Its not that i hate them, its i like them more. I feel they are always down to earth and they also crack jokes on themselves and laugh !! I am a natural speaker and i speak in many seminars (sachi se yaar). One day i was invited to speak in one of the sardar community forum regarding some human pshychology. I thought i should crack one joke before i begun serious discussions as soon as i started cracking the joke i remembered i was in a sardor congregation. So immediately i changed the topic There was once a gujrathi, and he .... Immediately a sardar sprang up and saw me with glaring eyes. I thought arre bhai aaj hum gaye...and he instanteously shot saying "Sir, kya sab sardar mar gaye hai kya?".. General 2005-03-08T14:26:08Z ajayg Tax Tax Income Tax http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1576&blogId=222 Voila, The tax has come down.. now i have to pay a little less to the govt. But the saved money cant be spent , thats the condition then tha means i cant buy AC mobile phones ,though they are cheaper. I can save  1L into any kind of savings and there are 17-18 items which include most of those that are in Sec. 88. So that means, we have a straight away tax with no STD (standard Tax Deductions). So, wheres the money gone until you were 70 K benefits , we can save the std deductions into a insturment. So ideally the standard deduction has gone into some section of savings. The FM would have thought that the money saved in the bank gives me more easier to access than the money in the people :) anyway, its a win-win situation General 2005-03-01T23:29:00Z ajayg funny PC and Funny Man http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1574&blogId=222 It had been a norm of all govts. to revert some or other measure due to public outcry. If the public does not have one, then they feel the budget is not a prosperous one or can i say since the budget was good in all fronts buri nazar nikalne ke liye - they made a good worthless funny measure. like they say in  <a href="http://in.indiatimes.com">indiatimes</a>, "whatever"  the measure to me was funny when i read that but realized how many times i go to bank to withdraw 10000 Rs/- ? for running a family (my house in chennai is next to a ICICI ATM) my dad withdraws money almost like every week around 3k and that wud be more than sufficient for him for all other expenses like utiliy bills, mobile bills, credit cards he never uses money but uses cheques. So why would i withdraw 10k ? for giving someone as a loan who needs cash to be deposited and why would he deposit cash ? We dont need to show the source of cash or our PAN number and does not get reported until 50k of money so i get 2Lakhs of money from some source (unknown and unquotable) and i take into confidence 4 friends of mine to make the black into white and deposit 49.9 K into each of their accounts and ask them to withdraw over every other day. So, IT is ok with 4 individuals getting 49.9 k and that being given as a loan. If given as a cheque it would be quoted as a valid findable transaction. if i withdraw cash and give it to the other friend and he deposits the next day with a small round robin i have withdrawn 2l from 4 different account with a min of 4 permutations and made the unaccountable money into accountable money. while the friend who stores this money into his account he happily does not need any reference if IT asks him why he withdrew 49.9 k he could say for his monthly expenses and noone asks him why 50k of expenses. But ppl...think why do we need 10k of money to be spent on one day? ok , the corollary is if i have a black money of 2L and if i withdraw 2L from 4 different accounts i lose a max of 200 Rs/- which is nothing compared to the amount of money i evade as tax !! so whats the purpose then? The only purpose i see is with this there would be more outcry and cribbing and feeling laughed at rather than any purpose :( General 2005-03-01T23:18:02Z ajayg VAT ... VAT ..traders / tax evaders and the poor .. The sufferings shall come to an end http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1544&blogId=222 I disagree with what <a href="http://aaquraishi.fullhydblogs.com/#4620">Aziz</a> had said about the VAT. Instead its going to be a boon in disguise.. How? is the obvious question that would arsie in ur mind. LEt me explain VAT. Farmer fams wheat...he sells it for 100 .. Pays a tax on the revenue @ 20% = 20 Rs. Baker buys the wheat makes it into bread .. sells it for 150 pays a tax on the revenue @ 20% = 30 Rs/- Retailer buys the bread and sells it to you at 200 Rs/- and incurs a tax on the reveune @ 20% = 40 Rs/-   The total cost of the wheat @ 100 becomes 200 and the tax on that wheat is 20+30+40 = 90 Rs/-. So eventually for a 100 Rs/- wheat the tax is 90 Rs/- And who is paying for the entire tax ? the people like u and me !! During the VAT regime how it works VAT = Value Added Tax Wheat - 100 Rs  - Value Added 100 Rs   Tax @ 20% = 20 Rs Bread -  150 Rs -  Value added 150 (Selling price) - 100 (Cost Price) = 50 Rs/ Tax @ 20% on 50  = 10 Rs/- Bread to customer - 200 Rs/- value added 200 - 150 = 50 Rs/- Tax @ 20% = 10 Rs/- Total Tax paid = 20+10+10 = 40 Rs/- . So the savings goes to the trader and the baker and so effectively the consumers will survive. Why do people then say VAT is going to kill us ? India is a land of Tax evaders .. Where the tax evasion is higher the tax what the baker and the retailer collects does not go to the government, inturn who loses the money ? its not the salaried class or the rich but the poor for who has to pay the TAX which is not paid to the Govt and enjoyed by the traders. So the traders make a huge hue and cry. State govt makes a hue and cry coz until today the tax collection goes to state govt. Now it goes to the central govt. Think...People Think when you say VAT is going to kill us.. Its not VAT its the no payable of this is going to kill us. LEt us not pay for what we did not do.. But lets pay for what we earn.. General 2005-02-24T14:24:11Z ajayg Microlight Aircrafts - II http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1534&blogId=222 There are 500 X-air variations of Microlight around the world. This itself enough to speak about hte popularity. This is mainly used by farmers for crop spraying and can go on an altitude of 20000 km. This can go at a speed of 80 km/h . more spec detaisl are available from <a href="http://www.x-air.info/index.htm">this website</a>. The reason for this not being popular in India one could be the parking place. Second, it can carry only 2 passengers (including the pilot). So, its kind of my own plane. I