Make erring cops pay : Praveen Sood, additional commissioner of traffic
Information you cannot miss out
If you are getting caught quite often by Bangalore's traffic police, then this will be the article you cannot miss out on. From now onwards, the Traffic Police cannot catch a motorist just to examine the driving license or vehicle documents. He can catch you only if you have violated any traffic laws or if you are driving drunk.
Remember that when caught for traffic violation, the fine you pay must be limited to the violation. In other words, the police can't bloat the bill saying that you have no insurance cover or emission certificate, etc.
Many motorists do not know this. According to the State's Road Transportation Act, no policeman can slap a penalty on you just because you have no insurance or emission certificate. If you have not purchased insurance cover for your vehicle, then the police officer must issue a notice, not impose penalty. You must be given 15 days' time to purchase insurance cover and one week for obtaining the emission certificate. Days later, meet the sub-inspector at his station with the insurance cover or emission certificate, so that he will annul the charge at once. Police can fine you only if you fail to produce these documents within the stipulated period. If your vehicle is brand new, then you need not bother about obtaining the emission certificate for one full year.
In response to a question as to why policemen fine people instantly without giving them time to obtain insurance cover or emission certificate, Additional Commissioner for Traffic Praveen Sood said, "Yes, it is a mistake. People must force policemen to issue notice or complain to me at least the following day. I have suspended the Indiranagar sub-inspector for catching people for silly reasons," he said.
The best way to teach the police a lesson is filing a written complaint with their higher officials and, a week later, using the Right to Information Act (RTI) to know the action taken against them.
Remember, any question or application filed under RTI cannot be ignored and no official is bold enough to ignore the RTI Act.

Make erring cops pay : Praveen Sood, additional commissioner of traffic (Thursday, May 14, 2009 11:08 IST)
Traffic police personnel stationed near traffic signals are only allowed to book motorists driving rashly or jumping red lights, additional commissioner of traffic Praveen Sood clarified on Wednesday. The officer made this statement following complaints of traffic police personnel stopping and checking vehicular documents in such areas, causing jams in the process.
Admitting that such exercises may result in disruption of the traffic flow, he said, "Police personnel deployed for enforcement of rules near signals are not allowed to stop vehicles for any reason other than jumping traffic lights and negligent behaviour, which includes talking on the phone while driving." Any traffic policeman, who is caught stopping vehicles for reasons other than these, is liable to be punished, he said.
Stating that he has given strict instructions to his staff to book cases of rule violations and negligent driving, Sood said that at least five enforcement cameras, apart from 80 surveillance cameras, have been installed at traffic signals to apprehend offenders.
"Persons caught on camera will be issued notices," Sood said. Strict action will also be taken against motorists who park on zebra crossings, break lane discipline and violate other rules, he added.
"But then, if motorists come across any erring policemen, they may come to my office to lodge a complaint or register it on the Bangalore City Traffic police website: http://bangaloretrafficpolice.gov.in," he said.

