Indians-Most Intelligent but worst Systems
Indians-Most Intelligent but worst Systems |
It is rather strange to note that we (Indians) are regarded as the most intelligent people in the world. Our intelligence is being utlised to better the systems and procedures in developed nations. Whereas, at home the entire system is messed up. One example, the Indian Taxation: 1.Income Tax Dept issues PAN 2. The same I T Dept once again issues TAN 3.Pay Advance/Self/Regular Tax - Challans / Multiple Banks 4.Digital Signatures, File Quarterly (TDS), FBT, Annual Returns. 5.That is not the end, file on-line, then do the same paper work. 6.Then Notices, Assessments, Various Sections. 7.Time pass. 8.Bribery/Corruption. 9. Waste of time, paper, money. 10.Ultimately, every year there is no consistent system, Rates of Tax keep changing, they add Surcharge, Education Cess, Never ending taxes - with no consistent Rates of tax. Every year the story is different. 11.Neither the people preparing the Acts have clear idea nor the users & depts., have. Cases go on for years together, appeals, so on and on. 12.Why don't they remove the entire Act and have a flat rate consistent year. So, that people pay up and revenue is earned, achieving the prime objective of Revenue . 13.There is absolutely no coordination between the Central and State Depts. 14.Things need to be simplified over the years with no scope for any confusion, chaos and complexities. 15.We can only see a new Act coming up every day, new rates, new forms, new percentages - this is reflecting the level of our Indian Intelligence which is just adding on and on with no meaning. |

moral itself is a story
Moral it self is a story There was a young boy who used to come for regular practice but always played in thereserves and never made it to the soccer eleven. While he was practicing, his father used to sit at the far end, waiting for him. The matches had started and for four days, he didn't show up for practice or the quarter or semifinals. All of a sudden he showed up for the finals, went to the coach and said, "Coach, you have always kept me in the reserves and never let me play in the finals. But today, please let me play." The coach said, "Son, I'm sorry, I can't let you. There are better players than you and besides, it is the finals, the reputation of the school is at stake and I cannot take a chance." The boy pleaded, "Coach, I promise I will not let you down. I beg of you, please let me play." The coach had never seen the boy plead like this before. He said, "OK, son, go, play. But remember, I am going against my better judgment and the reputation of the school is at stake. Don't let me down." The game started and the boy played like a house on fire. Every time he got the ball, he shot a goal. Needless to say, he was the best player and the star of the game. His team had a spectacular win. When the game finished, the coach went up to him and said, "Son, how could I have been so wrong in my life. I have never seen you play like this before. What happened? How did you play so well?" The boy replied, "Coach, my father is watching me today." The coach turned around and looked at the place where the boy's father used to sit. There was no one there. He said, "Son, your father used to sit there when you came for practice, but I don't see anyone there today." The boy replied, "Coach, there is something I never told you. My father was blind. Just four days ago, he died. Today is the first day he is watching me from above."

Meaning Of Love
[Meaning Of Love] *Love is just a word untill someone you meet give it a meaning.
*Somewhere There's Someone Who Dreams Of Your Smile, And Finds In Your Presence That Life Is Worth While, So When You Are Lonely Remember It's True; Somebody Somewhere Is Thinking Of You
*Love Is Like Quicksand: The Deeper You Fall In It The Harder It Is To Get Out
*If You Get A Chance To See Him, Your Heart Begins To Dance. Your Life Revolves Around Him, There's Nothing Like Romance
*A guy and a girl can be just friends but at one point or another one of them will fall for the other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe, just maybe ...forever.
*Life is only worth living once you've found someone worth dying for.
*Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
*Love isn't all smiles and laughs for the moment;but crying and fighting for what you beileve is right and willl last forever
*Loving unconditional means forgiving and learning to live with his imperfections. Because in the end you'll realize that's what you love the most.
*Sometimes in love you must accept the fact that what makes the person you cared about happy might on the other hand leave you so lonely.
*True love is, when everything in the world is going wrong, all you have to do is look at that special person and, suddenly, everything in the world is right again.
*Someday someone might come into your life and love you the way you've always wanted. If your someday was yesterday, learn. If your someday is tomorrow, hope. If your someday is today, cherish.
*Do you want to know the easiest way to fall in love? Just associate with all your pleasant experiences with someone, and disassociate from all the unpleasant ones.
