They are given in the news story which you linked to(assuming the pay-as-you-go(PAYG) tariff is uniform throughout India). Have a look at the first row in this table(contained in that article): http://im.tech2.in.com/gallery/2012/...1710019486.jpg

Once again, no, I am NOT talking about data pack overage charges.......as said above, please see the first row in the new tarrifs' table given in the news story, which is for PAY-AS-YOU-GO(PAYG).

It is exactly THIS that is beyond my understanding, since now 3G PAYG is cheaper than 2G PAYG(refer my previous post in this thread for a reference)...lol........it is worth noting that 2G has an unlimited data pack as well, whereas 3G does not have any.So why aren't 2G PAYG rates brought down in that case?

If somebody does collect the sim on your behalf, he'd have to forge you're signature, which is illegal. Plus, there are sanchaar haats everywhere in the city.

Anti-Smoking Campaign

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 11:38 AM PDT

Well u guys have exactly mentioned what i am mentioning. When someone smokes, they take care that it doesnt get into the faces of their friends. Coz when u try to save ur friend, u unknowingly blow it in such a way that it still goes right into the face of someone behind you or wherever the wind is blowing. Even when someone is smoking alone, the smoke from the cigarette that has blown in the direction of the wind, comes directly in ur face. Dont tell me u carry a 5-6 feet tall chimney to blow out the smoke. Unless its blown that way, u are unknowingly creating harm to others.

As regards the effects of cigarette smoke v/s vehicular pollution.....

Air pollution vs tobacco smoke
Living in a city or near a main road is not going to affect your risk of lung cancer much if you already smoke. A large amount of research has shown that tobacco smoke is much more dangerous than air pollution.

Tobacco smoke causes around 85% of lung cancer cases in the UK, making it by far the biggest cause of the disease. Compared to this, air pollution causes only a small proportion of cases. In European non-smokers and ex-smokers, between 5% and 7% of lung cancers may be caused by air pollution.
U cant deny a research finding i guess!

Yes mate powerful lungs. U understand the difference, when u see someone with Asthma. While talking, i take longer pauses. Climbing stairs/slopes - i try to avoid that as much as possible, even if it means climbing from 1st floor to second. Talking on ur phone while u walk? - well its a dream for me.....once u go thru all this, u realise the difference that makes me coin that term "Powerful lungs"
