Chidambaram, then finance minister, announced a rather novel scheme called reverse mortgages, which promised to give senior citizens an income stream based on the value of property they owned.

PASS ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES & KEEP SMILING.
 
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" (In Case Of Emergency).

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!
 
Remember: - ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
 
******************************************************************

 If you receive a phone call on your Mobile from any person saying that they are checking your mobile line or
 
 If some gives you some offer/ prize, and ask you to press

#90 or #09 or any other number. End that call immediately without pressing any Number. There is a company in Pakistan that is using a device that  once you press #90 or #09 they can access your SIM card and make calls at your expense. They are misusing it to make calls from Indian numbers. Forward this message to as many friends as u can. To stop it. This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3 million mobile phones affected  by this. You can check this news at CNN web site!
