1 Parikshit
Legends persist to this day about Parikshit and the beatings that he received from his teachers.
One day, Parikshit received such a brutal beating from his teacher, that all the girls in the vicinity started crying.
But not Parikshit. He proudly had a grin on his face indicating his readiness - nay eagerness to receive more beating.
But since then, he became a “measure“ of quantifying beatings. The amount of beating required to make one’s neighbours start crying is defined as 1 Parikshit.

No i don't think so, this Parikshit is from NEERI Paranjpe. In any case, I don't remember there being any Parikshit either in section A or B; correct me if I'm wrong.

Attacks on Pilgrims
Attacks on Indian cities of Reasi, Kathua, Doda at this point of time, I think, must be meant as clear provocation. They are goading us into hitting back, which in order to save our own image, I guess we will have to do. Not to be jingoistic, but we can’t allow the wholesale murd...

It is Sunday. I woke up early today. I am not sure why. I think I had to go to the bathroom. Or had I set my body clock to go off before Sanika’s 7:30 AM dance class?

“Good we are moving. This house is so small.”, said Vivaan. He must have picked it up from our conversations. “But I will miss my friends”, he quickly added.
