		<description><![CDATA[A device is statistically going to either break down within a year of it&#8217;s operation or would break down after an &#8220;extended&#8221; period of time. You are covered by the manufacturer&#8217;s warranty for the first year and extended warranties would not cover you over a very long period anyway. If you put these two facts [...]]]></description>

You cannot expect a person to shop around for a blood test lab or an MRI the same way a person shops for groceries. There is no dichotomy between catastrophic and other types of health conditions; one leads to the other, both for individuals, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dreary and monotonous Jagjit Singh had this to say about A. R. Rahman and his compositions. It&#8217;s really sad that an accomplished singer such as Jagjit Singh made this comment. That&#8217;s a sign of someone who&#8217;s essentially cemented himself in his own musical concrete.
