Add this line in the beginning of every script or possibly using a

Using Sodexo Meal Pass Card in BigBasket.com - How-to

How to Use Sodexo Meal Pass Card in Bigbasket.com Sodexo started to issue Smart Card similar to Credit Card--instead of their usual paper based vouchers.

But, again, it was a big letdown as I can't use it with BigBasket--where I usually use most of my meal coupon vouchers.

Some interesting notes: we need to fire the M.B.A.s and let engineers run the show. "if you can measure it, you can manage it" The only time Apple ever lost the plot was when it put the M.B.A.s in charge. "Shoemakers should be run by shoe guys, and software firms by software guys."
