    If all students who take drugs in the private colleges of Udupi and Manipal are nabbed, entire Jails in the city would not be sufficient to hold them.

    It has gone already to their blood ! time done its job ! now you cant stop it even you forced by the law. It is directly or indirectly the fault of HIFI parents who always spend the money on their children lavishly without counter questioning the money spending. Its one thing another thing is people are become boring of their life, there is no more physical activities comparing to old days.

    People like to be live individual independent and humans no more called social animal because of INTERNET ! There is no blame game here but its a reality. People should come out from the BOX and thing big to how to make people creative and love the one life.
