Today is Wikipedia donation day. They are asking about INR 150 in donation. Please do donate if you use (I already did, else won’t be posting).
I understand that the PAN number is a FEMA requirement.
Through the lockdown and the current economic havoc, I have realised the importance of paying, even if nominal, for things that you use. I am now paying for print (or it’s electronic avatar) media for example - no point crying over the death of independent media if you don’t pay for it when it is alive.
There is one shameful exception though. I don’t subscribe to audio mags even though I love reading about hifi. So I really should not write rants about independence of reviewers (Please see the movie “The Big Short” for a cynical view of how rating agencies and media supposedly behaved before the financial crisis)
And closer to home, donating small amounts to Hifivision also is not a bad idea - if you are using it for selling or buying equipment!
So whip out that credit Card if you use Wikipedia. And try going over that INR 150!
