AS per Indian Income Tax Act, 1962 tax on income of any person is arrived at by taking in to account income from all sources and after adjusting various exemptions, allowances, deductions and reliefs allowable under tha Act. Final result of this will be taxable income under the Act, tax calculated on this taxable income applying the rates as applicable for that year as amended from time to time.

Love is only Love, love and love. There is no true or false love. If its not true its not love ... its something else. 
Take shower before dinner,take light food with fruits and juices. Don't do any physical hard work before bed and read some good articles or short stories.
