BJP leader Arun Jaitley today demanded a raise in the Income Tax ceiling from Rs two lakh to Rs five lakh, which he claimed will benefit thirty million people.
Advocating low tax structure, the BJP leader said,"Direct Tax should be reduced. If the Income Tax limit is raised from Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs, 3 crore people will save Rs 24 crore which will lead to a small impact of 1 to 1.5% of National Tax Fund."

"Though I would not like any fine to be imposed in India, but want that if someone does not cast his vote in election he should not be allowed to vote in next election," Advani said, adding that he has written to Election Commission in this regard.
Advani appealed to people to exercise their right to franchise without fail. "People must be aware of their right to vote and should exercise this right every election."

Cool stuff. No need for makeup! 

Bring back the like system

Ms Sawant's rivals would be the Congress' Gurudas Kamat, Shiv Sena's Gajanan Kirtikar, actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, and Mayank Gandhi of the Aam Aadmi Party.

Has anybody used perfect internet noida ? I got their contact through justdial and they offer a 10Mbps plan ( 25GB FUP - 1Mbps after that ) with 30Mbps peering speeds for 950/month ( all inclusive )

How's the downtime ? Is peering download counted from FUP ?

General Elections for electing 16th Loksabha members would happen in 1 year from now. It may even happen within 1 year as well if situation arises like current govt decides to call early elections or looses majority if coalition partners pull off support (which is less likely). So who could it be forming new govt? BJP or Congress? NDA or UPA? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Sushma Swaraj or Manmohan Singh? Arun Jaitley or P. Chidambaram? What impact Arvind Kejriwal would have on these elections? And finally will any 3rd front succeed in forming govt at Centre?

He's made a career out of playing ruthless men who show their rivals no mercy – so Game Of Thrones star Sean Bean should be perfect as Julius Caesar in a new British film adaptation of Shakespeare's play.
Sean will play the Roman dictator, appearing alongside Samantha Barks's Portia and Mackenzie Crook, who takes the role of Cassius.
'Sean is going to be great,' said Samantha at the Bailey's Feaster Egg Hunt at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge. 'I think he's perfect for the role – he's got the right look for it.'

"Felipe, Valtteri is faster than you"

Why did they use the exact same words as Germany 2010 , must have been humiliating for Massa to hear this again . It was hilarious .

There are some people who can never come straight to a point. If you ask them a simple question like what is the time? They would probably reply, "Time. This is the most horrible time of my life. My father is not sending me more money, I can't understand any damn thing in the lectures, no girl ever seems to be interested in me and the hostel food is pathetic. It is the worst time of my life." In short, this book is like a 'handbook of everyday humour'. It is based on observation of funny tendencies in people and then creating fictional caricatures and anecdotes around them. The tendency of beating around the mulberry bush has been converted into a fictional character called 'Simon Satellite' and yes, there are many more such characters and anecdotes, served With a Pinch of Salt.

Yeah it's time. I was looking at the WD Elements 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive and the WD My Passport Ultra 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive
 

Budget is around 5k. Which one should I go for? Or any other in this range with a 1 TB capacity? 
Don't want unheard of brands, and USB 3.0 is needed(if its backward compatible with 2.0, otherwise both 2.0/3.0 are needed. I think the 2nd one has this.)

Will buy as soon as May starts.

Suggestions?

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

Message:

Specs of unannounced Motorola Moto E have leaked on Spanish website Xataka include, a 4.3-inch screen with a unknown resolution (probably less than or equal to 720p), 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of built-in memory, a 1900 mAh battery and a 5 megapixel rear camera. It is not known whether the smartphone will feature a MicroSD card slot, but the lack of one will surely be a deal breaker for most consumers as 4GB of internal memory is very low for modern smartphones. On the software side, the smartphone is reported to be running Android 4.4.2 out of the box unlike the Moto G which was launched with Android 4.3.
 
The leaked 124.8 x 64.8 x 6.2mm physical measures of the Moto E are truly impressive. The handset will be significantly more elegant than both the Moto G (11.6mm thick) and the Moto X (10.4mm thick). The Moto E is tipped to arrive in the coming weeks on the Mexican wireless carrier Telcel with the model number XT1021. Its price tag is certain to be lower than that of the Moto G.

Seems HDFC Bank is modifying its Netsafe

It might be a New Looks, or some Bag round changes, but its down since last few hours and shows the following Screen.

Bought this MR3220 router from snapdeal for 1497rs to use with my bsnl evdo prithvi modem.

Total disappointment

Configuring with the datacard was hassle free but the internet connection speed has significant drop when connected to router even when the signal strength is shown as 83%.

Internet speed is fine when i connect the evdo datacard directly to computer using extension cable(60 -80KB/s and sometimes above 100KB/s).stable 3bar signal and -84dbm

Also it refuses to get connected when i connect the evdo datacard to router using a small usb extension cable.

Tried contacting tp link through mail and their toll free no...no response

it was loaded with the latest firmware 130423 and i downgraded it to 130326 now there is a slight improvement still not good enough

any suggestion ..help????

Hi all

Today, I shifted to Thambaram East ( more precisely, Thiruvalluvar street, pin 600059) from Anna nagar West Extn. Have been using You Broadband Services in Anna Nagar and the experience with them was just awesome

So far I have contacted You broadband, Sify, Tikona, act, Reliance, AIrtel and bsnl. Except bsnl and airtel, none others have service in my area. Docomo guys aren't picking up the call. I am a heavy internet user, I am doing a media course which demands heavy downloads and online video lessons. Is there any other ISPs operating in my area? Please help me out guys. Thanks in advance!!!!

Cheers

VIgnesh.
