Consider another aspect- agency costs. I recently asked for a quotation for some custom work in php. To generate pdf and zip files from database with a dashboard. Agencies quoted it as roughly US$ 340. That is steep. So its good that a lot

India, Calcutta. But now all over India hardly one will be drinking tap water straight away. Some filter process is always done at point of drinking. These days its so sad to find every shop ordering a container of filtered drinking water.