was telling my mom this idea and she was dead against this coz of hte fact that i cant take both dad and mom together. Anyway, for sometime i was thinking of its usage and needs for a normal person like me . I shall put it in next blog. But the specs for this is <table border=1> <tbody> <tr> <td width="50%">Stall Speed</td> <td width="50%">45 Km/h</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Max Speed level flight</td> <td width="50%">120 Km/h</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Min Practical Speed level flight</td> <td width="50%">65 Km/h </td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Economy Cruise</td> <td width="50%">80 - 100 Km/h</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Best Rate of Climb</td> <td width="50%">3 meters/sec At 80 km/h</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Best Glide Ratio</td> <td width="50%">9 to 1</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Distance to clear 15 m at Take off</td> <td width="50%">220 meters</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Distance to clear 15 m at landing</td> <td width="50%">230 meters</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Rolling Distance at Take off</td> <td width="50%">100 meters</td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Fuel Consumption</td> <td width="50%">13 litres/hour at 80 Km/h </td></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Useful ceiling</td> <td width="50%">12000 ft</td></tr></tbody></table>   Third could be due to the rolling distance at take off . It requires 100 meters and people living in the city cannot afford in the middle of the city a 100 mts distance . I think working for microsoft is a definite advantage coz there is enough parking place for my aircraft and also the take off distance but i wonder the travelling time from home (chennai) to office. ITs almost 300 crow flies distance ;) General 2005-02-23T23:48:33Z ajayg Microlight Aircrafts http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1533&blogId=222 There are 4 varieties of aircrafts which are in the vincity of usability. These can be categorized as basic , training, travelling and other usages. These are called as gliders, power gliders, microlight x-air and x-air gunman. The thing is gliders cost around 100,000 Rs/- and power gliders to the range of 1,15,000 to 7,00,000 Rs/- the third category is the microlight x-air (my favourite one). This costs around 7,15,000 to 9,60,000 (x-air gunman).  The difference between x-air and x-air gunman is in the wings the x-air has a fixed wings giving a comfortable radial turn while the gunman has a flexi-wing that means a 180 degree turn is possible by rotating the wings. These are manufactured in a company called Raj Hamsa in bangalore (Believe it, its manufactured in India). If you look at it the difference in the rates within the same model is due to the engines. There are two types of engines in each variety 1. Rotor 2. HWRITH both are german ones, one of them is air-cooled and the other is liquid cooled. So in the liquid coolant is safer than air-cooled coz of the stability and predictability. Both are German motors. and their performances are same. I shall list donw the performances and the website details in next blog...   To be continued !! General 2005-02-23T23:40:35Z ajayg Lazy me!! not my mistake http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1531&blogId=222 me being lazy is not my mistake.. I did not come to office yday. I had fever and i told my mom that i did not go office yday and she was telling me that i was just lazy to have a bath and thats the reason i did not go to office . Coz, i had known that if you were not lazy even when u r dying you would want to go to office so its sheer laziness. I was wondeirng if what she said is true.. and it seems according to this <a href="http://health.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1028248.cms">article in indiatimes</a> . People who live longer are generally lazy and there is an scientific study on it. So next time, when your parent says you are lazy just tell them that you are planning to live longer!! . Be lazy and Be there :) General 2005-02-23T22:27:26Z ajayg forgot my mobile phone http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1529&blogId=222 U know when life revloves around this gadget and you know all the loved ones (bosedk, not only my girl friends , i meant my parents, sister) communicate everyday, you know you are missing something. Somethings in life are taken for granted . I could forget my ID card to office (never happpenedd in lifee) but forgetting the mobile is out of question and out of standards. I have set some standards in life and i breached it. Mobile has been the most used gadget of mine (dont count the water closet in the restroom). Usually when my friend was in india, there wud b hardly any moment when i am without my mobile. Now that i dont call her using mobile, i have 100 different ways usage of my mobile during the day time is meant only for alarm and not for anything else. This contains a inbuilt camera and i had been shooting pictures, which are also blogged in a site called <a href="http://lovableflowers.blogspot.com">http://lovableflowers.blogspot.com</a> so if you want to reach me today...you know call me in the night... General 2005-02-23T21:27:13Z ajayg Long time since i wrote http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1528&blogId=222 Long time since i thought i will write, once the thought came and i had forgotten my password so the thought evaporated before started writing. Writing a blog is one of hte most fav hobbies of mine, so that means i had no time to write a blog... Well, the other reason is .. i was doing my MBA in xLRI the final term and was in jamshedpur for the classes and the exam. Not that i am very studious student but i get tired easily. Now my friend had gone to US for a 3 month project, I feel left alone. Without her life is like a nonsensical picture of oneself lying around with to od nothing (if it does not sound what i wanted to say, then rephrase and mail it to me...and if it sounds what i did not want to say.. just drop dead...i know what i wanted to say).. for now this is it..but i am back..will defntly write more do read and email me your comments to <a href="mailto:ajay.kumar@gmail.com">ajay.kumar@gmail.com</a> General 2005-02-23T21:21:30Z ajayg Take this challenge http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1536&blogId=222 Join me in Ohri's for a good dinner on this weekend by giving out the BEST entry on what you can do with a microlight!!
