PASSPORT QUERIES !

***New Passport***

There are various kinds of opinions about the process (From 'Applying' to 'Receiving') of getting passport in hand.

India is a corrupted country & when it comes to "Sarkaari Kaam", we get worried. But my experience has been 'Good' overall.

But getting a passport in hand, according to my personal experience, now-a-days it don't feel like a "Sarkaari Kaam". Obviously the primary reason being that, Passport is a very important document & it is mandatorily been granted within  3-months from the appointment at a PSK (Passport Seva Kendra).

The second reason being that, the PSKs are maintained by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which is one of the largest BPO of Indian Origin. They are very much active & concentrated towards the work, assigned to them.

Now, coming to my personal experience, let me first discuss the documents required during the whole process, & then the steps involved in the process :

Documents Required :
1. Birth Certificate
2. Aadhar Card
3. Voter ID Card
4. PAN Card
5. Class-X Grade Card
6. Class-X Admit Card
7. Class-XII Grade Card
8. Driving License (if you have)
9. Guardian's School leaving Grade Card/Certificate
10.Guardian's Voter ID Card, PAN Card, Aadhar Card.
11.Last 1-year's Electricity / Telephone Bill. (For Address proof)
12.Applicant's Bank passbook- last 1-2 years' transaction Xerox along with the 1st page.

Steps involved :

 1. Register yourself, make payment & submit your Application at " passportindia.gov.in ".

     I registered myself online on 29/12/2014

 2. Print out the Appointment Form & visit the PSK (that you've selected), at the mentioned Date & Time.

     I printed out the ARN Form & visited PSK Kolkata on 30/01/2015. My time slot was from 2:30 PM. I received my Passport Application receipt & got out of the office at around 04:30 P.M.

 3. Enter PSK, follow the steps. You'll be guided accordingly. You'll have to go through 3 sections -A, B & C. At Section A, Documents' (1-8) are required to be submitted. At Section B, the documents would be attested & verified. At Section C, they'll again look at your documents. Last, you'll have to collect your receipt from the EXIT COUNTER. 

    Simple steps. I was guided by personels at each & every step. You also have to look for your Token number before you reach a counter, at the TV provided at PSK. You are required to carry Original & Xerox of respective documents (No. 01-08)

 4. You'll be called by your respective thana (Police Station), for Police Verification. (Within 1 month from the Appointment Date.)

      I was called at the registered mobile number & was asked to visit the regional police station or 'Thana', along with the Original & Xerox of all the mentioned Documents (No. 01-12). 

*Remember*---*All my documents were not accepted on the first day, though my Documents were very much correct. Those were accepted on the second day when I paid the policeman, a bribe of ₹400/- in an envelope.* (The rate varies-- One of my friend paid ₹300, while another one paid ₹500.)

 5. You wont have to do anything more. You can track your Status for your file number at the Passport India Website mentioned above, or at the mPassport Seva app at your mobile devices.

6. You will receive the passport at your registered adress within another 1-month from the date of Completion of Police Verification.

    I finally received my Passport on 18/03/2015. The postman asked for some amount & he was paid ₹20/-.

[The steps will be this easy & smooth if you have all the above mentioned documents. You can either apply for NORMAL, if you have atleast 3-months of time in your hand. If required immediately, apply for TATKAL.]

Since, I subscribed to the SMS seva, below is the screenshot of the whole process, my Passport had gone through-

  Important : Do not get in touch with any 'Agents'. They will unnecessarily take excess amount from you. The steps, now-a-days are so simplified, that you don't really need any external help. 

Hope this information helped you in some way or the other! Happy Passport-ing! :D 

Dilwale Shah Rukh 'Only' Can !

He is the King of Hearts. He knows how to win hearts. He is the King of Romance. He is the King of Bollywood. The Second-richest entertainer in the world, he is the undisputed Badshaah of Bollywood.

He is ruling the hearts of many, since Decades. His book, which he started writing some 20-odd years ago, named "Twenty years of a Decade", may not have yet ended, but surely one fine day, we will get the opportunity to read something like "Hundred Years of Five-Decades" or so on..., authored by him. Atleast, I 'HOPE' so.

He is none other than Shah Rukh Khan. He is the one, who has taken the Indian Film Industry at World Stage. He is the one, whose name is equally famous everywhere, be it Domestic or Overseas.

His craze is breath taking. One will always feel the sense of pride & happiness, being SRK lover (fan). 

He is also the King of creating History. His movie Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, just completed 1000-weeks run at the Box Office. For the past 19-years it has been continuously running at Maratha Mandir, Mumbai. His charm, wit, acting, emotions graced the film to another level. Along with itShah Rukh Khan, obviously, comes the epic love story & direction by Aditya Chopra.

Guess what? A thought is just striking my mind....according to Aditya Chopra, when SRK was not giving his confirmation, whether he would sign the film or not, Adi Chpra actually thought of casting Saif Ali Khan. I wounder how would have this movie ended in box office & how long would it had managed to run at theatres. :P

There has been a hell lot of celebrations for the casts of DDLJ, be it the special event at Yash Raj Studio, or be it at Comedy Nights with Kapil (with Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal, & Puja Ruparel), or be it at Maratha Mandir, where SRK & Kajol went to celebrate with the general Audience.

