Hi Nettors!

Goodday!

This is requesting Indian students studying in Australia to throw some light

on the latest rumour spreading around amongst the overseas students at this

   What Seetamraju meant by 'telugu future' was in the context of 
   the people in Andhra, not those Andhras settled in TN. While I 
   appreciate your concern for your safety in TN, don't you think 
   you are overreacting a bit by seeking to stifle a discussion on
   the subject? To give you an example, wouldn't you find it rather
   unusual if a Britisher of Indian origin urges you to desist from 
   any discussion of the iniquities of the British rule in India, 
   fearing a (imaginary) backlash on him and his family by Britishers?
   On a more fundamental note, if you feel insecure enough to fear
   that your adopted land would still (after a few generations, I 
   assume) consider your "telugu-ness" as a factor in dealing with 
   you, and would blame *you* for some Seetamrajus criticizing them,
   I am afraid your supposed assimilation into that land is not as
   complete as you are leading yourself to believe; nor is that land
   as much a "safe haven" as you are leading us to believe.

   Both these are news to me! Would you care to elaborate? Perhaps

While I myself occasionally make fun of Visa questions, it is only 
good-natured and this is the time for me to come to their defense.

While it WOULD be a good idea for general questions to do to the
newsgroup you cite, the sad truth is that U.S. DOES NOT REALLY 
HAVE A GENERAL COLOR-BLIND NATIONALITY-BLIND VISA POLICY. 
Often times, the answer indeed differs, depending upon whether 
you are an Irish, or Norwegian, or Mexican, or Chinese, or Indian.

Therefore, certain questions and probably even most of them do belong
in the nationality-specific newsgroups.

The true solution to the problem of noise and traffic here is not
to prevent any particular type of posting, but to intelligently
SPLIT the present group into smaller ones. For example,

Correct. The explanation is given below.

There was a paper on this subject from Stanford published a few years ago. 
If I can find it, I will post a summary on the net. 

>
>Saify Lanewala
>stl@usl.usl.com

The physical principle behind dimpled golf balls and 'swinging' of cricket
and baseballs is the same. "Laminar flow separation happens sooner than
turbulent flow separation". With spheres and cylinders massive separation 
is unavoidable so turbulent flow is preferred.

In golf, the ball is dimpled and the boundary layer is 'tripped' into turbulent 
flow  by the first dimple encountered.  As a result the separation is delayed,
there is less drag, and the ball goes farther.

In cricket, the flow is made to separate on one side differently from the 
other side, creating uneven pressure distribution and a sideways force.
The seam on a perfectly shiny cricket ball, if tilted slightly to the direction
of the ball, will also 'trip' the boundary layer to turbulent while the other 
side is still laminar. If one side of the ball is rough and the other side
smooth, getting an uneven force will work even without the seam.

Spin bowlers prefer to get the shine off for better grip for spinning the ball.
Both polishing the ball and rubbing it on the ground should be banned as it is
tampering with the ball.

I am sorry if the explanation is not clear. This topic must have been discussed
on rec.sports.cricket and sci.aeronautics. Anybody who reads these newsgroups
and remembers?

I do not understand your reasoning and do not appreciate your language.
I am going for only of the states in question and that will be BIHAR.

I fail to see how you can say that Bihar is a parasite on the union.
I would rather say that the reverse is more true. Bihar is the richest
state so far as the natural resources are concerned and is among the
least developed states. It is also second most populous state of our
country. It is very rich in coal, iron ore, mica, bauxite and several
other mineral resources but has very few industry within its borders.
Among the major industry it has a petroleum refinery , two fertilizer
plants and two steel plants. It has a power consumption of about 800 MW
which is almost equal to ( may be even less than ) power consumed in 
Delhi alone. While its resources are being taken to different parts of 
the country the state itself has not been able to utilize its own 
resources.

May be now you should be in position to judge if the state is a parasite
or not. All this has happened in the second most populous state of 
India. If UP is given such pampering as you say Bihar certainly 
deserves a much better deal.

Bombay address and so does her to be wife's. 

The question is .

Can he go and apply for H4 for her spouse at any US consulate
other than Bombay ? e.g. say Calcutta / Delhi / Madras ?
How about some other country ?

Does he needs to have his current address as Calcutta / Delhi / Madras 
as the case may be ? 

Has any one done this ? Does any one have any information / suggestions ?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
