All-party declaration calls for immediate implementation of HPC-Mizoram Accord

Sakawrdai, Aug 25: All political parties from Sinlung Hills Development Council (SHDC) including the Congress, Mizo National Front, Zoram Nationalist Party and Mizoram Peoples Conference have called upon the Centre and Mizoram government to initiate talks with the Hmar Peoples’ Conference (Democratic) rebel leadership to solve the political crisis plaguing north eastern region of the state.

Coming down heavily on the government for “failing” to  implements the Sinlung Hills Development Council Accord, that was signed 17 years ago, the leaders said: “We are pained and disheartened by the fact that more than 17 years after the signing of Memorandum of Settlement between the Government of Mizoram and Hmar People’s Convention (HPC) on the 27th July 1994, the accord has not been implemented in letter and spirit.”

The leaders of these parties, in a joint statement, also called upon the Centra and the state government to initiate peace talks with remnants of the HPC rebels who are now called the Hmar Peoples’ Conference (Democratic).  “We strongly feel that, unsatisfied with the 1994 accord which was devoid of lasting peace and harmony, the HPC(D) is up in arms thereby creating disruptive atmosphere in the HPC demand area. The State Government and the Central Government must sit for a political dialogue with the HPC(D) for the existence of lasting peace and harmony in the area,” the leaders added in the joint statement released during the Peace Rally organised here today.

The full text of the All-party declaration is given below:-

To
Pu Lal Thanhawla
The Hon’ble Chief Minister,
Mizoram.

Subject: Representation on behalf of the people of Hmar Peoples Convention (HPC) demand area and the public declaration on the occasion of Peace Rally organised by All Party Leaders Committee, Sinlung Hills, Mizoram at Sakawdai, Saiphai and Suangpuilawn, on the 25th August 2011.

Hon’ble Sir,

In order to bring an amicable solution to the problems arising out of the demands of the Hmar People’s Convention (HPC), the Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) was signed between the Government of Mizoram and the Hmar Peoples Convention (HPC) on the 27th July 1994. As a result, the law and order situation in the HPC demand area has improved to a great extent. The people of the area are thankful to you for your past effort. However, unsatisfied with the 1994 agreement, the Hmar People’s Convention (Democratic) was formed in order to bring home the pressing demands and aspirations of the people of the area in general and that of the Hmars in particular. A memorandum in this regard (dated 17th November 2009) has been submitted to you. We also appreciate the initiative of the Village Council (V/C) Coordination Committee in creating a conducive atmosphere for peace talk between the Hmar People’s Convention (Democratic) (HPC-D) and the Government. We are also happy with the response of your government in this regard.

However, due to the non-implementation of the points as enshrined in the MoS after a gap of 17 years, there has been lots of resentment and dissatisfaction in the minds of the people. Moreover, due to intermittent disruption of normalcy and the existence of violence, the people of the HPC demand area lived in constant fear and insecurity. The people of the area have also appealed to the HPC-D not to indulge in any act of violence and not to create a sense of fear and insecurity in the minds of the people.

With an aim to prevent the further deterioration of law and order situation and for existence of lasting peace and tranquillity in the HPC demand area in particular and the whole state in general, the All Party  Leaders Committee, Sinlung Hills organised Peace Rally on the 25th August 2011 at Sakawrtdai, Suangpuilawn and Saiphai villages, Mizoram. The public resolution on the day of the Peace Rally are as given below:

On this day, the 25th August 2011, we the participants of the PEACE RALLY organised by the All Party Leaders Committee at Sakawdai, Suangpuilawn and Saiphai villages have unanimously decided to appeal to the Government of Mizoram and the Government of India on the following points.

1. We are pained and disheartened by the fact that more than 17 years after the signing of Memorandum of Settlement between the Government of Mizoram and Hmar People’s Convention (HPC) on the 27th July 1994, the accord has not been implemented in letter and spirit.

2. We strongly feel that, unsatisfied with the 1994 accord which was devoid of lasting peace and harmony, the HPC(D) is up in arms thereby creating disruptive atmosphere in the HPC demand area. The State Government and the Central Government must sit for a political dialogue with the HPC(D) for the existence of lasting peace and harmony in the area.
3. While Mizoram is celebrating the 25 years of Peace Anniversary (1986-2011), the people in Sinlung Hills area are living in constant fear and insecurity. And in line with the appeal of the Government to the public to selflessly sacrifice oneself for the protection of peace and harmony, we now appeal to the Government to take in their part all necessary action for the peaceful settlement of all issues.

