I have been a guitar player for a while and want to improve my skills. My skills may be considered an intermediate level. Any affordable and quality leads would be greatly appreciated.
What amazes me is, today we have become so used to corruption, that for something that should be a no-brainer like the sanctity of a national exam, especially that helps make selection of doctors or any exam for that matter, we now need a "bill". Otherwise, it is almost a given that papers will leak and NTA doesn't have any responsibility.
A) It's almost like saying, in this country, we now need legislation for honest conduct and that in the absence of it, it is a given that your neighborhood or the society you live in should exist only to con you.
B) It's such a bad example of governance. If this is the precedence they are going to follow, then for every little mishap they will introduce a bill to make a mockery of governance in this country. Tomorrow, if there's enough road infrastructure caving in, like what we have been witnessing recently (thanks to Gadkari), then they will try to show accountability only by introducing yet another "anti-road caving in bill" and then deflect attention from how poor their governance has been. At this rate, they will need a "bill" for food safety, a "bill" to ensure affordable electricity, another "bill" for employment, and the list will be a never ending one.
It's in-fact the anti-thesis of the much touted, "small government, big governance" motto with which these right-wing radicals rose to power. Things that should have been the very spirit of this society, like honesty, no room for corruption in public life, etc. are no more our aspirations as a society. That's how much we have degraded in the last 12 years and that's how backward we are as a society, and therefore, regardless of how fast or slow our GDP grows, the reality is, we still have a backward and underdeveloped mindset.

Need some guidance on Teach For India opportunities in and around Kolkata.
Just share the name of the children of Pradhan here. They didn't have to go through the corrupt education system that their father manages. They received American education and a high paying job eventually.
If Manmohan Singh = 'Maun'mohan Singh, Narendar Damordas Modi=?
I’m increasingly noticing asymmetrical strength development in both my clean & jerk and snatch, with my right side becoming more dominant. I understand some imbalances are natural. My left shoulder has always been about 1–1.5 inches higher than my right, and I’m right-dominant in most sports.
However, as I lift heavier, the imbalance seems more pronounced. In heavy deep squats, I tend to shift weight onto my right leg when sitting down and standing up, which is creating some strain in my left leg and hip.
How should I train the clean & jerk and snatch to address this imbalance?
