"The EU-Turkey Statement is often analysed as a key element of the EU's response to the #RefugeeCrisis, but it is also consistent with decades of relations with Turkey as a candidate country"

- @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni

"Between 2012-2016, more than 2 million irregular migrants at Europe's borders. Generally speaking, the EU's Agenda on Migration provided for two phases of action: provisional measures, and preventative measures for the future"

- @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni

- @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttฤnapฤda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
