A person can remain stuck in the established set of attitudes of 2001
or he/she can wake up and find out whether it is to his/her advantage
to follow what was established in 2001.

There is a document from the Information and Communication
Technologies Authority in which the words "legacy administration" is
mentioned. The postal charge to send a letter is Rs 7.00. The cost
of sending an email, excluding ISP charges, is zero if you are using
one of the free email services. Should I follow the old practice of
sending a letter by post?

I could not find anything about that so-called secrecy in the
Information and Communications Technologies Act 2001. Is it written
somewhere else or should I believe everything an official tells me?