Due to the #1000weeksOfDDLJ celebration, the movie is been shown all over India at selected Halls, throughout the 1000th week. I, just returned home watching the movie at Navina Cinema, Kolkata, and the experience has been priceless. Each & every scene of Shah Rukh Khan was greeted by Seetis, Applauses & Loud Cheers. It was like no other actors were able to make an impact & impress the audience watching DDLJ. The Audience consisted of a child, about 5-6 years of age to Aged persons, nearly 80-85 years of age. The environment was electrifying. The experience was phenomenal. Its an Evergreen & Priceless Movie. What feels great, is that, people still love watching the movie, even after 19-years of its release. It was like witnessing the history. The hall was almost housefull with just 4-5 seats left. This is his charm & impact on a Movie theatre screen.

Coming back to television, I watched the 2 episodes of Comedy Nights with Kapil, which were aired on 13th & 14th December, 2014 on Colours TV for the 1000weeks of DDLJ. There was so much wit, humour, fun & tidbits about Dilwale Dulhaniya......!

I was spell-bounded by the amount of cheering was done by the crowd (audience) present there. They all gave standing ovation to him , and believe me- It really feels great when audience greets, complements & cheers your idol. What a view it was. This is what, shows how much, so many people, Love & Respect him. This is what he is meant for.

He is the King of Hearts, the Badshaah of Bollywood, & the Undisputed King in the Indian Film Industry. Cheers to him & on his success. May he be blessed with all Health & Happiness in life. May he keeps on offering us 'Legendary' films like DDLJ, again & again. May his book finally be published.

Till then, will have to read the book, "Aditya Chopra relieves......Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge". :D

And yes......only Shah Rukh Khan can achieve this. He only can create history. Only he can be the 'Lover Boy' - "RAJ"....Naam toh suna hi hoga! ;)

Come....Fall in Love..!

Jab Tak Hai Jaan - Feel the Ultimate Love

Jab Tak Hai Jaan – The Ultimate Love Story

Cast :- Shah Rukh Khan (as Samar)
                 Katrina Kaif (as Meera)
                 Anushka Sharma (as Akira)
                 Anupam Kher
                 Rishi Kapoor
                 Neetu Kapoor

Director :- Yash Chopra

Words will not do justice to the swan song of a great filmmaker, but one has to try. So here it goes.
Some people really know how to make a film. Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) is Yash Chopra’s last film as director and it’s a film rich in philosophy, poetic love and honest emotions. Like any piece of commercial cinema, it has its cinematic liberties and plot holes. But the sum of it is an old school love story that weaves its magic on the tender hearts of die-hard romantics. The King of romance lives up to his epithet.

The film is based on the love story of Samar Anand (ShahRukh Khan) and Meera (Katrina Kaif), about how they fall in love,then get separated & then again patch up with lots of twists and turns. The film starts off in London where Samar is a desi boy desperate to earn an honest living in a foreign land. He runs into the ravishing Meera who entrusts all her faith in Jesus. Samar helps Meera get over her pent up anxieties and in the process they fall in love. And just when you think the film’s running into the oh-we’ve-seen-that-before territory a twist separates the lovers. SRK’s forced to move to India where he runs into the boisterous Akira. Akira’s daredevil personality and spirit impresses Samar. But of course she’s alive and happening because she loves him.

The story seems like a run-of-the-mill love triangle but there’s more to their dilemma than just the obvious. You don’t have melodramatic and unreal sacrifices or two women competing to woo their man. Instead you get a mature sense of camaraderie between the characters. And some master class writing where the same-old same-old “yadaash kho jaana” is crafted in the form of retrograde amnesia. 

A.R.Rahman’s music at the background adds a touch of magic to the film.

JTHJ is (according to me) the best Romantic cinema made in this Generation. A hallmark film. A must-watch film.

The film should get minimum 4/5 at the critic’s corner.

FINANCIAL PLANNING

FINANCIAL  PLANNING

Just like how a house needs a strong foundation to withstand the elements, one needs to have a solid financial foundation. Creating our financial foundation requires that we have the basics covered. Here's what we need to know.

Budgeting

At the very basic level of personal finance we are dealing with a budget; we make money and then we spend that money. Even if we haven’t created a detailed and written budget we continue to budget on a daily basis. When we are faced with spending money on something we think about it and realize that by spending that money we will not be able to spend that same money on something else.
Once we can see the inflows and outflows of our money we can optimize our spending so that necessary items are sure to be covered while cutting back on wasteful spending that will allow us to save money.

Cutting Expenses

After creating a budget we should begin to see where expenses may need to be reduced in order to meet our goals. For some people this means eating out less and for others it could mean getting rid of that extra vehicle. Whatever the case may be, everyone has an area or two where money can be saved by reducing some basic expenses.

Insurance

Insurance is important because we have worked hard to build a solid financial footing for us and our family so it needs to be protected. Accidents and disasters can and do happen and if we aren’t adequately insured  it could leave us in financial ruin.
Some insurance policies are required and everyone should have these types of coverage but there are many other types of insurance policies that are probably not needed  and we could be wasting precious bucks that could be put to work elsewhere. There is a fine line between having enough insurance and being over-insured.

Saving for Retirement

Retirement savings needs to become a priority instead of an afterthought. The Internal Revenue Service has made saving for retirement even more attractive with special tax-advantaged accounts such as employer 401(k) plans, individual retirement accounts and special retirement accounts for the self-employed. These allow for tax deductions, credits and even tax free earnings on retirement savings.
Whether we are just out of college and have 40 years until retirement or we plan on retiring next year it is never too late to plan and to maximize your retirement savings.
