  Why don't you ask your parents when to have sex? Since you are going to get
  married when they want you to, you obviously obey their orders. You might
  as well seek their advice on everything.

Hello netters,

I have recently received an invitation from Mr. Suresh Doki,
of W.P.I, to join Ravinarayan's katha on 7th. of Oct. 
2001.
So all bhakt jan, chelas and cheliyas reach on right time, i.e,
5.00pm (tej) on the fateful day.   
This grandiose ravinarayan's katha is thrown by him due to
on going attempt on soc.culture.indian to ameliorate the
quality of articles and to ward off the spirits of Sree
Sreehari and other exorcists.
Beware! always keep chappals, shoes and babies with you.
Food will be served at fakir doki's expenses.

It only shows that Bangladesh still has some rabid jammati fundamentalists 
carrying the flags of their Arab/Paki masters. As previously said, pet Dogs 
are more faithful to the house than the masters themselves. No wonder pakistan
comfortably screwed Bangladesh 10 years ago, killing over 3 millions Bengalis,
with the help of Jamatees like your-self. Average Bangladeshi would be
very much relieved to know that your highness decided to live in non-islamic 
state of America and did not come to live in (islamic republic of) Bangladesh.
At least, you had some mercy on Islam.

Dear Anil, 
Thanks for the manners lesson.  In case you REALLY want to know (and I know

However, for the record, I wasn't just nitpicking you know, decieving your

wasn't really nitpicking, I was flaming. :-)^n: {n->large}. 
btw Maybe you see "this sort of thing" mostly on sci because you "don't" see 
it on other groups.... could be an interesting psychological study in and 
of itself, what one sees and what one "does not" see.

Can someone help me with hints on trying to get transcripts from

of writing to them or even sending out a FAX but I have a nagging

 In that case you forgot to mention that the Indian Hindus went
"cuckoos" for overwhelmingly voting for Rajiv Butcher Gandhi's
Congress I(diots) party!.  I remember in 84 a picture of Sikh
distributing sweets at a stand and on top of that stand a sign said 
`sweets for sweets', even thoa I found that to be distasteful(pun/sweets) 

the sign implied that we are just returning the same thing the Hindus 
did after Amritsar '84.  So basically leave it to a Hindus to have 
thought of something as insulting as that in the first 
place - "some nerve!"  Don't worry we still have to get our revenge
for "Blood for Blood" that was aired on the gov't run Doordarshan
TV during the Nov. 84 riots!  So maybe next time instead of coming
to your door with ladoos they will come with a gun.  :^)

Well I travelled Malaysian Airlines last year from Amsterdam to Indonesia.
The service was very good, and they in particular had a very good arrangement
with Garuda for getting from Kuala Lumpur to Indonesia and back again.
In-flight food is never good in my opinion. Malaysian's was neither better
nor worse than average.

Waiting is part of travelling... As for taxis and such, just grab what you
can get in such places.
We had rooms in Subang Airport hotel. Just one minute walk from the terminal.
Great rooms and excellent service, all included in the fare and arranged by
Malaysian Airlines.

Aren't you being a bit too sensitive here? I also travel non-smoking but 
those seats just behind the Business Class have very much leg space.
And _someone_ has to sit on those places, right?

Well, I travelled Air India this year; the service is very good but as far 
as delays are concerned: our flight was delayed by NINE hours, and other
passengers told me they had a delay of 24 hours a year before.
Luckily enough we easily got booked on another connecting flight, but Air
India had nothing to do with it, it was our own initiative.

While there has been a lot of emotional talk about Khalistan, I haven't
really seen any analysis about what may be the motivation for a section
of one of the most prosperous community to split away from the nation. It
is well known that till the 80s the Sikhs were and still continue to be
one of the most wealthy communities and their image has only recently been
tarnished by the terrorist activities. It is my personal feeling that it
has been their success which is ironically responsible for this mess. The
success of the green revolution plus the adulation they received from the
nation in general for their contributions made the Sikh community arrogant
and overconfident about their abilities. They(I mean a certain section of
the Sikh community) started beleiving that they were in some way superior
to the vast masses of Hindus and by staying in India their potential was
being underutlized as they had to carry along the rest of the nation with
them. If only they could get a Sikh only nation, they would be able to
achieve far superior economic might, perhaps rival the developed world. It
is this feeling of being weighed down by "useless" and "weak" hindus 
which has been the starting motivation. Of course, once the process started,
violence took over and now that cycle of violence and heated passions has
completely blocked out any understanding of this phenomenon.

Secondly this section  of the Sikhs also have a severe case of overconfidence
when it comes to armed conflict. It can be conceded that Sikhs are extremely
brave but when push comes to shove, in sheer numbers the Sikhs are so few
that any military victory over the Indian Army is impossible. I guess, the
community has to accept it as fait accompli that they are in India and have
to continue to make the best of that. Perhaps the opening up of the Indian
economy is a good step since it might bring in greater prosperity to the
nation on the whole and the Sikhs may realize that it may be worthwhile to
stay in the nation. 

These are only my personal opinions.

Amit

I agreed with most of the post. However, the above line
