let alone spread it 2. As a business owner you didnt convince me about how exactly I benefit by collaborating with other businesses. Any case studies? Personal experience? I haven't felt the need to collaborate with other businesses to improve mine. But if you can convince me about it I wouldn't mind trying it. 3. Monetization. What are your plans?

I have 'NEVER' had a good experience over phone for Cust service. Glad to know that there is some company out there that cares...

I guess none of this will apply for start-ups. The following description fits what Steve Jobs might call the IBM types.

'That means you must arrive at a job interview in a clean, well-put-together outfit with neat fingernails, smoothed-down hair and fresh breath. Also, think twice about any eccentricities. “Some people might be able to look past pink hair and black nail polish, but it will affect their decision'

I would personally vouch for it. Not just cold, I have got rid of nagging headaches and other ailments too after starting on a regular exercise regime

I personally like the option to report spam results to filter them off my searches. I am tired of spammy results on Google.

On this website, is everybody considered to be in the same league? At-least that way, one needn't fear offending anybody...I'm sure the female that you mentioned has low self esteem.

Or is it that majority of the people are so conscious about the way they look that they are more comfortable labeling themselves 'ugly' than let somebody else do it!

...dating for the aesthetically challenged :) Love the tagline.

Apple always gets the UI right - right enough to even overcome disabilities. This is amazing!

I am weary of the 'there' n 'their' mix-ups too. I sometimes feel too archaic making a fuss of all this. The Oatmeal comics makes me feel better though!

IMHO, the FB app fever among users has considerably died down and also, FB as a platform itself has over time limited an app's ability to become viral. So it's not necessarily the idea. It's the timing of the launch. For all that, a year or 2 back your app could have been a great success. So don't bother too much about your ability to evaluate an idea. It's all about riding on the next big trend.

Being uber conscious about health, I spend some bit of my time cooking everyday. I would love to outsource this or find a healthy eat-out option. Since I only work on my start-up, there isn't much of a juggling.

Wake up at 6 Have tea Read a bit Make and eat breakfast Be at work by 9 (it's a 5min walk to my work place) work till 12.30 Have lunch n a short break Start work again by 2.30 Work till 7 Gym for an hr Shower n dine Read/ TV/ Movie Get to bed by 11

No gym on wednesday evenings. I seem to crave for a break mid week than weekend. I go to a pub/ movie or meet friends Wednesday evenings. I work Saturdays. Stay out late in the evenings. Wake up a lil late on Sunday. I take an hour or two out on a Sunday for my hobbies.

working out religiously, listening to the music of your choice and eating healthy will help you avoid a burn-out.

This is a great opportunity for the designers for they can acquire a sense of what the market needs. Also, I am sure designers have a better chance of visibility using a service like yours than setting up their own online stores.
