The baby was forced out via a caesarian section even after gandhari could not go into pregnancy after 15 months into labour. What came out surprised everyone. It was not a baby but an overlargerd ovum eggs with mutiple fertilization. August Sage was called (he was taught by the Ashwani kumars-physios of the gods) who split the ovum into 100 parts and kept it into observation and treatment for another 4 months when the babies were actually born (still premature though). The kauravas were in actual fraternal multiple sets. In the original work called “jaya” comprising of 300,000 shlokas…Ved vyas has described in detail the birth of kauravas.

If the higher-level situation is a mess, you need to address that in order for anything else to reach its potential.

Nokia certainly hasn't been able to come up with an innovative product for quite some time now. All they are doing is packaging the same functionality in different shapes of boxes! They are enjoying the brand dividend (which they managed to create over the years, but which is dwindling anyway), whereas companies like Apple are enjoying the design and buzz dividend (which by nature are disproportionate). I agree, Vishal.
