Sometime ago, the competition commission of India (CCI) imposed a penalty of Rs. 630 crores on the largest real estate company of India, the DLF. This was hailed as a landmark judgement. CCI is an institution created to ensure that no institution or company exploits its dominant position to create a monopolistic situation in the market by unfair means. CCI has taken a serious stand against DLF and termed the violation as the “grossly abusing its dominant position”.
What was the issue?
There have been complaints against real estate developers over the last couple of years on incomplete projects, delays in possession, and in some cases, irresponsible responses to critical situations. Thi

Host Scott Simon notes that the Quaker on the cover of the Quaker Oats box has gotten a makeover.
Has the guy on the Quaker Oats box been doing Ashtanga yoga? The white-haired man with pink cheeks under a broad black Quaker hat is getting a makeover. Larry, as he is apparently known among ad men and women, is associated with heritage, trust, and quality by consumers. But after being an oatmeal cover boy for 134 years, PepsiCo, which now owns the Quaker brand, wants to refresh his image a bit to make the link between oatmeal and energy and healthy choices.
So Quaker’s design firm has drawn a new Larry. He’s lost about five pounds of oatmeal from his cheeks and chin, his Grateful Dead hair has been slightly trimmed to reveal a slimmer neck, and more of his sturdy shoulders.

Many times, simple is hard.
That’s especially true when we talk about overspending on stuff, which can lead to debt and stress.
It’s easy to say you’d like to simplify your life and buy less. But how do you do that? How do you harness the desire for material things? How can you simplify without feeling deprived?
Danny Kofke’s family of four has lived for years on his teacher’s salary of about $40,000, yet he doesn’t feel deprived.
He has a 50-inch, high-definition flat-screen television, and he has taken his daughters on vacation to Disney World. But he doesn’t have many other things his neighbors do.
It’s a choice, said Kofke, author of the book, “A Simple Book of Financial Wisdom: Teach Yourself (and Your Kids) How to Live Wealthy With Little Money.”
“We have nice things; we just don’t have it all,” he said.
Wanting less means he can afford to keep his teaching job, which he loves. Read full post…

To begin with why do you need flexible repayment options? The biggest advantage is that choosing the right flexible repayment option would reduce your EMI load! Moreover, it could help you avoid getting that adverse defaulter tag. Remember, if you had borrowed from a bank even a single default could deface your credit report and disqualify you from getting loans in the future!
Most emergency situations in life would need money to face it. And what happens if you dont have any money? Well, the obvious choice is to borrow money! At the time of borrowing most of us just sign on the dotted lines immediately after considering only the interest rate and the date of the EMI as determined by the lender.
