shriya: Hi Mala, I live very close to Dufferin and steeles area. max 10 mins walk and 2 min by car. Usually the area is safe and far from jane/finch. Many York university students live close by. If your daughter is not comfortable driving, Mississauga transit, GO transit, ttc, York transit connect @ York university and instead of renting she can travel by public transportation.
tamilkuravan: Jane / Finch is bad. Avoid living there. Dufferin / Steels was an up coming place when I was there in 2011. South and north on Dufferin is safe. May be Finch and Dufferin is also safe. There some places on Keele where York university students stay. It should be safe though we have some reports of sex assualts inside the York university campus. Murali

Mohanjeet: :)
Mishtar India: Ahem ... Suggestion 6 - - Try swithcing your taste to pita bread Suggestion 7 - If chapati gets stiff, wrap it in wet /damp cloth and microwave it ....for not more than 25 seconds...garma garam phulke tayyar All those men out there , try not calling it chapati .... Why ? C-H-A-P-A-T-I Chapat and Pati -both in the same word isint it ....
chandresh: Suggestion 3 - Simply get married as this experienced ex-bachelor BL) did!!! Suggestion 4 - Learn to make Chapatis yourself as this long married guy did! Suggestion 5 - this is a serious one - Try different brands - either from the same store where you buy your groceries regularly or even some other stores who cater home made chapatis.
BlueLobster: Aha! Finally a question for an ex-bachelor with a lot of experience. Suggestion 1 - I find that the secret is not to make the tawa too hot. Keep it on low and press on the roti or the paratha for about a minute. Then turn it over and do more of the same. It takes more time but the Rotis or parathas come out good. Suggestion 2 - Try to find some lady in your area who does catering and stuff.

mani_flowers: Mr.TK, why dont you take some time to read all the post here, i have posted this after reading each and everyone points, it was all started from halal meat and went different direction, i was also clearly mentioned that i was asking their opinion, and i was not answering about halal meat, i would like to politely ask you to read all the comments before you commenting on anyone, thank you very much
Rajagopal: Islamists have long been trying to portray Halal meat as a "clean/pure/healthy" meat for people of other religions. Nothing could be farther from truth. One of the issues with halal is the extreme cruelty suffered by an animal. Previous posters have documented this with examples and links. But,
JaiHo: HALAL should be is BANNED immediately. This is because - it 'IS' very Cruel. Atleast, we can stop TORTURING them before we kill them for consumption. Who cares what Islam/Mohammad/Koran says about Halal - there are far less painful ways of killing animals for consumption. Folks who read them are showing their Love/Compassion around the world.

icame: Keep the electric one. If you mow every 3 weeks, the grass clippings are really small. No need for mulching. You can even get rid of the bag from the electric one and let the clippings fall on the lawn, they will add nutrients to the lawn. Or you can keep the bag and create compost from the grass clippings collected in the lawn mower bag and other organic waste in your house like banana peel, leftover veggies .
Fido: Guys, One last q - I know I am going into a lot of un needed depth. I purchased an electric lawn mower 1 month back for a discounted $160/- all in. which is decent and has a bag but does not mulch. I am planning to buy one today a gas lawn mower which will cost me $245/- all in which has a bag as well as mulching blade.
icame: Yeah its a good one. Lowe's has a promo where they send you a $ 10 OFF code in your email for any purchase above $ 50. LINK Give them a fake or your real email id and get that $ 10 code. You will save extra 10 bucks. You might have to order online for a FREE in store pick up.

nalinigupta30: Hi boil 2% milk,then let it cool till warm,youcan test it with your finger,dip it in the milk,it should feel good warm then add one tablespoon of curd,mix it well and pour in the cantainer in which you need to set,cover and keep it in the microwave overnight.In the morning your curd is ready,place it in the fridge.I set it at night cos no one is using the microwave so it stands free for 5 to 6 hours.Give it a try.:clap:
sudesingh: We use the Milk from Costco too. Infact we use 2%. Here's what we do- 1. Boil the milk on the stove (remember to put on the stove :D ) 2. When the milk has cooled slightly, add a spoon or 2 of curd. We keep it in plastic yogurt containers 3. We keep the container either on the Hot Water Tank, close to the furnace so that there's a continous supply of heat.
morning_rain: I like Yoghurt storebrought. it makes excellent raita's etc. Even sourcream does !! :D

rajand: Must be talking to Shiva (we had a bootlegger in Baroda who used to sell desi liquor & we used to call his liquor as Shivas Regal after Chivas Regal). Ha, ha ! Rgds. Rajan.
rajcanada: After IG Panda, who says he’s ‘doosri Radha’, another officer says he talks to Shiva daily over the phone. His monthly phone bill: Rs 25,000 LINK
malgudi days: It is quite possible that this is a late onset of mental illness and if it is then it is very unfortunate and sad. I hope he gets the services of a good Psychiatrist.
meghal: I saw it in TOI too. It is pretty obvious, this guy is trying to hide his sexual orientation, by taking the refuge of religion Meghal

abu_siraj: of course, Indian education is not enough to compete with west. Except Information Technology, India lacks in all other technologies. More over corruption, scandals etc., You can buy Engineering degree certificates from very reputable universities.
san-hugo: One tip for aspiring immigrants (its not funny) - Do watch lot lot of american/canadian tv serials or drama movies (not action). The day you start to connect with them like you do with ektaa kapoor's junk, you are ready to come here.
san-hugo: Canada Authorities and employers are not only denying credentials to Indian degrees/experience but also of all other countries UK, europe, Australia included. There is no relationship between fake degree menance which is prevalent in south asia and job provision in Canada.

ftfl: That is a beautiful one. Keep on working with stuff like this and you will be the next mystery, short story writer. Keep up the good work. Freddie. :clap:

AshwaniG: This happened about a month ago near Lonavala. A guy was driving from Bombay to Pune and decided not to take the new expressway as he wanted to see the scenery along the old road. The inevitable happens and when he reached the mountains his car breaks down - he's stranded miles from nowhere.

gopalpai: Make a checklist, check whether this medicine is in your home or whether it has been recommended by your doctor... please DO NOT use it... Please Read Very Carefully - INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs ! only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time.... This is far more important. DANGEROUS DRUGS HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY DISCARDED BUT ARE AVAILABLE IN INDIA ....

RBO: Toronto real estate prices rose 1.7% YoY in January to a new average price of $748,328. That’s good news for sellers in the GTA, however it is a big irritation for homebuyers who have lead to believe government action would benefit them and create opportunities to buy. The GTA market is still a big market and only the Montreal housing market has a chance to outperform the GTA housing market through 2020. Housing markets in Calgary and Vancouver are down significantly. We are back to about spring 2016 prices. Speculators drove the prices from 2014 onward. So many people not able to close the house deal or just walking away. The value of the home just dropped by at least $200k in some of the GTA Area. All investors outside of GTA were propping up demand cause of easy money. Many regular families bought being greedy.

shaikhy: I am trying to fill up the application for my parent's sponsorship and the guide says that a copy of my brith certificate is required as a supporting document. Now the problem I am having is that my birth certificate is in my native language. And at the time of my birth my name was "xyz" and that is the name that is used on my certificate. After a month or so my parents changed my name to the one I am using now. I have the name change document with me and that is in english. Now ISB requires a certified translation of my birth certificate in case its in my native language. Where can i get my birth certificate translated and certified from? Does it have to be a Canadian office certifying that or the consulate can also do it for me? Also do i need to submit the photo copy of my original birth certi and also the certified translation?
