There are many messages which make rounds for years via various network and still have 0 % truth in them.

 

Few of the facts which need to be circulated are :

1 . This message is for all those who have been posting on their walls and in all the communities , sending via sms and mailing that 1098 picks up wasted food. THEY DO NOT!
http://www.childlineindia.org.in/ 
You can see they themselves have denied this on their official website. Please spread this message and check out the website to know the other ways through which you can help.

2. If writing on Rupee note was going to be such a huge issue that it will cost Rs 2638 Cr loss per year to Indian Govt than the Govt would have issued this in public interest in all the newspapers and it would have been on tv, radio everywhere..But you will find this only on fb and sms.. Stay away from fake updates use your common sense.

3.Mr Prakash Bajaj is NOT the editor of TOI! He wrote a letter and there are so many points raised which are cent percent right but all this made no changes except making this man famous. Be responsible citizen do a reality check before you re-post anything.

4.There were political changes between 1980-90 in Singapore but NO lokpal was ever passed in Singapore. In 80s they started upgrading technology. Unemployment fell to 3 %, .. The peoples party which was ruling lost in 82 and there were changes in government. Thats it. Please do not spread wrong messages.

5. AIDS virus cannot survive out of body and so if a drop of blood falls in cola it is not infected. The message spread was anyways a hoax to defame cola company.

6. AIDS virus does not spread through an infected pin and no one is going to fix a pin on your seat to infect you. This was just to install fear in people's mind.

 

Please forward the message if you stand for truth.

 The ones relating to AIDS virus are wrong.... A virus by definition itself is neither living nor nonliving.... It may lie dormant for many years & become active when in a favourable environment... It can spread through blood....

@Darshana, Very nice, You put forward a valuable information. Obviously, these things are very common nowadays. As we Indians (mostly) are often emotional, so we fall prey easily.
