Dear Ghantaghar

Thank you for the feedback.

The information about Gitanjali Brandon came from Linkedin.

We have made a slight correction in that headline, until we get further confirmation.

Best regards,
Prachi

Ghantaghar,

I never took coaching in Delhi (except for a few mock-interviews and a postal test-series in Sociology from a Delhi-based institute).

Please get your facts correct.

I never took any coaching in Delhi whatsoever, barring a few mock-interviews at the interview stage. Prepped on my own throughout- based out of Jaipur. Please get your facts right Ghantaghar.

Reliance basically represents whatever is wrong with humanity.

As a rule of thumb, if Reliance is doing something, it is wrong.

Thank god I don't subscribe to any Reliance(an ironical name at best) network.
Hopefully those who do, soon get better networks.


P.S: There, I'm done with one rant for the day.

That's one way of looking at it. Those who have their intellectual property stolen via various websites may have a different view.