ISSUED IN PUBLIC INTEREST - a mail i received
BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank , we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services. If you ask some nationalised bank to take over the housing loan from ICICI Bank, even after paying full amount, you will not get back your original documents for months. You will be told that the documents are in Mumbai and they are trying to retrieve the same. This is the answer you get everyday.
BEWARE OF NOKIA
Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.
Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set. All those who have purchased 3230 set, have experienced that there was software problem in every set. Nokia is simply dumping the sets, which can not be sold in other countries.
BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN
Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that you will be allowed to fly . The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight. You will not get refund immediately, if you have booked your ticket through credit card. If you call up their call centre, if you press numbers relating to refund, you will not be attended at all even if you try for hours together. If you talk to somebody regarding refund, you have to press options relating to ticket booking, so that someone will attend to you. Then you can ask for refund. They are following very good trick.
BEWARE OF COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE
They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kms from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore . Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card.
BEWARE OF PRIVATE BUS OPERATORS/TRAVEL AGENTS
If you book your ticket in a private bus operator, you will find that your seat is allotted to somebody else also. Many a times, though you have booked your ticket to some destination, you will dropped few kilometers away, if there are not enough passengers for your destination. Then you will have to depend on other services to reach your destination. Keep the records/proofs and give a complaint to the nearest police station, when you come back. If you find that the police is supporting the travel agent, immediately inform his higher ups or give a complaint to consumer forum. Always try to use government transportation services. They may be bad in service but will never cheat you.
BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS
If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. You will find it annoying especially when you are on roaming network. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.
BEWARE OF SOME HOSPITALS
If you happen to get admitted (or admit your family person/friend/relative) for any operation in any hospital, keep all the records. Even if the doctor scribbles any information on a piece of paper and give it you, please keep it with you. In future, for your bad luck, if some adverse thing happens due to wrong dialysis or wrong operation, these things will come handy to fight it in a court. Please be clear that consumer forums are not of much help to you because they do not have good doctors in their panel. Many a times they do not have any doctors in their panel and even if they have, a doctor in the panel will try to help a doctor. In such a case you will have to fight tooth and nail. Hence keep all the records/proofs with you carefully.
BEWARE OF TATAINDICOM BROADBAND and WIRELESS FIXED TELEPHONE
Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back. If you book Wireless fixed telephone, the Tataindicom sales person will tell you that you can send/receive fax, send/receive e-mails in other service providers' account also (for example vsnl, touchtel etc). Once you install the telephone, you will find that the instrument can not support fax machine even if connected through EPABX, you will find that you can receive e-mails in other accounts and can not send e-mails at all. You have to send e-mails only through Tataindicom e-mail service.
CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH THESE COMPANIES / PRODUCTS
LIST OF WORST COMPANIES AGAINST WHOM WE RECEIVE COMPLAINTS VERY FREQUENTLY
WE ARE GATHERING INFORMATION ON CORRUPT JUDGES, REGISTRARS & CLERKS
We have received many complaints from consumers that they are being harassed in the consumer courts when they go there to submit consumer complaint and attend hearings. They are not being served properly by the clerks, and the judges keep on giving hearing dates without arriving to judgment. These acts are contrary to the purpose of setting up of consumer courts that were basically meant to help the consumers. Please inform us if you have experienced or witnessed harassment or corruption. Inform us the exact time, date, and location of the incident in writing through duly signed letter. Your details will not be disclosed on this website, but you should be ready to co-operate when action against these people is initiated by nabbing them through proper channel.

FIT TO BE TIED
 | STEP 1 You can tie the starting knot by passing the left lace over the right (shown at left), or by wrapping right over left. Either method can yield a balanced knot or a granny knot—it depends on what you do afterward. |  |
 | STEP 2 Next you make a loop with the right lace (shown at left) or the left. Either choice can yield a balanced knot or a granny knot—independent of which starting knot you made. It comes down to what you do next. |  |
 | STEP 3 Then you circle the other lace around the loop you just made—either in front or in back of the loop. The right choice depends upon how you did steps 1 and 2. (In the knot shown at left, back is correct.) To see the proper last step that matches your technique, consult the chart at right. |  |
Right and Wrong
BALANCED KNOT
If properly tied with a reef knot, your shoelace bow should sit sideways across the shoe.
UNBALANCED KNOT
If you instead tie a granny knot, your shoelace bow will probably twist to become angled or perpendicular.

Mumbai under attack
A city bleeds, nation mourns and an army of heroes who have dedicated their lives to the country fight a savage battle with extremists to restore peace and order. But the truth is the terrorists have claimed victory and a small section of their inhumane breed will call them martyrs. Cowards they are. If this what their religion teaches them to do, then I am proud not be born as one among them. Its true, they only represent a small fraction and others from their community cant be held responsible, but my heart cries looking at these images. These are common people from all walks of life. People who are at peace with the word while they fight their own individual battles. Do they deserve to be caught in this ghastly act.
Shame on those who participate and perpetuate these. Shame on your so called religion.

