a medical college in Bijapur (???who's ever heard of such a place outside of a Bollywood movie!!) advertising to potential students in Hong Kong!
Nope, I wasn't reading some small-time paper targeted at the Indian minority abroad, but HK/China's mainstream english newspaper, South China Morning Post. Of course, knowing what pre-coffee mornings can be, for a few seconds after I saw the ad even I did wonder whether I'd lost my bearings and was actually sitting over damn old TOI.
Now I can well imagine what inspired this secluded place in Karnataka to want NRIs on its rolls, but what on earth makes them expect a response? Having never heard their name till date, I doubt their NRI hostel on Sholapur Road is filled chockablock. But hell, no business house affiliation (which a good number of small little medical schools across the counrty are) would waste money like this without reason. Any ideas?

Where do you think Rama Bijapurkar ancestors came from? :D
But yes, why on Earth would a medical college in Bijapur target HK residents? The huge Indian populace there and the fee differential perhaps? I'm sure if they pay in HK$ it'll still be cheaper than studying in Sing sing...
Like it or not, but you've been tagged!! :)))) Check my blog for details!;))))