We hereby request you to sincerely look into the plight of the people expressed through this resolution and take all necessary action in resolving all conflicts arising out of the demands of the HPC(D).

Yours faithfully

  If you are going to retrofit your home or office to improve heating efficiencies and reduce your energy use and heating fuel or electrical bill and billings it is important to know comprehend and understand “just how your house works”.  This will ensure that job and work will definitely meet your high expectations and you won’t be swapping a set of new problems for ones you thought were put to bed.

                  You should have a grasp of the basic building science that is important for successful retrofit and heating / cooling systems renovation and reno work and works. By doing so you should be able to successfully control the flow of heat, air and moisture both alone and in concert.

                      Firstly we expect shelter from our homes and buildings.  We might call the barriers and borders our shelters maintain to keep divisions intact as “the building envelope”.  In essence to maintain our indoor environment, this building envelope must control the flow of heat, air and moisture between the middle of the home and the great outdoors – the rest of the universe.

            What is important to understand is that cold does not follow into our homes – rather heat dissipates and flow out and away from inside to out.

              Hence the general idea is to seal this precious internally held heat from flowing outside. Hence the role of insulation and the sealing of openings – doors and windows with caulking, weather stripping and the like.

               Many homeowners are misinformed in that they think that heat only rises. Hence they reason that if they only insulate their attic and roof areas from leakage all will be well. They will be warm as toast and have low heat loss – and energy costs and budgets.

               This is not the case.  Heat will escape and flow from areas of high energy (hot and warm) to areas of minimal heat and energy. Thus not only does heat escape out your roof and up your chimney but from every contact point and wall that interacts and meets with cooler outside areas.

                 Hence the whole point of the exercise if you wish to have a more energy efficient, less costly home or building to heat and as well live in warm comfort during cold winter and fall season is to seal up and insulate your home from heat energy losses and flows from inside to outside.

                In the end keeping toasty while using as little fuel and energy as possible is as simple as that.

If you have ambition and direct it in the right area of your life, success is the only option for you. This statement takes some people by surprise, but it is something many people have found to be very true in their lives.

Let's take it apart to get a full understanding of how ambition can bring about great success in your life:

1. You have ambition.

2. You direct that ambition to the appropriate area of your life.

3. You become successful.

If this were math, it would be a simple addition problem. You add targeted action to ambition and come out with success. Now that you have a clear understanding of how the equation works, let's look at each part a bit closer.

Embracing Ambition

Ambition is defined as a deep desire to succeed. When you hear a child say with great confidence that they are going to be a doctor when they get older, you are hearing ambition. When you hear of a med student taking on a very risky topic or research project because they want to be published in a big journal, you are hearing a story of ambition.

Ambitious people set their eyes on something they want deep down and feel determined to achieve it. These are not people who sit back and let life happen to them. They look at the world around them and decide what they want their future to hold. They believe that they have the power and right to go after things that intrigue them.

Are you one of these people? Do you have your eyes set on goals? Do you feel driven to conquer those goals? If so, then you already have the first half of this equation.

Targeted Action

Ambition is not complete if it doesn't drive you to take action. The child may really want to become a doctor, but if they don't get excellent grades in high school and apply to colleges with great premed programs, they are not following through with their ambition. If that med student drops the risky research project in favor of something safer, they are showing that they didn't have the ambition after all.

Ambition is only complete when followed with action. This is the second element of the equation. You lock your eyes on the goal and then take action to lead yourself in the direction of success. Everything you do in life is guided by your goal. You make decisions in a responsible manner because you are determined to reach that goal. This is ambition at work.

Success at the End of the Road

If you are an ambition person naturally, all you have to do is focus your daily action on the object of your ambition. You will be successful in the end.

If you are not ambitious by nature, then you may have to work a bit harder to create ambition in your life. Now that you know what ambition is, this should be a bit easier. You decide what you really want deep down, then you make decisions that will point you in the direction of that outcome. If you make your decisions based on your ambitious goal, you will end up a successful person.

Johan 16:8-11. When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9. and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10. “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” 11. Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

Here, Our Lord Jesus clearly declared that “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." What we often fail to see in times of turmoil and chronic illness is God's will and His plan in our life. Some of you might have watched the movie "The exorcism of Emily Rose". The Pastor was in trial for practicing exorcism on Emily Rose instead of Psycho-therapy/proper medical treatment.

