Episode Agenda:
I) Education
A) The Quicksand called Exam
(0:23 to 16:39)
i) Online or Offline- abolish exams altogether
ii) The IIIT Hyderabad Model
iii) evaluation only on the basis of internal exams or any exams is anachronistic and sets back the education systems a 100 years (obsolete and outdated)- instead evaluate through assignments, projects, oral examinations, reports-whether it is school education or higher education- online or offline mode
II) Entertainment
A) Spy-Thriller-Law Enforcement TV Series
(17:03 to 25:56)
i) Special Ops, Sacred Games and The Family Man were the life-jacket thrown to the capsizing/sinking Indian TV shows as a whole, specifically in the law enforcement and spy-thriller genre.
ii) What do 24, Homeland, Covert Affairs, Nikita, Get Smart,Blacklist and others have in common- they are legends as far as spy-thriller and law enforcement genre is concerned outside India; while we try to feign happiness on watching bizarrely scripted TV Shows like CID and Crime Patrol.
