Game: Ask the Person Below You

I dont think it is required unless it is relevant for that degree. But I am not sure if ALL degrees have Economics as one of the subjects. I never heard of this subject being a part of arts courses. I was a commerce student and had Macro, Micro and Indian economy as three different subjects. I enjoyed studying them and it made some sense to me. But I dont think it is necessary.

to the person below me:

Do you think performance should be judged on the basis of marks/grades obtained in subjects. Or do you think there is/should be anyother better way?

I cannot really think of a better way without putting a lot of thought into the subject, but I see few things wrong with judging by marks/grades earned. In preference, however, I always enjoy courses that grade on a 'curve,' meaning, instead of an 'A' measuring between 90-100%, a 'B' measuring between 80-89%, etc., the student who scores the highest (let us pretend 94%), that identifies the ideal grade (94% instead of 100%), providing a 'curve' for others. Some instructors use this method, and can certainly help when you do not have the best of instructors.

To the person below me: what do you often do to relieve any anxiety, sadness, or anger, which always brightens your mood?

Years ago I learned an Oriental technique known as I Ching. My Doctor is Oriental, and has helped me to further explore the depths of the meditation techniques. It helps me relax a lot.

Good question to pass along, Mono!

To relieve my anger or sadness I often just sit in the balcony of my house & look at the children playing in the nearby buildings. Their innocence is what cools me down.

Same ques.

Are you SURE it's called "I Ching"?

have you passed on the same question Robin???

well, I prefer walk around in the campus at night alone and look at starry sky or stay at a quiet place and think nothing, just be quiet. sometimes I would cry,not loudly, just let tears slip down my face.I think quietness can bury everything, especially something bad.

Yes.
I do not often steer you wrong.

The I Ching ("Book of Changes" or "Classic of Changes") is the oldest of the Chinese classic texts. It describes an ancient system of cosmology and philosophy which is at the heart of Chinese cultural beliefs. The philosophy centers on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change (see Philosophy, below). In Western cultures, the I Ching is regarded by some as simply a system of divination; many believe it expresses the wisdom and philosophy of ancient China. (From Wikkapedia)

Among the cosmology and philosophy there is a type of meditation which focuses and balances the Chi in ones body. This must be tailored to fit each person, as everyone is different. I used to used the Chi to block pain, and to add extra force to fighting skills. Now I use a different type called "heart smiling" to focus on healing and inner peace. I also use a relaxation technique. Jung taught these things also. :)

What sort of thing stresses you out the most?

Yes, I knew of the text, I just thought it was odd you referred to it as a technique. From the sound of it, what you're doing is more like Qi gong.

Lots of work with little time to do it.

Same question!

Once upon a time, college, especially nursing school, would stress me out immensely; other things, however: lots and lots of simultaneous changes (even if the changes seem pleasant, such as holiday-time), as vague as that sounds, in the presence of large and loud crowds, and disorganization of things within my power.

To the person below me: now, as an adult, do you still like the place where you grew up - the city, state, country, province (whatever)? Why or why not?

Hmmm, I can't say that I am fully adult at the moment but I think (though not sure) that I am old enough to answer this question...Actually I have started to hate the place where I have grown up now. My city is one of the very pretentious and conservative cities in the whole country but yes, I had advantages too, for example of good schooling and Internet....but I dislike my city and will give a lot to live somewhere else! Probably in Lahore or Karachi or any other city.

Good question so the same one!

Currently I live in the place where I grew up & I just love the area. So I wouldn't change my place of residence.

Same ques.

I have a love-hate relation with the place I live in, Delhi. This is the place I have been born and brought up and am still living here. I have never known any other place, except Delhi, so my experience of other cities is not much, so cant really compare. I have all my memories here, my childhood years, teenage days, crushes, heartbreaks, friends and so much more. I think I have lived a lifetime and have become so used to its ways that probably I wont fit in anywhere else. But there are times when I am sad or stressed, I do wish if I could just run away frome here and settle someplace else and start everything fresh. So many times I have had such emotions, but when everything is alright I dont want to relocate. I think it is very cosmopolitan in nature, you would find people of so many diverse cultures, ideologies, every one can find a place in this city. I feel so much at home. :) :)

--I just wanted to answer this question, and dont have anything to ask. So I would pass the same question to the person below me.

Considering all that has happened to me, I'd love to blow this town, but my mother and my wife's parents are getting up in years and I can't. They need us now. Perhaps one day, I'll move away and not come back again.

Intersesting question, so I pass it on.

I neither like being in the same place nor being the same person. This seems to be a very difficult question for me to answer and besides you people may never understand what I'm going to say, because, I myself, don't understand this strange desire in me to run (It's something like in Forrest Gump movie). I can only say, that I feel like giving away everything I've earned and starting afresh. I did so, for the first time last year by relocating to a new place. I left behind everything and everyone I loved. I've almost settled down in this new place, but the urge to run has revived again. I just can’t stand it when people begin to get intimate. I know it’s weird and I’m scared.

Same Q.