Emily was a very brilliant student who was committed to the service of Christ, it is hard to believe how God could consent to such her demonic-possessed life. Yet, in Emily's letter which she wrote the night before she died, we find the purpose of God in that pure and innocent & beautiful women of God. Why did God allow Emily to be possessed is everyone questions, her letter is as follow:

“Last night, Father Moore tried to caste six demons from my body. They refused to go, after the attempted exorcism. I was taken to my room and I felt into a deep sleep. I woke up few hours later on hearing a voice calling out my name. Again I heard a voice calling my name, it was the blessed Holy Mother and when I looked at her, she smiled at me and said ‘Emily! Heaven is not blind to your pain.’ I asked the Blessed Mother,’ why do I suffer like this!? Why did the demons not leave me till dates?’ She said “I am sorry, Emily. The demons are going to stay where they are! You can come with me in peace free of your bodily form or you can choose to continue this…!! You will suffer greatly, but through you many people will come to see the realm of the spirit is real, the CHOICE is yours…” Then Emily chose to stay…

In the end Good will Triumph over Evil, through my experience people will know the demons are real and that God is real. People say that God is death, but how can they think that if I show them the Devil? As Emily predicted, her story has affected many people. Emily’s gravesite has become unofficial Holy Shrine which continues to draw visitors from all over the world.

In this way we often fail to see God’s plan in our life when we are in pain and being tortured with chronic diseases. God knows people who love and is willing to be used in anyway. It is obligatory on our side to see God’s plan in our life as our Lord Jesus did “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above" To save many other souls, just one life is not enough. After all, the greatness of the reward He prepared for His children is something that we can’t fathom. Dear Lord I don’t mind anything, if only I can please you it is enough for me.

(A Speech delivered by Prof Lal Dena* on the occasion of Patriots’ Day Observation at Manipur University on 13 AUGUST, 2011).

On this day of 120^th years ago, the brave sons of Manipur, Koireng Jubaraj Tikendrajit Bir Singh,Thangal General, Niranjan Subedar, Kajao and Chirai Naga had laid down their life in defense of Manipur’s integrity and independence. Some questions may be raised in this connection. Was their arrest, trial and condemnation to death justifiable on charges of waging war against the British rulers? Did the British colonial officials have the right to intervene in the internal affairs of an allied independent country? Did the rulers of Manipur owe any sort of allegiance to British paramount power by their own deeds or otherwise? The answers to these questions can best be analyzed in the context of the status of Manipur vis-à-vis to British India during the 19^th century.

Manipur had established a formal relationship with British India since the late 18^th century. This relation was based on friendship and close understanding. Throughout the 18^th and 19^th century, Manipur had been an independent kingdom. The so-called sanads which guided the relation between British India and Indian native states were not operative in Manipur. In other words, Manipur was not a sanad state like other native or princely states in the Indian sub-continent. Therefore, the British laws cannot be applied to a person of another independent country. Nor does the international law permit this.

Was there any treaty by which British India could claim Manipur’s allegiance to British empire? The first treaty on 14 September, 1762 concluded between Haridas Gossain on behalf of Bhagyachandra (Jai Singh) and Harry Verelst on behalf of the East India Company was essentially a defense alliance between Manipur and British India. It was not a subsidiary alliance as it was concluded between Indian states and British India. The terms of the treaty was that the two signatories should help each other in times of external war. As agreed upon in the treaty, the two powers helped each other during the first Anglo-Burmese war, 1824-1826.

After the ejection of a Burmese army from Cachar by a joint British and Manipuri forces in 1826, Burmese had retreated into Manipur. Gambhir Singh, a young dynamic leader with his 500 Manipuri troops had driven out the Burmese army out of the valley of Manipur and across the Ningthi river. The actual liberation of Manipur which had been under the domination of Burmese rulers and their vassal rulers in Manipur for about seven years from 1819 to 1826, did not involve direct British intervention. It was accomplished by the Manipuris themselves on 22 January, 1826. By the treaty of Yandaboo on 24 February, 1826 which closed the first Anglo-Burmese war, both Burma and British India solemnly reaffirmed their recognition of Manipur’s independence.

