KISS - Keep It Simple and Short

I find more people thinking about their tax saving investments by this time. Many Insurance Agents chasing salaried class people for investments. Almost everyone can find an insurance agents within their family and friends circle. Some times people start to avoid them. I guess the income tax generated in this country from salaried class should be very less. (probably less than 2 percentage). For this, the amount of effort wasted by the general public is not proportionate. Despite Income Tax Department trying to simplify the documentations by introducing different types of Income Tax Returns (namely ITR1, ITR2 etc... for different category people) I still find the process is more complicated. And the exemption in HRA is funny. More people tend to submit a fake rent receipts. For a single house, the exemption claimed for more than one tax payers of the same family.

May be because of the arts they practise which are mostly meant for women. (like some traditional dances) The funny thing is 90% of both genders ...

And there are atleast one big old Christian school in every big city. Some of them started a century ago. I am not sure, but I think there will be more Christian minority schools than Hindu Schools. The basic benefit of British rule is the number of schools they opened. Education reach out to many people who were not treated equally in the society. But stil we have the question that this education system is a proper one? As more people say its suitable for producing more clerical work. Thatswhy i guess today India became the back office for more international companies. When US is wondering about the education system of Japan, Now there is a craze for Indian education in Japan. (Source: NY Times) Will Japan gonna concentrate on BPO sector? In India, I wonder whats the level of education before Britishers came. What is the ...
