Personally, I don't believe in God. I am willing to buy the idea that there is a supreme force somewhere, most probably not of material form. But I simply don't believe in God in the manner that most Indians choose to believe he/she exists. I believe that most of us follow religion in much the same way as students follow their textbooks. We diligently follow our customs without understanding their meaning or reasons. Religion, as we follow it, is nothing but sheer hypocrisy. We have mastered the art of maintaining the highest religious standards together with the lowest moral standards.

All those of you who are filing IT returns online for Assessment Year (A.Y.) 2010-11 using the ITR-1 PDF utility available on the IT Department's website, please use the Excel ITR-1 utility instead! The PDF utility for A.Y. 2010-11 does not generate the correct XML. And the worst part is, most people will not realise the problem until they have uploaded the XML file and received the ITR-V acknowledgement!]]> http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/07/itr-1-pdf-form-doesnt-generate-correct-xml.html Calculating Income Or Loss From Property For IT Returns http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/07/calculating-income-loss-from-property.html Shifting To WordPress From Blogger Is So Easy! http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/07/shifting-to-wordpress-from-blogger.html Rediffmail Corrupted My Emails! http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/06/rediffmail-corrupted-my-emails.html EPFO Needs a Major Overhaul http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/06/epfo-needs-a-major-overhaul.html How To Calculate Your Property Tax Under BBMP SAS Scheme http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2010/05/how-to-calculate-property-tax-bbmp.html Tacking Bangalore’s Traffic and Infrastructure Crisis (Published in Bangalore Mirror) http://www.vijaypadiyar.in/blogs/2009/11/tacking-bangalores-traffic-and.html Transferring Email Between Yahoo!
