MS has gotten really good with hardware off late. Why not a Surface phone with Stock android and regular updates? If it works out, gives MS a platform to try different services like Samsung with bixby etc.

Right, there was a protest in Chennai not a month ago to lift ban on Jallikattu(a local sport) and the local Govt passes a law in a week to allow this. but the protesters refused to leave the place(beach) after all the demands were met and eventually it got ugly, a police station was set on fire and the Govt had to use force.

Doctor. The idea of studying human body and saving lives fascinates me. Having said that, i think Docs should be more accountable, like for ex: they could screw up a surgery resulting in a loss of life and no one would even know about it, is something always scares me.

Reading about it, looks like this has been done before in India in '54 and '78. Has black money decreased since then?
