I hate it. Showing one's manliness against poor animals.. Men should show their courage at home. Let them tame their wife...idiots..vanduttanga kalaiya adakka..

India Donated to US

A friend sent me this:

Q.What is difference b/w India and USA?
.
.
.
Ans.
1.🇺🇸America produced Microsoft🖥, 
🇮🇳India produced Satya Nadella (CEO)👱👱

2. 🇺🇸America produced Pepsi Co.🍷, 
🇮🇳India produced Indra Nooyi (CEO)👩👩

3. 🇺🇸America produced Adobe Systems📖, 
🇮🇳India produced Shantanu Narayen (CEO)👱👱

4. 🇺🇸America produced CitiGroup💵, 
🇮🇳India produced Vikram Pandit (Ex CEO)👱👱

5. 🇺🇸America produced Berkshire Hathaway Insurance, 
🇮🇳India produced Ajit Jain (President)👱👱

6. 🇺🇸America produced MasterCard💳, 
🇮🇳India produced Ajay Banga (CEO)👱👱

7. 🇺🇸America produced Quest Diagnostics🔧, 
🇮🇳India produced Surya Mohapatra (Ex CEO)👱👱

8. 🇺🇸America produced Deloitte📊, 
🇮🇳India produced Punit Renjen (Global CEO)👱👱

9. 🇺🇸America produced Google 🔎, 
🇮🇳India produced Sundar Pichai (CEO)👱👱

And finally,

10. 🇺🇸America produced Quora📜, 
🇮🇳India produced Balaji Viswanathan.👱👱

It’s sad😞 to see so many comments📝 with negative👎 perspective which “completely disregard " the role of India played to mold those top Indians.

So here is a little stat:

1. Satya Nadella- B.E Electrical Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology

2. Indra Nooyi- (PGDM /MBA) from IIM Calcutta

3. Shantanu Narayen- BSc. Electronics Engineering from Osmania University

4. Ajit Jain- B.Tech Mechanical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur

5. Ajay Banga- PGDM (/MBA) from IIM Ahmedabad

5. Surya Mohapatra- B.S in Sambalpur University

6. Sundar Pichai- B.Tech Metallurgical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.

7. Balaji Viswanathan- B.E Computer Engineering from Thiagarajar College of Engineering🏫🏫

🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳Indian Schools were the ones to provide the “basic” for those geniuses👔 which created the roots for the 🌲tree to grow.
Proud to be Indian🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

LPG Payment

With cash becoming scarce, I was wondering how to pay for gas (LPG).

Here is how.

Go to MyLPG.in and choose your gas company (Indane, Bharat etc) and then you need to register yourself online. You need to know your distributor name, your customer ID (usually a number), your 17 digit LPG ID (you can get this from your LPG receipt) and your aadhaar number. Once you have registered and created a user id, you will receive a mail. 

You are all set now to book online and PAY ONLINE.
