Which city is commonly known as the Big Apple?
"The Big Apple" is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, known now as NYC & Company.

What is a clepsydra ?
A clepsydra is an ancient device for measuring time by means of the flow of water from a container. A simple form of clepsydra was an earthenware vessel with a small opening through which the water dripped; as the water level dropped, it exposed marks on the walls of the vessel that indicated the time that had elapsed since the vessel was full.
Additional info: viscosity and temperature does not permit the accuracy of the clock by modern standards but usually they are refilled everyday and so the cumulative error is not usually much.

Article 247 contemplates establishment of additional Courts by Parliamentary legislation for better administration of laws made by Parliament with respect to matters in the Union List. However, the Constitution is not so explicit in respect of establishment of additional Courts to better administer laws made by Parliament with respect to matters in the Concurrent List. What are your suggestions in this regard?
247. Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter, Parliament may by law provide for the establishment of any additional courts for the better administration of laws made by Parliament or of any existing laws with respect to a matter enumerated in the Union List.
A body of opinion holds that safeguards corresponding to Clauses 7 and 8 of Article 352 may be incorporated in Article 356 to enable Parliament to review continuance of a proclamation under Article 356(1).
What is your view on the subject?

Storage or reservoir or dam based projects are often conceived as multipurpose projects providing not only power but also irrigation, navigation, drinking water and flood control benefits. At the same time such projects have higher environmental and social externalities. The issue of fair sharing of social and environmental costs and benefits between downstream/command areas and upstream/catchment areas has been a major problem leading to suboptimal utilization of this valuable resource.
What role do you envisage for the Central Government for achieving greater cooperation among the various stakeholders in developing a consensus on such projects?

With the adoption of the National Environment Policy 2006, greater powers have been delegated to the States to grant environmental and forest clearances for infrastructure and industrial projects having investment of upto a specified limit. While one body of opinion is of the view that it will have a harmful effect on ecology and disrupt the fragile equilibrium in our environment, others look upon this as a welcome initiative which will facilitate timely implementation of development projects
Do you think that the existing arrangements are working satisfactorily? How do you think the conflicting interests of development and environmental conservation can be better reconciled?
