I'm frustrated how mirky publication can be. 800 INR comes out to just shy of $10, though my intuition is that this is perhaps an article mill anyway.

What's the most brutal insult you've ever heard in your language? I think the most savagely specific one that I've ever encountered was from Finnish... sun gradu oli varmaan 20 sivua. It means "your thesis was probably 20 pages long"
