Locker-room humour on the Silver Screen
Snakes on a Plane Movie

The opening line re the die hard gujjus was very funny and a thought that had not entered my head. I loved the film it was so tacky that it was good.

Should we trust Dr. Batra?
Dr Batra's Clinic - Aundh - Pune

Warts are easily treatable with over the counter medication or with stuff from a regular doctor. It will work and it will cost a lot less than doctor batra.

The strange rules of SpiceJet
SpiceJet

For many airlines. Even without a promotion the regular prices change all the time. They start at one price and if the flight is getting popular prices rise else if flights are not getting popular they fall to encourage more people to get that flight. Unfortunately when you bought and paid for th...e ticket the price was higher than it is now and you are not entitled to the difference. Suppose the price had gone up would you want spice jet to come after you to get more money - no you would not think that was fair. It works the other way too. If spice jet allows you to cancel your ticket for a full refund you are within your rights to cancel and re-book again at the cheaper price. British Airways does this all the time and friends and I have travelled on the same flight but all paid different prices because we booked at different times. In our case those of us who booked later paid more. The days when the price remained unchanged has now gone and in time you guys will get used to it.Read More

Abolition of same sex relation Section377 of IPC
Ministry of Law and Justice

keep it behind closed doors, engage in risky behaviour by finding partners in unsafe environments and being subjected to police harassment because they are breaking a stupid law. Removing the law does not remove societies boundaries. Dowry is illegal has that altered the way people treat it - n...o. Making homosexuality legal will not mean that suddenly the society will be accepting or people will suddenly come out about it. It just means that it is not a criminal offence. If straight adults can have sex without being arrested so should gay peopleRead More

Why men are sexually ignored at 50+
Common Sexual Problems

because where the majority of people have very arranged marraiges none of these couples ever bother to learn to talk to each other about sex or many other topics for that matter. Hence there is really nothing to keep them wanting to be nice to each other as they get older

Oh God - Tomorrow is the Result.
Dealing with the Post Results Scenario

may seem like an absolute pain in school but is the best thing that could happen to you in the long run. You learn to find your self esteem somewhere else. The pressure is far worse when you cease being the topper and become ordinary like everyone else.

Kaavya, Rowling and Paolini
How Opal Mehta Got Kissed Got Wild and Got a Life - Kaavya Vishwanathan

Most fantasy novels have the basic story line of good vs evil. Most also contain worlds where dwarves, elfs etc are common place and it is probably very easy to draw similarities between most of them e.g. Chronicles of Narnia, Shadowmancer, etc. That happens a lot think of all the books that have t...he basic plot of boy meets girl, boy gets girl etc. That isn't plagarism, plagarism is where there has been a scene by scene copy, or a copy of dialogue and phrasing and dues have not been paid to the original. Kaavya's book has 44 passages as copied from someone elses. Zinda is a literal scene by scene copy of Old Boy. These people deserve what they get.Read More

IPC 498a: A shield or weapon of assassination
______

No doubt people misuse this law in particular, but probably to the same level as the people misuse the taking and giving of Dowry. Using the suicide statistics to say that men commit suicide more than women because of misuse of this law is wrong. People commit suicide for a number of reasons. ...Statistically single men, separated men and divorced men do not cope as well as women in a similar position and hence get depressed and kill themselves and have higher rates. In the age group that are married financial and social reasons are a more apt cause then harrassment under this act. Do not forget the many women who are harassed daily and killed as a result of dowry taking itself.Read More

The bOOty formula-no eyes for the beholder
General Tips on Moral Policing

are either dead or in the case of judi dench too well entrenched in the type of roles she does to make having consmetic surgery worth her while she may well have already had some. For the younger ones on it is is just a matter of time before someone succumbs to some tweaking here or there. If i...t is your chosen profession to be out there in the public eye then your public want you to look good whether it be with surgical enhancements, dental work or just some good grooming. Nothing changes the personality that you have but it does make you more acceptable in the public's eyes and probably for a lot of them have not much to do with self esteem merely a creation of a different / better look. Not everyone necessarily goes to the same lengths and not everyone changes how they look as radically as those on the awful plastic surgery site but a little bit such as the odd botox, some veneers can make a world of difference when it comes to being more acceptable to people it does not have to take your individuality away just ehance the bits that you want enhanced.

ICICI Life Time
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance

Whether you want to increase the sum assured over your life time is upto you. As your family grows up you might not want to insure yourself for that much. I am not sure what you mean by survival benefit. When you die you get the maximum of find value or the sum assured. If you do not die all ...you have is the fund value. By stopping paying premiums and continuining to cover mortality costs you will not have much fund value left. There is no other benefit on survival. The way these policies work is that the company does not lose. If your fund becomes zero you will have no cover. IF you have a fund then you will be only covered as long as the fund lasts else you will have to put more money in. Also you are paying for your own mortality cost and so the company rarely loses out. If it did it would not sell these products. Insurance is a means for the company to make profits by pooling risk. For a number of people and statistical averages the company can estimate its cashflows pretty accurately so that although for some policy holders they make a loss overall they make a profit. For you as an individual you are paying for protection. Although you do not want a conventional policy the premium that you will be charged for a whole life or a term assurance will be some indication of how much premium you will need to ensure you are always covered for death.Read More

ICICI Life Time
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance

I think you can only increase your sum assured every three years upto a maximum of three times at a max amount of one lakh without any additional underwriting. They cannot refuse you these increases but I do not think that you can do it 13 times as you would like to. But it is not very clear from ...the brochure text. The life time II has the increases as stated and does not have the option to increase it every three years as well. Again in lifetime II if they need to increase charges to ensure that you have enough to cover costs they will. The maximum increase under lifetime 2 is 3 lakhs. If you are looking for a self sustaining policy then there are two things you should be aware of. Whatever fund you build up under either policy must be enough to cover all the mortality costs over the next thirty years or so and cover all other expenses. Now mortality cost is cheap as you are young. As you get older this cost will increase and will be quite high as you get older and you may cease to have the fund to deduct money from. Secondly you bear the investment risk not the company so if the investments crash your funds crash and you may no longer be able to afford your mortaility cover. Unfortunately I do not know of any products that would suit your needs. Read More

Unless you have paid ten years continuous premiums the max holiday of premiums that you can take is 2 years after which if you did not pay your policy would most likely lapse. It seems you want the protection more than the savings and you may be better of with a more traditional product than thi...s which is predominantly geared for savings.Read More
