To do a Kaavya
Colleague Senthil L. has coined a new phrase to describe plagiarism - "to do a KV", in reference to Kaavya Viswanathan of the chick-lit-light-gone-dark notoriety. Apparently, he concocted a white paper after drawing from different sources and honestly described his accomplishment as "I did a KV".
His comrade-in-arms Balaji N. has always maintained that nothing original is being created and all of our output is recycled matter. Had Balaji been a theist, he would have agreed with Hindi-Bengali music director Bappi Lahiri, who, years ago responded to allegation about his (up) lifting music, with the quote:
Can't differ.

It's a good thing that Kaavya doesn't spell her name with C, like they do here for Cauvery.
Otherwise, that CV* would have been too close to reality ;-)
