Jose Rosario, a graduate of the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP), says he loves his job but it doesn't love him back. On the hustle required to live on a teacher's salary: "It distracts and exhausts. It forces me to choose between making a difference and making ends meet." #TEDxStanford
Nokia
is hitting the reset button on its U.S. operations from a place some
would argue the struggling Finnish handset maker should have been years
ago: Silicon Valley.
Likewise with 'cheap at half the price'. In the hustle and bustle of a
street market it sounds as though the customer is getting a bargain.
You can hustle and do it organically, or you can feed a little money into the system to jump start it.
‘ground reality’
Indeed, much of the ideology
of Tamil nationalism was formed in the 1970s and ’80s, when Tamils were
facing pogroms and fleeing the country by the thousands.
An armed
struggle for an independent state had a certain logic then, analysts
say. But in postwar Sri Lanka the situation is less black and white, and
many Tamils are focused on recovering from war.
“People have
been so battered by the war that the basic issues, like resettlement and
jobs, that is what is foremost in their minds,” Mr. Kadirgamar said.
“It is not that the desire for a political solution is gone; it just
needs to take account for the ground realities of today.”
‘Have
you noticed the interesting things that happen around us in the name of
‘ground reality’?’ asked Babboo. ’What exactly is ‘ground reality’? Is
there also such a thing as sky reality? Is it not enough to just say,
‘reality’? Does reality become more real after the word ‘ground’ is
affixed to it?’
‘Like many impressive words and expressions that
are of late enriching the English language, ‘ground-reality’ too is a
new addition to our vocabulary. Political leaders and media
anchorpersons love to use these two words as one word and the moment you
hear them with reference to someone or some incident, you take it as
authentic and start believing that whatever is being done by the
authorities was inevitable — an obvious consequence of ground reality,’
said Babboo.
