In the bustling city of Mumbai, the work force of Dabbawalas is seen to have made the work load of housewives a whole lot easier. The fresh catering service has become so successful so much so that it has become a unique professional that is much loved by business schools and national and international organizations.

Snake Charmers

 India has been dated centuries back as the land of the snake charmers. Athough a majority of it has gradually declined, there are still a handful of snake charmers that carry on the tradition even today. Furthermore besides earning an income from this profession, snake charmers also play an important role in snake conservation movement as they know the whereabouts of snake species.

Baraatis for Rent

 Weddings are a big occasion in India and while they may be brought about in such a manner, Baraatis are hired as well wishers so as to increase the guest count while making the celebration grander. The unique concept of hiring rented Baraatis is practiced largely in Rajasthan.

Shoe Keepers

At religious places and shrines visitors are often asked to keep their footwear outside before they enter in order to preserve the purity and sanctity of the place. It is for this reason that shoe keepers have earned themselves a job by looking after shoes from getting stolen or lost.

Knife Sharpeners

 With the amount of items and spices needed in Indian food, it isn’t surprising that knifes often need to be sharpened, that’s where Knife Sharpeners come in. This profession carried forward from ancient days still manages to sell its valuable skills by taking  discarded blunt knives and  instantly regain their task by sharpening them for further usage.

Mourners for rent

Well as you all already know that occasions like wedding are normally a big thing in India so are funerals and since Baraatis are taken for weddings, Mourners are hired for funerals in Rajasthan. Here these people are hired to accompany one to a death ritual as well as mourning on behalf of the family. This is mainly  pertaining to the upper caste people.

List of INDIAN UNIVERSITIES AMONG WORLD'S TOP 200

QS WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS 2015 - 16 - INDIAN UNIVERSITIES AMONG WORLD'S TOP 200





Since its launch in 2004, the QS World University Rankings remains a ma jor news event around the world. And they matter enormously to academics, university managers, students, alumni and other key groups in higher education. As with any ranking, the big names near the top are the first to attract attention. We find that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is still the world's top university. It has near-perfect scores on five of our six measures, but falters on our indicator for international students where it gains a mere 95.5 out of a possible 100. It is 62nd in the world on this measure. In second place is Harvard, which also performs extremely well in all the indicators, except for the proportion of international students. The top 20 we see here is dominated as usual by an array of household-name institutions in the US and the UK. US universities take 10 top-20 places and the UK five. Two of the others are in Switzerland, two in Singapore and one in Australia.
There is bound to be close attention to the effects of this year's major improvement to the rankings, the faculty-level normalisation of our citations count. The intention is to counteract the ferocious publish-or-perish culture of the biomedical field, and in the natural sciences, by equalising the effect of citations in the major areas of academic life.
For this year, its effects can be seen most starkly in the improved standing of institutions with a strong emphasis on the social sciences and the arts and humanities. Most striking is the rise of the London School of Economics from 71st place to 35th, driven by a rise in its citations ranking. In general, the effect of this change on large universities with a comprehensive range of subject provision ought to be broadly neutral.This applies to most of our topranked institutions, so there have been few if anyearthquakes in the upper reaches of these rankings.
However, universities with a strong emphasis on the biomedical sciences lose the advantage afforded by our previous methodological approach in counting citation per faculty.
The most visible example is Imperial College, London. It has fallen from the number two position to eighth. The main reason is indeed the fall in its citation per faculty member indicator, as a result of the normalization applied to this measure. This is the only one of our six measures on which Imperial does not have a near-perfect score.
The other startling result near the top of these rankings is the rise of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. NTU is up 26 places to 13th, one place behind the National University of Singapore, making NTU much the newest top university in the world.In addition, it has proved possible for medicine-intensive universities to offset the effects of the citations changes by improving elsewhere. Examples include Johns Hopkins and Yale in the US. They both lost out in the citations reform, but have fallen less than might have been expected by doing better on other measures.
This new approach to citations allows us to look afresh at the relative standing of world higher education systems. One example is the possible rise in the standing of Asian higher education. Across the region, universities have been the focus of massive political emphasis, and of substantial financial investment. We have already seen that Singapore's commitment to learning and research is a success, with two top-20 universities in this ranking.
These rankings show little material change in the standing of universities in Japan, Korea or Taiwan. The main winners are in China and India. China's two top institutions, Tsinghua and Peking universities, are up by 22 and 16 places respectively to 25 and 41. In India, seven of the Indian Institutes of Technology are up this year including top-rated IIT Delhi (179th) which breaks into the Top 200 for the first time ever. As a general rule, engineering and technology attach less importance to citations than science and medicine. The top Indian institution is the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. It is a new entry at a praiseworthy 147, having satisfied QS that its work is broadly-based enough to be included in our global ranking.
Ben Sowter, QS head of research says “India's universities have clear strengths in technology and natural sciences, and with the historic emphasis on medical research now neutralized, are reflected in their rightful place in this year's tables. On a cautionary note, however, it's important to highlight that the trend in a number of key measures remains downward, so to retain and improve upon this year's results, the Indian Higher Education establishment must not be complacent, and must continue to drive for greater international recognition.“
There are 14 Indian institutions in the QS World University Rankings and half of them are among the global 400. While the IITs and the Institute of Science have all progressed in this edition, the large comprehensive universities, such as the University of Delhi and the University of Mumbai have lost ground, principally because of the normalisation by faculty applied to the research indicator but also due to deterioration in other dimensions as well.
The University of Delhi features among the world's top 200 in the Social Sciences & Management (191th) and Arts & Humanities tables (176th) while Jawaharlal Nehru University is the leading Indian university in this area (168th). Unsurprisingly, Indian institutions excel in the Engineering & Technology area, with five IITs among the Top 100 in the world while they also have a fairly strong profile in the Natural Sciences.

