What is the difference between http and https ?

Time to know this with 32 lakh debit cards compromised in India.

Many of you may be aware of this difference, but  it is
worth sharing for any that are not.....

The  main difference between http:// and https:// is  all
about keeping you secure.

HTTP stands  for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The  S (big  surprise)  stands for "Secure"..  If you visit a Website or web page, and look at the address in the web    browser, it is likely begin with the following: http:///.

This  means that the website is talking to your  browser using the regular unsecured language.  In other words, it is possible for someone to  "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with  the Website. If you fill out a form on the  website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
     
This  is why you never ever enter your credit card  number in an Http website! But if the web address begins with https:// that means your computer is talking to the website in a Secure code that no one can eavesdrop on. 
You understand why this is so important, right? 
     
If  a website ever asks you to enter your Credit/Debit card Information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://.
     
If  it doesn't,  You should NEVER enter sensitive Information....such as a credit/debit card  number.

Before you give up, think back to the good times..

A WEDDING GIFT:

She married him today. At the end of the wedding party, her mother gave her a newly opened bank savings passbook, with Rs.100000 deposited in it.

She told her, "My dear daughter, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your married life. Whenever something happy and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the amount. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with your husband. When you look back after many years, you will know how much happiness you've both shared.'

She shared this with him after getting home. Both of them thought it was a
great idea and couldn't wait to make the next deposit!

This is what the passbook looked like after a while: -

7Feb: Rs.10000, his first birthday celebration after marriage

1 Mar: Rs.3000, she gets a salary raise

20 Mar: Rs2000, vacation

15 Apr: Rs.5000, She's pregnant!

1 Jun: Rs.10000, He gets the big promotion and so on...

However, as the years went by, they began fighting and arguing over trivial things. They didn't talk much.

They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world. There was no more love.

One day she talked to her Mother. 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!'

Her mother replied, 'Sure, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want, if
you really can't stand it.

But before that, do one thing remember the savings passbook I gave you on your
wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first.

You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

She agreed with her mother. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account.

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her. Her eyes were filled with tears.

She left and went home. When she got home, she handed the passbook to her hubby and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced.

So the next day, he went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes were filled with tears.

He left and went home. He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of Rs.50000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I realized how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.' They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe.

Marriage is not a game, it's not easy but it's beautiful. You will fight and argue, this is normal, because the both of you came from different background, different homes and you both were raised by
different parents, beliefs and moral. So you cannot expect that everything you say will be accepted by your spouse without their opinion being tendered first. So before you give up, think back to the good times and to what brought you together in the first place.

Giving up of Subsidy..

On the same lines as voluntary giving up of Cooking Cylinder Subsidy can't the  Politician appeal for Voluntary giving up of Reservation & it's benefits? Those who are well off, can/should think of giving up the same..But will the political class make such an appeal in the first place? And if this happens will they and the well off government servants take the lead and set an example?