How to quit your job in the middle of Global Financial Crunch!
Tonight, I & Rashmi Sinha (An inspirting friend & Chief Executive at SlideShare.net) had a hot discussion over GoogleTalk on this fucked-up global financial system & it's impact over tech. I know, the subject-line of the mail is hillarious, but that applies to the sense of the discussion and the situation we're having in the system right now. I though, I should just share some thoughts to extend the discussion & invite all you to join-in... Grab a coffee & get ready to fly... ;)
In last whole month, I'm hearing & reading lot about the Global Credit Crunch we're having in our planet. I'm seeing people relating this crisis to each & everything which matters & even not matter at all. That is really crap!
I seriously hate when people directly relate technology with this crunch and then directly target India like this is the slowdown of Indian Technology Ecosystem; and it is more frustrating when many Indians itself support this crap-talk! My question why people act so blindly like our nation is all about off-shoring, why don't they see the innovation. Surely, a large part of our technology ecosystem is based on outsourcing, But that is not the only thing that defines the system, there is major part of innovation which is driven from small start-ups incubating to large enterprises, there is innovation driven by small technologists like us, there is innovation driven by the most talented pool of minds in whole world we have.
Let's take a typical Bangalore scenario. Out of city's 5.8 million population almost 1.6 million people work here for technology. And, you may be one of them. Let me be very specific here... You work for "technology"; you do not work for your big IT company. Give a big hug to Big Uncles that your piece of job which you thought you were working for your Big IT company, might be part of lay-off movement. You never know. And, you've seen it too that corporate-culture sucks. Especially in remotely controlled technology ecosystem like ours. This really sucks!
Crunch like these works typically as a fuel to more technological innovation. 8 years ago we've seen when the bubble burst during the start of this century. That was a similar situation, though the center that time was the world wide web, this time the center is the Wall-Street & Markets around the world. For example, Take a look at YouTube, Facebook, Skype, Ning, Mozilla, WebMD all these companies started right in the middle of the bubble's burst, all are valued over a billion dollar companies today.
Let's talk about the tech now... Look closely, technology is anywhere & everywhere. It is wheel that drives innovation. Finance, Money etc is definitely an essential part of the system which is build by technology. But look separately, technology alone always keeps moving, it is completely a different matter that large tech companies are in crisis now, because we've really fucked-up the whole planet-wide financial system! Both are part of same system, but specifically both are different things. That is why I called you you work for "technology"... So be proud that you work for technology, not for your company! You're a free bird!
Recently, I heard Barack Obama on saying via Krishna's blog...
Bigness of purpose is what separates 20th century and 21st century organizations: Yesterday, we built huge corporations to do tiny, incremental things - Tomorrow, we must build small organizations that can do tremendously massive things...
Definitely, this is a major shift we're witnessing. The trend is changing, this is a new era when new frontiers in technology / technology enabled systems will come up and redefine the system. And, we (India) have a major role to play... remember, you work for technology!
I'll just finish this mail with lines below...
- ...Get involved » more coffee » quit your job » start a company » crunch blooms entrepreneurship »»»
- ...We all have ideas. Those ideas, by themselves are worthless unless you enterprise them »»»
- ...It takes a lot to jump-in to entreprenuship, but trust me. It is even better than orgasm! »»»
- And, your twenties are time to take risks & it is a roller coaster ride »»»
- And, lastly... This is the best time to quit your job & start something you always dreamed about »»»