Essential fashion tips for women to nail an interview





Dressing for an interview is a tricky affair. After all, your attire makes the first and a lasting impression on the interviewer. While men mostly dress in a pair of formal trousers, ladies could be a little experimental.But at the same time, they have to be careful not to go overboard with it.You have to be careful about your appearance and mannerisms among everything else. So, it is important to keep a few things in mind to nail an interview and leave a longlasting impresssion. Here are some tips that will help you in doing so perfectly . 

 

PICK UP SUITS AND SKIRTS IN SUBTLE COLOURS
Select subtle colours like grey, navy, brown or off white. Colours like crimson and indigo are too bright for formal occasions like a job interview. You can choose between trousers or a skirt.The thumb rule when it comes to wearing a skirt to an interview is that the hemline should not be more than three fingers above the knee-length. Choose a light coloured blouse or shirt. Pastel shades of blue, pink and purple are the safest of choices.
 
AVOID CHIPPED NAILS
Half chipped-off polish give an impression of a disorganised personality to employers. So, if you run out of time or money to get a good manicure done before the interview, at least make sure that your nails are free of polish and shortened neatly. Long, chipped-off nails look sloppy. Keep an enamel shiner handy to give your nails a last minute touch up. If you are keen on wearing a nail polish, opt for muted colours.
 
KEEP THE MAKEUP TO THE MINIMUM
Garish makeup is a strict nono. Nude or light makeup is the best thing to opt for. Play up your favourite feature on your face but don't overdo it.For instance, you can apply a thin liner but don't use any eye shadow. You can wear a cat eye liner but tone it down. Don't go for smokey eyes. For the lips, use light shades. The blush should also be just a dust-off. Keep it as natural as possible.
 
A NEAT HAIRDO IS A MUST
When it comes to settling for the best hairdo to nail an interview, the most important and wise thing to do is to select something that you are comfortable in the most. If you have unmanageable hair, the best way to tame it is to tie it into a neat bun. If you have short hair, comb it neatly and tuck it behind the ears. Prevent your hair from going all over your face. Clip it up properly so that your face is clearly visible to the interviewer.
 
CHECK YOUR BRA STRAP
If you are wearing a sleeveless dress to the interview, make sure that your bra straps are in place before entering the hall. It is always advisable to wear fitting bras with straps that are tight enough to stay in place. Ditch your loose innerwear that day. A fashion mishap at an interview could be much more distracting than you can imagine.
