He still feels defiantly out-of-step; while every other director is going digital, Tarantino says, "I go backwards. It's lower-lower-lower tech for me."

The Indian Institute of Technology brand owes much to Asok, the super-geek of the popular comic strip Dilbert, who claims to be "mentally superior to most people on earth," is trained to sleep only on national holidays, and can reincarnate from his own DNA. But studies point out that while India's pool of 14 million university graduates grows by a further...
