| Caught in debt trap: Rescue on way
DELHI: One gentleman is revolving on 19 credit cards with an outstanding due of Rs 98 lakh. The amount is quite a sum. What is he going to do to bail himself out of the situation? The answers aren't easy. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
He knocks the doors of Abhay - a debt counselling centre set up by Bank of India - to seek help.
The organisation takes up the issue with the banks concerned, seeking time to work out a solution. The latter probably could be in the form of reduced interest rate or extra time to pay back the dues.
There is another instance of a businessman with huge loan outstandings.
He was later detected with cancer. In this case, considering the gravity of the situation, the counsellors advised banks to waive the interest component and increase the tenure of the loan to lower the EMIs.
Latest in agriculture planned for Expo
The expo will begin at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 15 and last until 4 p.m. It will resume from 8:30-1 p.m. Jan. 16.

He added that, "The expo means quite a bit to the town and the county."
The expo has grown to cater to an audience of nearly 1,500, according to Respess.
The expo will feature educational seminars on traditional Delta crops - including cotton, soybeans, corn and rice.
"Soybeans will be a hot topic this year," Respess said. "The farm economy has a lot to do with it."
He then added that, "We draw a pretty big crowd for these seminars."
According to the brochure, other seminar highlights, include bedding systems, policy and economics, pest management issues and grain storage.
Hawaii, ferry at odds in ’04 over environment
Higa told state senators last week that she has encountered roadblocks and questioned the administration's use of attorney-client privilege and executive privilege in withholding documents. Fukunaga was out of the office last week and not immediately available to comment about the material provided to The Advertiser. Haraga, who no longer works for the Lingle administration, has declined several requests to discuss Superferry. Staff disagreements over projects as large as Superferry are not uncommon in government and, since hundreds of documents have yet to be released and others have been withheld, it is difficult to build a complete narrative. The documents released so far, however, provide new insight into discussions between the department's staff and Superferry during the hectic final months of 2004.
The Expert: 'How I Would Save Britney Spears' Through Hypnosis
Before getting started, Mr. Wanis pointed to a comment Ms. Spears made about her father, Jamie Spears, to the Post last April. “I am praying for my father," she told the paper at the time. “We have never had a good relationship. It's sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman's love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now." This single quote, Mr. Wanis inferred, is far more telling than any of Ms. Spears' recent outbursts. “Ultimately, our happiness and peace of mind comes from what we feel and believe about ourselves and the world around us. Britney's greatest challenges relate primarily to her father. She never felt understood by her father," he said. “That [statement] relates to her subconscious, to the belief that she hasn't been appreciated as a child by her father," Ms.
