UNION BUDGET -2008

Hi pals,

After the railway budget ,I am giving you the most important proposals of the Union budget framed by Mr.Chidambaram.This union budget is mainly a pro-agriculture budget,as it should be because of the large number of suicides committed by the farmers.
The proposals of the budget are
1.Rs.60,000 crore waiver of farm loans to benefit 4-crore farmers.
2.Tax exemption limit raised to Rs.1.5 lakhs as against the previous figure of 1.10lakhs.
3.Tax exemption raised to Rs.1.8 lakhs for women.
4.Tax exemption raised to Rs.2.25 lakhs for senior citizens.
5.Tax slab for Rs.1.5 to 3 lakh group is 10% per annum
6.Tax slab for Rs .3 to 5 lakh group is 20% per annum
7.Tax slab for Rs.5 lakh and above is 30% per annum
8.10% higher allocation of funds for Defence.
9.Customs duty on small cars and two wheelers down to 12% from 16%
10.16 new universities including three IITs at Bihar,Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh and three IISCs(INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE)

a please all railway budget

hi friends,
The railway budget for this fiscal is finally out,it has received a lot of apprecation,definitely it is a praiseworthy budget for the people.It has everything in it to benefit the people like reduction in fares,modernisation,easy ticketing and several bonanzas.Let us see what are the plans

1.A very praiseworthy scheme is the introduction of "GREEN TOILETS" at a cost of 4000 crores
previously the toilets were open to the outside and would spoil the station or even if the train is in running condition it will spoil the motoring way,this scheme will be having some storage tank, i think, where the stuff will be stored and then will be drained later ,kudos to lalooji
2.sleeper class fares cut by 5%,first ac fares cut by 7%,second ac fares cut by 4%,third ac fares cut by 2% thats good for the people who have a lot of travelling job.
3.The one which needs a mention is that all the 18000 unmanned crossings are to be manned,after so many mishaps this step will the prevent the occurence of rail accidents,i would suggest that the railway gates through which the people enter through the bottom be fenced so that they cant trespass and meet with an accident until the gate is open.
4.Coming to the security measures it needs to be addressed as it is lacking today.Laloo has planned to install CCTVs .K good but will it be in switched ON condition.
5.53 new trains to be introduced connecting various places,for Tamil Nadu two trains one connecting chennai and salem,another is between coimbatore and banglore.
6.Laloo has tried to upgrade our railways to international standard by making 50 stations with Escalators.
7.Freight charges down by 14%,good for the exporters.
8.Free seasonal tickets for students till class 12 and free seasonal tickets for girls till graduation,Great but why dont u give free for boys till graduation Mr.Laloo??
9.Train maintanence to be given to private parties ,at last laloo has got enlightenment!!!
10.50% concession for AIDS patients and women senior citizens.
11.A new coach factory at Kerala.
12.Last but not the least "coolies"promoted as "gangmen"
but the people of kolkata are not that happy as there is no upgradation for the 100 year old "HOWRAH" station which handles 8 lakh passengers per day,Some say that this being the election year to get votes such a budget has been framed,but whatever be the motive ultimately it benefits the common man.Inspite of all these comments let us hope that all the plans proposed are implemented successfully.

Funny Sunday

hi pals,

Got an idea about me through my first post ah??ya i missed out sports to become famous,but hailing from Tamil nadu think wont get that much recognition.ah coming to the topic funny sunday,i want to share it definitely with u all.here how it all began,it was just like any other sunday ,me gettin up late goin to gym and coming back,after reading the main paper of THE HINDU i took the DOWNTOWN and was just running through the pages ,in one page my hands had made a sudden brake.Guess what??My eyes saw the words "FREE".whenever the natural lens that God has given me sees the word "FREE" the writer of this blog will get excited.what FREE? I too thought it to be a food for my stomach,oh it ended in food for my ears.ya it was a FREE SEMINAR.I decided to go for it as the day was very much boring.I registered via phone and was in search of a company as i thought the seminar will be boring if i attend it solely.I called one of my friends and uttered the word FREE ,he too got excited and he too registered for it.the seminar was about the art of leading a good life by an organisation on nungambakkam.we reached there at 4 in the evening and the seminar was done by a lady of the org .her speech was bubblingand suddenly she asked each one to see some 10 people whom they dont know at all and say "life will never be the same",unfortunately she took a promise from us that nobody will go out until the seminar gets over, so me and my friend too uttered "life will never be the same"to each other and to others.she gave us one sheet and there laid some 30 words without any relevance and she
asked any one of us to say the words without seeing in the same order,we were not ready for that and some other person was called and he was taken outside by that org member and he was back after a short span of time and he managed to say most of the words in the same order.i was able to make out that he has been told a story which would feature those words.at times she will stop and tell life will .........................the gathering will say never be the same.then she asked everyone to say whatever they see in the hall and wrote the objects in a big sheet of paper and she called out one of the members of the org and she was able to say all those words in any order,many tested her by asking what is the fifth word or they will tell the word and she will say the number.ya she was able to do it correctly and we were stunned by it.one man was called to the dais and was asked to introduce himself,but he felt a little hesitant and was shivering ,he was taken outside for a few minutes and he was back,then i dont do where his fear went and he introduced himself without any fear .the time was 7.30 by then.here comes the funniest part the business part of the seminar,the presenter was highly intellectual in the first part ,but too much money oriented in the end,she said that if u want to overcome the obstacles the above two persons faced then join our organisation,spl offer rs 8900/- for two days ,still not satisfied ok 8000/-as a spl offer ,some people were excited about that discount.me and my pal were pushed in to a world of laughter,the final offer for the day that is the first 20 people who registers on the spot at the counter can bring another person for FREE.suddenly a group of people were running over hitting each other to reach the counter for registration, it reminded me of the movie mannan in which superstar rajnikanth and comedian goundamani will rush to buy the first two tickets for the movie chinna thambi for which they will be given agold ring and a chain.we came out with all laughs thinking about the incident.everything is becoming commercial thats the thing truly funny sunday isn't it??????

know me

hi pals

uuuuh!!!!!! i have created a blog for myself THANKS TO MY FRIEND RAGAV who kindled me to start this.on seeing my title SPICES OF LIFE u can consider me as a foodie ,ya true for sure pals.i am a sort of person who want some spice in life yaar ,i dont want to have a routine life,want to explore various arenas of this world.to be candid want to be a famous personality with camera people around me,news channels showing news about me,news papers writing about me.I sat and thought how to become famous ,only two ways are there
1.become an extremist like(osama bin laden,prabakaran)will u forget their names?????but ruled out that as i am not fit to be an extremist.
2.become a politician or enter the filmdom or become a business man.
According to me a politician is the highest post which needs no qualification but i have a fear about my life,i think a film star also doesn't need any u.G or p.G ,i have my own interest to join the filmdom but my family being orthodox bade good bye to it,oh only one way to become a business man,me basically a person who takes minimum risk and dont want to be my life at stake,so final hope is also drowned.

But me now on the fag end of finishing my under graduation with a job in my hand in a top IT company.can anyone please tell me how to become famous ??i dont know how to get rid of this feeling.whenever i see any news channels i am haunted by this feeling.

WANT A SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BETTER IT BE A LIQUID
