Like father, (un)like son? Paving a new path

Narayana Murthy’s son, presently on an internship at Microsoft, does not want to step into his father’s shoes. He hinted he may have a venture of his own.

Reason: “I think he (Rohan ) is much smarter than I am. So, he probably will have some good ideas on what he wants to do,� said, Murthy. Father Murthy is not disappointed. “Whatever he wants to do, our (his and his wife Sudha’s ) encouragement will always be there. And, we will be happy to support him,� he added.

Salaried to shell out more in tax

All income earners, including the salaried and the self-employed, will soon have to fork out more tax. The Centre has finally relented on the long-standing demand from states to enhance the ceiling for tax on professions from the current level of Rs 2,500 to Rs 7,500 per year.

The tax on professions, trades, callings and employments, is a tax that the Constitution assigns to state governments/local bodies. Article 276 puts the ceiling on the tax at Rs 2,500.

The Constitution has been amended in the past to raise the tax level to bring it to the present level. Many states have been demanding that the Article should be amended again to hike the tax level to Rs 7,500 a year.

Erroneous Advertisers

These four classified ads appeared in a newspaper on four consecutive days. The last three hopelessly trying to correct the first day’s mistake…

MONDAY: For sale – Vishanth has a sewing machine for sale. Phone 98407 16581 after 7PM and ask for Mrs Mani who lives with him cheap.

TUESDAY: Notice: We regret having erred in Vishanth’s ad yesterday. It should have read, “One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 98407 16581 and ask for Mrs Mani, who lives with him after 7PM.”

WEDNESDAY: Notice: Vishanth has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in the classified ad yesterday. The ad stands correct as follows: “For sale – Vishanth has a sewing machine for sale; Cheap. Phone 98407 16581 after 7PM and ask for Mrs. Mani who loves with him.

THURSDAY: Notice: I, Vishanth, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed it. Don’t call 98407 16581 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with Mrs. Mani. Until yesterday, she was my housekeeper but she quit!
