"Simple Pleasures" will be tax exempt ?

Soda makers are asking not to tax on soft drinks because they consider their product as "simple pleasures". Now here is million dollar question, how to define "simple pleasures" ? This list would be really big, as it can start from cigarettes till massage parlors’.
Why should this products are tax free ? Just because people can drink more ? I think each product should have tax, it's a free market, you can tax on everything, people can decide which one they want to consume.. Govt. cannot control anything by putting taxes on it. How many people are really quit smoking just because govt. put more taxes ?
If there are taxes on Cigerates and alchol and why Soda is Tax Exempt ?
Govt. put taxes as how much they are wasting or using natural resources (i.e. water ) and they should put some environment taxes too. So that if Govt. can get more income if they are wasting too much natural resources, and then govt. can use that money to correct that problem. If that company did not waste too much water then they don’t have to pay more taxes, so it will be depend on Industries to control taxes. It will be win-win for Govt.

Most of the food items are tax exempt in Most of US States. Fortunately this companies did not asked to mark Soda as "Necessity Food Item".

...the sublime art of hanging out

In this era where everyone is obsessed with money and everything is becoming more commercial and still if I told you there is Cafe where you can order whatever you want but there is no set prices for any food...do you think it's possible ?
Surprisingly ..the answer is Yes.. it is in India.

This idea Sukhmani Kohli made as a reality at Cafe Kaffee Kuchh in city of Chandigarh. It's very nice concept and something completely different than most of the people are thinking in India. Whole Indian market is becoming more Corporate Culture and few people like Sukhamani is going completely different way.

Cafe Kaffee Kuchh....is really fresh idea...few young people gather on every sunday...spent their whole day with each other. Bring food with them ....it's like big Pot-Luck party just to renew their frazzled spirits and start new week ahead.

I heard about Cafe Kaffee Kuchh on NPR on Sunday early morning...and the name Cafe Kaffee Kuchh was in my mind for whole day. People in US prefer mom-n-pop’s restaurants’ over Fast-food and chain restaurants’ . Fast-Food restaurants’ are here around 70 years. In India Fast-food restaurants’ are started just few years before, and people are trying to go away from this culture ? Does that mean Indian People just come to conclusion in 5-6 years ? Or Indians not appealed by Fast-food/mall concept very much ?

I don’t know this idea will spread all over…India ? Maybe …May be not…but one thing is sure Young Generation of India is thinking outside the box and that’s the most important….

I wish them all the best in their work.

...do you know smell of Cocaine ...?

You might answer as No, but wait as per American Chemical Society, 95% paper money found traces of Cocaine. So please open wallet and smell it...or just use credit card.

It did not answered the point that if users have any denomination bill how they will identify it has traces of Cocaine ?
I think lower denomination bills are more likely contaminated more, as cocaine is illegal so it must be costly, so if people are paying high $ for buying this, then they will have small amount of bill to snort it !

No brush..no pencil...still it's a drawing...

Until I saw this video I never thought that sand drawing will be this beautiful. This is real art, drawing on music ? Never thought this before, the way she is drawing by two hands, it's just an experience.
No wonder Kseniya Simonova won Ukraine's Got Talent.
You might heard computer Animations, here you will see Animations through sand.

Sometime I just thought why she is rubbing that nice picture, till that time now there is nice picture....
Please watch here

Inspiration from anywhere...

While surfing I found this video [Jyoti Raju] .

Raju learned this by own...and took inspriation from Monkey...that's really great. India has this type of talents...but this guys never get proper training...otherwise India don't have to satisfy on 1 or 2 Olympic medals... his vision is to teach this art to kids...how far he will successful...I don't know...but I think it's important that he is ready to teach others what he earned by his own...
