New rules

There are some rules like we can't take half day leave. Which is not applicable to India but I got email that email. That I can't take half day leave. That's weird.

Also, about expense. Sometimes when we travel on local transport for business purposes, we don't have invoice for that. We as per new rule we have to pay IT on that. That's insensitive.

Due to this I would have to rethink continue with oyster.