The third and the fourth treaty concluded between Manipur and British India in 1833 and 1834 were concerned only with defining of the borders of Manipur with Cachar which was annexed to British India in 1834. A careful study of all these treaties shows

that there is nothing in them which affect Manipur’s sovereignty. There is also no condition for Manipur of ‘owing her allegiance’ to the British India. There is no clause in

all these treaties which directly or indirectly prejudice the state of Manipur as an independent kingdom.

James Johnstone, former political agent and Alexander Mckenzie, bureaucrat-turned historian, claim that Manipur, though independent, is at the same time a ‘protectorate’ or a ‘protected state.’ In the strict sense of the term, the so-called protected state was never incorporated with an imperial state. Historically and theoretically, protected states were independent states which at most voluntarily requested or accepted the protection of another power which promised to defend the former against all third parties. Moreover, from the standpoint of an imperial state, the purpose of establishing a protected state rather than a former colony was to achieve a specific objective without commitment to full control but to exclude some other rival powers in such protected states.

Let us now see the role and position of the political agent in Manipur. To what extend did the presence of the political agent make an inroad on the sovereign power of Manipur? The political agent was to act as mainly a medium of communication between Manipur and Burma. As occasion might require, he was also to prevent border feuds and disturbances which might lead to hostilities between Manipur and British India. James Johnstone, one of the most influential political agents has rightly defined the role of the political agent thus: “The political agent is dependent on the wish and pleasure of maharaja for everything”. This sums up the limit of the political agent’s influence on the day-to-day decision-making processes of Manipur and his presence was not related at all with the sovereign power of Manipur.

Another sensitive issue which was often the cause of anxiety is the issue of succession. For succession, sons sometimes murdered father and brothers murdered brothers and fathers. This is a common occurrence in the history of Manipur. But the question we are concerned with here is: did the colonial agent have any say as to who would be the king or ruler of Manipur before 1891? Could the colonial authorities in Fort William dictate the people of Manipur in the selection of their king? Gambhir Singh, by virtue of his own merit and strength became the ruler of Manipur in 1826. Nar Singh assisted his brother Gambhir Singh in the reconstruction work of Manipur after Burmese had evacuated Manipur. After Gambhir Singh’s death, Nar Singh became king as Chandrakirti, the infant-son of Gambhir Singh was hardly two years old. Devendra Singh succeeded his brother Nar Singh who died on 11 April, 1850. Devendra was of course given British recognition which was not conditional.

When Chandrakirti became mature, he made an elaborate preparation to regain the throne of Manipur and moved towards Manipur from Cachar. Chandrakirti soon gained popularity and a large number of Manipuri soldiers began to join him. Unable to resist Chandrakirti’s forces, Devendra fled from Manipur at night.

On 13 July, 1850, Chandrakirti duly became the king of Manipur. On the suggestion of McCulloch, political agent, British India recognized Chandrakirti on 3 October, 1851.When Chandrakirti nominated his eldest son by the principal queen, Surchandra as his successor, he further went to decree that thereafter his (Chandrakirti’s) younger sons by junior queens should occupy the throne before it passed to Surchandra’s own son.

As a result of the so-called palace revolution in September, 1890, Surchandra abdicated the throne of Manipur and left Manipur. The Manipuri princes then acted in accordance both with Manipuri custom and with their deceased father’s wishes, and Kulachandra became the king of Manipur in the place of his elder brother, Surchandra. Did the colonial rulers in India and their agent in Imphal make any choice as to who would be the king of Manipur before 1891? Certainly not.. Whoever became a victor in the war of succession with the support of the people was the king of Manipur. British India’s recognition of Manipuri king was based purely on political expediency.

All the above stated facts clearly show that Manipur was a de facto independent kingdom with de jure dependence on British paramountsy till she finally succumbed to the onslaught of the war in 1891. Judging from the existing sanad sytems, treaties and Manipuri custom, the British rulers had no right to meddle with the internal affairs of independent Manipur. The British action and its declaration of war against Manipur in March, 1891 can in no way be justified. Since Manipur did not form an integral part of British India, Manipuris were not the subjects of British India and they did not owe any sort of allegiance to the British rulers. Nor could they be tried by British laws.

