why finite elements are supreme to finite difference schemes

1. Unlike finite difference , there is no issue like stability of the scheme.
2. The Domain can be any shape but finite differences work in only
    x or y - directions only. i.e. only on rectangular grids
3. They allow weak Solutions to the extent one seeks.
4. The stiff Matrix are good Band Matrix type, which allow faster inversions.
5. Global Error is minimum compared to Finite schemes.
6. Boundary conditions disappear after weak integration by-parts.  
 

Arranged marriages by Parents in India

During a party , with a senior physics professor at IIT Kanpur, I had  this information.
 Once a western professor asked the professor "Who could you blindly marry someone chosen by your parents"
 Then he replied, "How can you people divorce after living together for more than one year"

P.S: Since ancient times, there is no concept like divorce in Hindu civilisation.
