We are connected to our Father God by the umbilical cord of our breath. We should reflect this happiness &amp; joy to others by our smile. Smile when we are happy.<br>Even in pain &amp; sorrow, we should smile. We smile for others, not only for ourselves.<br>The person in front of us might have greater pain than us. Through our smile, s/he is reminded of God’s Omnipotent, Unconditional Love &amp; Support.</p><p></p>viper78912Mon, 24 Jan 2011 00:11:55 -0000http://suchetadalal.com/blog/?p=72#comment-7893923<p>On 4/3/09, Hi.This is Karan &lt;karand87@yahoo.co.in&gt; wrote: <br> “Today I went to the Unreserved Ticketing Counter at Malad station and &lt;asked for="" a="" dadar-churchgate-dadar="" extension="" to="" my="" quarterly="" season="" ticket.="" the="" ticket="" cost="" rs="" 12="" and="" i="" gave="" two="" rs="" 10="" notes="" to="" the="" lady="" at="" the="" counter.="" quickly,="" instead="" of="" returning="" rs="" 8="" in="" cash="" to="" me,="" she="" tore="" out="" two="" rs="" 4="" coupons="" from="" a="" cvm="" coupon="" booklet="" and="" handed="" them="" over="" to="" me!="" i="" protested="" this="" "alternate="" currency"="" i="" would="" like="" to="" know,="" how="" legal="" is="" this="" procedure="" of="" issuing="" cvm="" coupons="" as="" ‘alternate="" currency’?”="" _="" the="" above="" incident="" is="" the="" tip="" of="" the="" iceberg.="" this="" problem="" is="" due="" to="" the="" black="" holed="" economy="" at="" the="" macro="" and="" micro="" level.="" at="" the="" macro="" level,="" according="" to="" a="" reported="" estimate="" of="" more="" than="" $7="" trillions,="" deposited="" in="" swiss="" banking="" system,="" about="" $2="" trillion="" deposits="" might="" be="" from="" india.="" the="" financial="" irregularities="" in="" satyam="" computer="" services="" limited,="" due="" to="" which="" investor's="" confidence="" has="" been="" badly="" shaken,="" will="" pale="" into="" insignificance="" in="" contrast="" to="" the="" scale="" of="" alleged="" irregularities="" perpetuated="" in="" reliance="" industries="" limited="" (ril),="" india's="" largest="" private="" sector="" company.="" it="" is="" hoped="" that="" the="" g20="" summit="" finance="" minister’s="" meeting="" will="" solve="" this="" problem.="" at="" the="" micro="" level,="" the="" disappearing="" small="" change="" is="" the="" achilles’="" heel="" of="" the="" indian="" economy.="" formerly,="" there="" were="" 64="" pice="" in="" the="" rupee.="" in="" the="" changeover="" to="" the="" metric="" system,="" re.1="100" paisa.="" however,="" re.1="64" pice="Re.1.36" paise,="" not="" 100="" paise.="" in="" the="" british="" india="" days,="" a="" chicken="" dish="" on="" the="" frontier="" mail="" dining="" car="" cost="" 6annas,="" 3="" pice,="" and="" 2pies.="" today,="" there="" is="" no="" value="" for="" the="" small="" coins.="" the="" largest="" denomination="" coin="" is="" the="" bottom="" of="" acceptable="" currency.="" beggars="" delight="" in="" this="" practice="" .they="" refuse="" to="" accept="" low="" denomination="" coins,="" saying="" it="" is="" time="" consuming="" &amp;="" wastage="" of="" their="" labor.="" super="" malls="" print="" bills="" 'rounding="" off'="" the="" small="" coins.="" traders="" distribute="" chocolates="" and="" toffees.="" contractors="" and="" architects="" submit="" tenders,="" quoting="" rs.5000.25paise="" per="" square="" foot.="" hardware="" dealers="" buy="" in="" 'metric'="" and="" sell="" in="" 'british.’="" a="" ton="" of="" nails="" bought="" in="" metric="" system="" sells="" at="" rs.2="" per="" dozen,="" british="" system!="" none="" of="" our="" economic="" experts="" bother="" to="" touch="" on="" this="" aspect.="" the="" time="" worn="" adage,'="" take="" care="" of="" the="" pennies,="" and="" the="" pounds="" will="" take="" care="" of="" themselves="" has="" never="" been="" more="" relevant.="" further,="" according="" to="" an="" estimation="" based="" on="" a="" secret="" unpublished="" report="" of="" swiss="" banking="" association,="" out="" of="" aforesaid="" more="" than="" $7="" trillions,="" deposited="" in="" swiss="" banking="" system,="" about="" $2="" trillions,="" deposits="" might="" be="" from="" india.="" this="" issue="" hopefully="" awaits="" a="" solution="" at="" the="" current="" g20="" summit="" finance="" minister’s="" meeting.="" political="" will="" is="" necessary="" to="" strengthen="" the="" regulatory="" framework="" in="" order="" to="" solve="" this="" problem="" of="" disappearing="" small="" change="" at="" the="" micro="" level,="" and="" vanishing="" crores="" of="" rupees="" at="" the="" macro="" level.="" what="" do="" you="" think?="" regards,="" denis=""&gt;</p>viper78912Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:27:13 -0000