In his last appeal to the Queen Empress Victoria, Tikendrajit wrote thus: “There never was any such reservation or declaration of allegiance on the part of any ruler of Manipur to Her Majesty…on 24 March last, Manipur was a sovereign state.” After 27 April, 1891, when the Union Jack was hoisted at Imphal, Manipur was thus reduced to a de jure independence with a de facto dependence on British India and since then the colonial agents in Imphal assumed the role of king-makers by saying that “the chiefship of the Manipur state, the title and salute will be hereditary and will descend in the direct line, provided in each case the succession was approved of by the government of British India.” H.St.P.Maxwell was made the de facto ruler and the young raja Churachand as a de jure king of Manipur.

What followed after the occupation of Manipur by the British forces in April, 1891 is a drawn conclusion. The arrest of Tikendrajit Bir Singh, Thangal General and others and their trials were just a mere formality. Maxwell had only one agenda in conducting the so-called military trial: to avenge the death of five English officers. This he did by sending Tikendrajit Bir Singh, Thangal General and others to the gallows on this fateful day in the presence of more than 8000 eye-withnesses thereby turning the Sanakeithel Pheidapung into a sea of tears.

Fellow citizens, as we are observing this Patriots’ Day, let us continue to uphold the Ideals, Values and Spirits of Freedom for which our patriots laid down their lives.

It may sound paradoxical that the historian, who is concerned professionally with the study of the past, plays a crucial role in the building of a stable future society. The historian tries to understand the emergence and evolution of a society in an historical perspective. To him, the term society includes every aspect of a people’s life- social, economic, political, cultural, religious, scientific, etc. The historian tries to understand the mutual interaction of these different aspects and how the interaction of these forces contributes to the process of change of a society.

Historian is concerned not merely with events, but more with the processes of change of society. His main business is to study and understand these processes through which a society changes and evolves to its present stage. As the noted historian, R.G. Collingwood has aptly pointed out, “processes are things which do not begin and end but turn into one another. There are, in history, no beginnings and no endings. History books begin and end, but the processes they describe do not end”.

What we are today is the outcome of the continuous processes of what we were yesterday. Beneath the current of changes, we still carry within ourselves and within our societies innumerable relics of the past. We may carry with us many monumental follies of the past. The past cannot sanctify these follies, nor does the present. At the same time, every civilized society, however imperfect it may be, seeks to impose new values on the living generation. These new values, if found lasting, are sought to be carried forward for the new generations yet unborn.

The real test comes when the historian is to pin-point what are to be discarded and what are to be retained. It is for this reason that the role of an historian has become all the more crucial and important. One noted French historian has said that “Quand les societes revent I’ historien doit rester eveille (when societies dream historian must keep awake)”. This statement beautifully sums up the importance of historian in a society in which he is an inseparable part. The historian is supposed to be a thinker as well as a doer. He must preach and practices what he preaches.

It is true that the historian is concerned himself with the study of the past. But the past which the historian studies is not a dead past, but the past which is still living in the present. His interest is limited to the relevance of the past to the present and the future. Can we draw a dividing line between the past and the present; and for that matter, the present and the future? Can one be really involved in the past without being involved in the present? Can one make a worthwhile reconstruction of the past without in any way contributing to the construction of the present and then to the future? What is today becomes yesterday tomorrow and tomorrow becomes today. He who confines his thought to the present time only will not be able to understand present reality. For the origin of things present are to be found in things past. The past and the present are closely bound in the same causal sequence. The historian’s duty is to diagnose these causal relationships existing among the past events in their relations to the present. The simple logic is this: to understand the present, we have to understand the past. The present society does not come from blue. It has evolved out of the past. The historian’s task is to study this evolution from the remote past to the present which are causally connected. Taken in their causal sequence, history thus illuminates the present life of any social group in all its aspects- social, economic, political, cultural, etc. In studying these causal relationships, the historian tries to develop general laws which should regulate the behavior of the phenomenon under investigation. The development of the laws necessarily introduces system or order in the knowledge gained. Unless such laws are developed, the phenomenon under study cannot be fully understood and the knowledge gained cannot be utilized for the benefit of mankind.

The present society can, therefore, be best understood in the light of the past. The past also can best be understood in the light of the present. “To learn about the present in the light of the past means also to learn about the past in the light of the present. The function of history is to promote a profounder understanding of both past and present through the interrelation between them” (E.H.Carr). But the historian is not to love the past. Nor can he make himself free from the past. But he has to understand and master the past as the key to the understanding of the present. Misunderstanding of the present is the inevitable consequence of the ignorance of the past. You cannot know the dead men if you do not know the living men. The faculty of understanding the living is, in fact, the master quality of the historian. The very names we use to describe old ideas or old forms of social organization would be meaningless if we do not know the living men. In short, in any historical interpretation as Prof. Romila Thapar has rightly pointed out “the needs of the present are read into the past; and the image of the past is sought to be imposed upon the present. The image of the past is the historian’s contribution to the future.”

