The problem is not with spares for the A320's. The problem is with spares for the Pratt & Whitney engines, so if you are operating with another companies engines, such as CFM, then there isn't a problem at all. Unfortunately Go Air put all their eggs in one basket. Only contracted Pratt &...

It is dropped from Grade 10, because it is covered in greater detail in Grade 11.

The Uniform Civil Code has been applicable in the Indian state of Goa for over 150 years now, and nobody has an issue with it. Should you wish to live in the state of Goa you have to abide by the UCC and Goans irrespective of their religion, whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian are entirely...

There is no such thing as stray dogs or cats etc. All animals and birds have a right to life, particularly in their place of birth, if they are born in an urban settlement, they have a God given right to live there. They should be part of the community and it is the responsibility of the...
