Prime minister and the expectations On Aug 15, 2014 Shree Narender Modi, prime minister of India was a different person and now exactly after one year i.e., on Aug 15, 2015 he is a different person again. This is stated by people all over the country. An article tiled "From outsider to insider" published in Times of India says that the law of diminishing marginal utility has set in.

Many countries follow different patterns to do the latter for their own interests which actually shouldn't be. In our country we say State syllabus, CBSE (Central Board of Secondary education), ICSE (Indian Certificate for Secondary Education), IB ( International Baccalaureate). Each has its own way according to the standards of the recipients. People often compare these systems and say particular system is easier than the other, some say some are very poor and they go on.
