we are drying up our own currency by buying goods of companies' whose major share goes to their mother concern in some far off land. our exports of fmcg are negligible see even thailand and malaysia export a huuuuuge amount of toffees and chocolates(read sugar boiled and fake cocoa butter) and charge us through our nose. avoid these products. also avoid using the vehicles unnecessarily. use public transport like autorikshaw and bus. DO NOT USE HAND/CYCLE RICKSHAWS. the rickshaw puller will use the money to buy cheap country liquor and abuse you the next time you ride his rickshaw too. restraint is the best form of saving. grow flowers at home in pots and plants, and have rotis/parathas instead of bread for breakfast. it is nutritious and cost effective too. avoid tea coffee, have nimbu paani or something similar. yu can save a lot by these simple techniques like avoid late night tv viewing, watch cd/dvd together with family/friends. you not only save cd/dvd rent but electricity on ac,fan and tv set. please contribute some more

Hi Harsh, I do not know why you have to be HARSH on the rickshaw pullers. I felt you were insensitive and generalized some experience you may have had and painted all those folks with the same dirty brush. Please withdraw your words - "DO NOT USE HAND/CYCLE RICKSHAWS. the rickshaw puller will use the money to buy cheap country liquor and abuse you the next time you ride his rickshaw too."

Dear ALL
KEWal CHARCHA BAHADUR hone se kuch nahi hota.Development par do shabd likhne se rashtra pragati nahi kartaa. Rashtra ki unnati tab hoti hai jab ham tyag par adharit jivan jeetein hai. Aise bahut se kshetra hai jo ham ghar baithe kar sakte hai.