No human society is static. It goes on changing and will continue to change. The historian lives and swims in the stream of this changing society. History is meaningless in a static society. History in its basic sense is change, movement and progress. It is progress towards the goal of the perfection of man’s estate in society. In such a fast-changing situation, the historian cannot afford to be a silent spectator. He has to watch the men, the things and the events around him. He must recognize the direction in which society is moving. He must have the moral courage to rise above the limited vision of his own situation in society. At times, the historian can be a prophet born before his time.

What is, therefore, required of a historian is alertness. He has to develop scientific temper to know the nature of the change of society. It is necessary not only to discover things as they actually were but also to know why they have changed in one particular way and not other-wise.

In the final analysis the historian puts his feet upon the past with the present before him. Then he looks forward to the future. His subject-matter belongs to the past. Yet his attention is on the present and his vision on the future. His ultimate goal is to lay a sound foundation because he wants to build a stable future. The historian can guide a society to avoid past mistakes and to manage better in similar circumstances next time. He can also guide a

society to anticipate a future course of events. Of course, this anticipation of future will not be a blind anticipation. It will be based on the past and present experiences. The capacity to project his vision into the future is, therefore, dependent upon his mastery of the past.

To conclude, the historian is both backward-looking and forward-looking. He imagines the past. He looks at the present. Yet he thinks for the future; to quote E.H. Carr again, the historian thus:

“peers eagerly back into the

twilight out of which he has come,

in the hope that its faint beams

will illuminate the obscurity into which

he is going; and, conversely, his aspirations

and anxieties about the path that lies ahead

quicken his insight into what lies behind.

Past, present and future are linked together

In the endless chain of History”.

Imagine this: you’ve finally planned a getaway trip to a place you’ve always wanted to go to. Everything seems to be perfect, till you see the cost. What ruins it further is that you simply don’t have the money to pay for a holiday as you just didn’t save enough through the year!

This article will be starting small and micro-managing your expenses. A lot of unnecessary daily expenses can be done away with, so that your savings get a boost, and your dream holiday becomes a reality!

1. Look at your phone plan!

Your phone bill may be the most innocuous looking white elephant in your life. Make it a point to run through the fine print in your phone plan, and ensure that it suits your usage. Do you tend to text a lot? Do you have a smartphone that requires data? Do you tend to make calls overseas? Make sure that you account for them with suitable plans. Moreover, get rid of the unnecessary flab as well. If you don’t need a certain plan, stop turning a blind eye to it and get rid of it soon!

2. Optimize your utility bills

Utility bills may be at the back of your mind all month apart from when you need to pay them, but they can be reduced with some precautions! In case you tend to have steep energy bills, try using your AC a little lesser. If you have an old desktop/TV with a traditional cathode ray tube monitor, get it replaced by an LCD/TFT screen when you can! Don’t be shaken by the initial investment, as you can’t be penny wise and pound foolish, can you? CRT monitors, air conditioners, etc. are massive power guzzlers, so use them with care! Use energy efficient lighting and open your window more often!

3. Public transport is useful!

If your means of commuting to work every day is a car or any other form of personal transportation, be rest assured that you stand to save a lot of money if you take the subway or bus instead. Gas prices have escalated, and shot well through the roof. You can save an immense amount of money if you just buy a monthly pass for the subway instead!

4. Handle ATMs with care!

If you tend to withdraw your money frequently, you’ve been to the ATM in your neighbourhood for long enough to know every inch of it. But there’s a catch there! Inter-bank ATM transactions, id est. the money you withdraw from a bank other than your own, have substantial surcharge fees. It doesn’t hurt to pay that when you’re in a hurry. However, your need for convenience shouldn’t make you pay too much, should it? In case your bank does not have any ATMs near your house or your office, switch to a bank with the most ATMS around you.

This article has dealt with some very basic steps of micromanaging your finances. But don’t take them lightly! Think of each cent saved as an investment into your dream. You will be able to live it sometime surely enough!
