Income Tax, Indian Economy, tax savings

A few days ago, my wife and I dined out. It was a quiet celebration. We ordered well but we ordered judiciously.

Brian Lara, Cricket records, West Indies cricket

Brian Charles Lara was one of the most successful in the history of cricket. He batted with the typical West Indian flair but was known to score big innings as well.
