Narendra Modi says he will take care of Nano the way Yashoda took care of KRSNA.

But Krsna ate mud and Yashoda exasperated wanted to nab Him and asked him to open his mouth and what did she see,

She saw the whole universe in his mouth, and then the Village of Gokul and in it she saw herself asking Him to open His mouth. LOL... she wondered if it was some hallucination and immediately forgot he was God... BET Nano wont be such fun....

Smoking on the road is not bothersome to the non-smokers! Thas a first!.. The millions of tax payers money that he intends to save by not having to treat dying smokers anyways goes down the drain anyway.. how effective is our primary health care system can be extrapolated by one visit to our best sarkari hospitals..! they can barely take care of a fracture forget about lung cancer.. all the money just vanishes... almost 2/3rd of our population stays in hinterlands where no one dare say anything to smokers lest we read about another dozen deaths due to rioting which stemmed from an over zealous smoke ban-ner!.. we have more pressing issues to tackle than secondhand smoke!.. numbers are a mirage... another controversy has been started and the govt has managed to screw with our beguile minds into this... suddenly every tv show has a program on this and every paper is carrying full page articles... how about banishing explosions from public places mr. minister!! ...

With the government’s new law of banning smoking in public having taken effect, does it make any sense?

Excellent post guest,

I really cannot understand why the condition of the poor and the facilites for them should be so miserable.

Lets start with ourselves. Do we give a SUNDAY off to our servants? No. Do we give days like independence day, worker`s day off to our maids? NO.. Do we hike their salaries in keeping with the inflation. When we can exploit them why not government. First lets improve their situation, then they will have no need to go to GOVT hospitals. They can get treated from local doctors....

Trusts may soon be allowed to park their funds in listed shares or private sector debt instruments that have investment grade rating from credit rating agencies.

The Union Cabinet has given its nod for the introduction of a Bill in the coming session of Parliament to enable funds owned by trusts to be invested in securities (or class of securities) to be specified by the Central Government.

The Bill will seek to amend the Indian Trusts Act 1882. In fact, the Government was looking to introduce a Bill for this purpose in the Budget session this year.

Investment pattern


The Cabinet decision covers those trusts whose trust-deeds do not expressly specify the pattern of investments that should be adopted till the funds are used for the ultimate purpose for which these vehicles were created.

For such trusts, once the law is amended, the Centre is likely to specify that the investment pattern spelt out for non-government provident funds/superannuation funds/gratuity funds could be adopted.

In August this year, non-government provident funds as well as superannuation and gratuity funds were given greater exposure to the stock markets. From April 1, 2009, they can directly invest up to 15 per cent of their investible funds in shares of companies on which derivatives are available in the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Moreover, Central Government securities, state government securities and units of gilt mutual funds were clubbed into a single category and investment up to 55 per cent of the investible funds were allowed.

‘Relic of the Raj’


Briefing reporters on the Cabinet decision here on Wednesday, the Union Finance Minister, Mr Chidambaram, said that the Bill would seek to amend Section 20 of the Indian Trusts Act 1882. This section relates to investment of trust money. “Section 20 of the Indian Trusts Act is a relic of the British Raj. It is no longer relevant today”, Mr Chidambaram said.

The Law Commission had in its 17th report recommended that it was better not to enumerate particular securities but to give a general definition of all categories of securities in vogue in the market and that the securities which have become obsolete may be deleted.

Tainted Chinese Food / Milk Items

Posted by : tally

DO NOT BUY IMPORTED CHINESE FOOD PRODUCTS LIKE CHEESE, CHOCOLATES AND CONFECTIONERY ITEMS WHICH MAY BE FREELY AVAILABLE IN MALLS/SUPERMARKETS/RETAIL STORES. Even milk products made by multinationals may also be based on Chinese milk products and imported in India via gray market route. Citizens must take active steps to safeguard their health. Do not depend only on Govt for action when your/family health is at stake.
