I apologize to all the non-miscreants from the non-cities which
go by non-names unlike Mumbai. That fellow miscreant and lover
of Pav-bhaji nonpareil (without appropriate off-sets that could
qualify the lover as well as the beloved) from "Canon" has decided 
to save the net hundreds of dollars by taking some educational lessons
including such entertaining trivia as which part of the cow's mate's 
anatomy goes by the name "Rocky Mountain oysters" to email. Considering 
the nature of the forum, which consists mainly of teachers and students, 
figuring out the said articles is left as an exercise. The stragglers
may email me or Kannan for the gory details.

It might have been a grievous error on my part to have dragged in
Fafat from Hawaii. Such a fatafat reader of posts, considering his
various engagements in such USENET offerings as rec.sport.cricket,
sci.physics, sci.skeptic, not to mention one elitist club 
which seems to have taken off recently, cannot be expected to
fathom all the nuances of a purist such as Kannan Subramanian.
Hence, his misunderstanding of Mulund having 12 platforms. A quick
phone call to my home in the M. neighborhood, besides burning a
big hole in my wallet, confirmed lack of such superabundance.

As for such gratuitous mention of ethnic populations in Ghatkopar
and other local strongholds such as Dadar, Byculla and that outpost-
on-the-lakes Powai and Vihar, that hated place whence beings with
a propensity to high GPAs come to haunt Manu aka Njan, less said
the better. As for Kannan's own favorite haunt, I am aware of no such 
place.  Perhaps, my long absence from the faraway place is responsible.
Same goes for the Chinese place (well before my time.) The only favored
haunts were the holy RK and the shop owned by Pandian!! (As for VT) Does
Jhunka Bhakar ring any bells? Oh well ..

I will leave this thread with a couple of trivia:

One more point was made by my better half. Since southward from Mulund
leaves almost all of Bombay, Kurla was posited as a possibility (purely
on the basis of platform abundance.) Does Kurla have platform 12? And why
12? Why 6:12 fast? The mind boggles. Especially when I think of the times
when there was an odd fast train (around this time of the day) which upon
leaving (Mulund or Thane, I am not sure) stopped next at Sion. (This
definitely suited my purposes - though the Biology lab which awaited me was
a different scale of carnage altogether.)

Lastly, my confusion about the origins of the scribe Ramesh M (indeed
a great name) parallels that of Kannan Sub. about mine. I remember 
reading something about lost souls in Colorado a while ago. Anyway,
I would give up my email account to be in the vicinity of the Mile-high
city. And, as for Minnesota, Ramesh's kill-files or pruning abilities
must be quite excellent indeed since Martillo Jr has escaped his roving
eye. My last concern is for his carpals and the syndrome involving some
tunnels what with his multitude of skills involving the use of digits, a
concern heightened upon seeing my name (and that of assorted forebears) 
typed out in full, with no "(sp?)" at that. While I am certainly
flattered, I would like to inform that even I, a mere mortal with my
limited skills use the function keys on my aging Falco to good effect.
And, to wit, limit myself signature-wise

Sthan.
