I THINK THIS  IS A WASTEFUL DISCUSSION ...

thanks for your irrelevant advice

Thanks for your early reply and thanks for enriching our knowledge.

Thanks for enriching our knowledge. I would definitely look forward to contact you whenever such questions (unsolved) are with me.

Thanks for your valuable compliments. I noticed that you are a CA Final Student could you just guide me on final subjects whenever I need any sort of information on any subjects. I hope for a positive response

I have read somewhere that if you want to take best benefit of your mind than you must use it. If it's idle might have such questions in your mind.

nitin is right
