A Sweet Story

Everyone will give you an opinion on how to live your life. No one, no one will give you good advice on how to end it. Worse, they will tell you to continue living, without any respect for individual choice. Yes, hi, I’m Gautam Arora, and after eighteen wonderful years in Delhi, I’ve decided to end my life. I sat with my best friend Neeraj and his girlfriend Anjali at Costa Coffee, DLF Metropolitan Mall in Saket. The coffee is way overpriced, but considering I had a day to live, I didn’t mind getting ripped off. “The joke isn’t that funny,” Neeraj said, tearing open the second sachet of brown sugar and mixing it for his girlfriend. If this girl can’t mix sugar in her coffee, I wonder what she will be like after marriage. “Do I look like I am joking?

A start-to-finish home loan guide

BEFORE YOU APPLY What decides your borrowing capacity: The green signal for the loan is given once a bank is confident of your ability to repay the sum. "The criteria for deciding the home loan are primarily the cash flow and expenses of the borrower," says R K Bansal, executive director and chief financial officer of IDBI Bank. However, it's difficult for lenders to figure out the expenses of each loan applicant because every individual has a different spending pattern. So, banks typically assume that up to 40% of your monthly income can go into paying the EMI. If an individual has a monthly income of 1 lakh, the maximum EMI he would be able to pay is 40,000. The loan amount is then calculated on the basis of the tenure and interest rate. For instance, if the interest rate is 9.5% and the tenure is 20 years, the individual can take a loan of 43 lakh. If the interest rate was higher at 10%, the eligibility would have come down to 41.5 lakh. Similarly, if he ...

Ability to Handle the Disturbance

Suddenly, a cockroach flew from somewhere and sat on her. I wondered if this was the cockroach’s response to all the glory that was spoken about it! She started screaming out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started doing stationary jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach to another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers. Sipping my ...

The last entry stopped when the House was just about to begin. Let’s see what happened thereafter…. The House was in pin drop silence. I was brimming with anticipation and excitement!!!! Manmohan had informed me that my introduction was one of the important points of the agenda. I hoped that I will be able to make my speech properly. After so many interviews and conferences, I was nervous today!!!! After the Speaker indicated that the proceedings of the House could begin, Manmohan formally introduced me to the entire House. He mentioned that as the head of the Unique Identification Authority of India, I was responsible to ensure that each and every Indian had a digital smart card as a proof of his existence. Manmohan spoke about why I was selected and also some references to the various project...