9 Things I Hate
2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?" No Loser, I paid Rs.125 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Wealth Special: How to get your tax refund fast!
In January 2005, Ruchi Das resigned from her stint as a newspaper journalist to join an online media company.
Her provident fund (PF) balance was worth Rs 38,500, and she wanted to transfer this amount to her new employer's PF account, since a withdrawal before five years would be taxed.
In January 2007, Ruchi applied to her current employer for the transfer of PF balance. In December 2007, Ruchi, still has no clue about the status of her transfer.
When she made an inquiry, she discovered that her former employer had issued a cheque for Rs 38,500 in May 2007 in favour of the Recognised Provident Fund Commissioner (Delhi) with whom her current employer maintains the PF account. But the money was not credited into her account.
According to social activist Shailesh Gandhi, who perseveres in his fight with government agencies for the right of information, cases of pending provident fund are not uncommon.
If you are in the same boat as Ruchi, the Right to Information Act is a good bet, to help you find out the status of your dues (PF, tax refunds or old age pensions) from the Government.
The waiting period for tax refunds is usually one year from the time of filing your returns.
Plan of action for Ruchi
Shailesh outlines these steps to help Ruchi get the information she needs (for a draft format, turn to page 4 ):
1. Format
Central Government bodies have not prescribed a format for requesting information. But the State of Maharashtra has. You could use a similar format, because it is clear and concise.
2. Language of communication
Write your application in Hindi, English or the local language.
3. To whom
Address the application to the public information officer (PIO) of the organisation. In Ruchi's case, it is the Recognised PF Commissioner of Delhi. Do not forget to affix an Indian postal order stamp of a Rs 10 denomination, on your application.
4. Documents and records
Attach a photocopy of proofs like your transfer form or tax return copy to your application. If you don't have a copy of the transfer form, make sure you get your PF account numbers. Sign the RTI application and maintain a copy.
5. Content
Keep your language usage, simple. For instance, Ruchi could quote her PF number and other relevant details and frame it like this: What is the status of my PF transfer?
When framing questions, Shailesh suggests that you don't ask 'Why has there been a delay?'. Instead, focus on "What is the status?"
Questions that use words like 'what' and 'where' have a definite answer unlike the question 'why', because the person in charge may not know be able to trace the exact reason for the delay.
What next?
The PIO of the concerned office -- in this case, the PF office in Delhi -- will have to provide information within 30 days of receiving the application.
If you don't get a response within the time-frame, a first appeal can be made to the first appellate (an officer who is a rank senior to the PIO). He is bound to give you a response within 30 days.
Despite this, if the information is not provided or is refused, approach the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC). The CIC is an autonomous body that inquires into citizen complaints. If the PIO has no justifiable reason for not providing the information or if he provides incorrect information, the act penalises him with an amount of Rs 250 per day.
According to Shailesh, in the case of PF transfers and tax refunds, the chances of a refusal are very, very low. Narayan Varma, a senior chartered accountant agrees.
He says, "I used RTI to get my tax refund. In my case, the dues were credited within 30 days. I mentioned my telephone number in the RTI application. The assessing officer called me to say he would act, immediately."
According to Varma, he has personally helped in approximately 50 cases of tax refunds. Of these, more than 95 per cent, have been successful.

Recession is coming
Recession is coming .... make your own judgment, don't panic !! Dowhat iswise.
The recession looks very eminent. It is really time to take pro active
steps to avoid a painful time in the next two years which is how long
the recession is expected to last.
Suggestions:
1. Don't take any loans; buy homes, properties with loans, or even cash.
Keep as much cash as possible.
2. Pay off as much of personal loans, private loans, as debt collection
will be hastened.
3. Sell any stocks you can even at lower prices.
4. Take money off from Trust Funds.
5. Don't believe in huge sales forecast from customers, be extremely
prudent, lowest inventories, reduce liabilities.
6. Don't invest in new capital.
7. If you are selling homes/ properties/ cars, do it now, when you can
get good prices, they are going to fall.
8. Don't invest in new business proposals.
9. Cancel holiday plans using credit cards.
10. Don't change jobs, as companies will retrench based on 'last in
first out'.
Stay cool, wait, and if you took all of the above actions and more, you
probably will be better off then many. This is not a rumor.
Bear Stearns is the first of many banking and financial institutionsthat
will start falling in the not too future. If Bear Stearns can fall, socan
JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, and the whole world. US economy falls, therestwill crumble.
India and all those self economies will be the most protected, but not
gullible.
Europe may be a little stronger, but not China , another giant! :place
Malaysia will see significant impact.

Lessons on Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come some time or later.
"True love never dies for it is lust that fades away.
Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away"
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.'
Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
