Priyank babu... yeh "[if !supportLists]" kya bala hai?

Yaar the blog doesnt support formatting, so if you are typing in Word and then pasting it here, it wont work.

Kindly remove the formatting and paste in plain text.
You can always use the formatting provided by the blog editor.
It makes a bit more readable without those wierd symbols.
