Paypal and RBI finally shake hands
Posted on February 27, 2010, by seogirl, under General, Payment Processing, Paypal, RBI.
I just woke up with this pleasant news in my email by Paypal that says, “Indian Bank Transfers will be open from March 1, 2010″. A nice Holi gift to all the Indians but wait, this is not all..
On reading further, it says, after working in synergy with the RBI, some new features have been introduced – major one being – the “Export Code”.
Before any transfer to be made to any of the local banks, Indian Paypal user’s will be required to fill in this “Export code” to complete the transaction. Paypal and RBI says, it will allow all the export related benefits to be claimed by PayPal users. And also, the personal payments still remain suspended because, RBI wants Paypal to have some special approval for those type of payments.
Don’t know whether this one is good or bad in terms of Tax and everything, since I haven’t analysed that part as yet.. If anyone finds that out, do share with me..
You can read more about this at the Paypal Blog.
Hope this one was a good news for you.. Have a nice day ahead

The Deaf Way on Childrens Day
Posted on November 15, 2009, by seogirl, under Charity, Children's Day, Deaf, General, The Family India.
Guys I attended the Deaf Way Fate organised by my friends associated with Family India yesterday in a nearby Ground. It had all the deaf students from different schools in and around the city beautiful participating in different events like drawing, painting, etc. and playing games at the stalls which were also being take care by Deaf people. The sponsors took care of the lunch as well.
Though it was quite silent which is an unlikely thing in a “Fate”, yet everybody was communicating with the signs. There was so much going on between themselves. It was Awesome. Really.
I could not take pictures though. I forgot to carry my camera along ( Silly Me ). But next time I will make sure I will get lots of Pics clicked and put them up here.
Keep coming back for more updates on whats up with Me.. I will write Soon..

Jaipur Indian Oil Depot in Flames
Posted on October 30, 2009, by seogirl, under General, News.
Massive Fire Broke in the IOC’s Fuel Depot yesterday. Its been over 17 years and the fire is still at its peak. It amassed all 11 Tanks filled with Diesel & Petrol.
By far this is the biggest fire incident in India. It is visible even at a distance of 15 Km from the site. Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said today that there is no other way but to let the fuel burn away. This devilish fire has claimed over 10 lives and over 150 have been left injured. But these are the official numbers and we all know its so much diff. from the actual.
What caused the fire – Gas Leakage from one of the tanks.
Indian Oil Corp. Sitapura, Jaipur in Flames
The oil depot is located on the outskirts of Jaipur in the Sitapura Area and there were a lot of Engineering/Medical Colleges within close proximity of this area. An engineering student also confirmed that the glass windows shattered due to the explosion caused by the fire.
Already the government is not able to match up the Soaring high price of Petrol/Diesel and the exponentially increasing demand amongst the population. This incident confirms the failure of the Govt. Officials who claim to run the country successfully. I totally shun this situation and have no words to express my anger. What has happened is just because of the negligence in making proper security checks and audits in the plant. This is terrible.
Seems like government officials want to get paid high salaries, lots of facilities, free car, free telephones just by sitting at there homes and doing nothing. No one is bothered.
BUT I AM. And will keep on trying to make a difference till the time I have the power to express my views to the world via Internet.
