Give PVNR credit for hitting the right button with Clinton. There is 
nothing that Clinton likes better than being compared with JFK. A little
more of that and he'll have Clinton purring like a kitten.

A very important point here raised by Gopal here. I would like to ask the
so-called Khalistanis, that all the noise that they make is outside India
and most of them are either permanent residents here,  or are citizens of 
this country, are they willing to give up their Green Cards, or surrender
their American Passports,  and go and join the so-called struggle for the 
land of Khalistan there in the battlefield in Punjab.  Not one I am sure,
is willing to take up the challenge.

Vivek.

I had posted a query about the feasibility of taking a cordless
phone to India earlier on the net. I had several replies
asking me to summarize the info, but just a couple
actually providing any info. Here aare the responses as
I hadd promised. In addition to these two responses a frined
of mine said that he had bought an emerson phone and a
voltage convertor and it seemed to work fine in India
Cheers

*******************************************
Hi

I've taken a cordless phone home before and am planning to take
another. I'd like to hear what others have to say, too.

(1) I'll try to buy a brand that has a good chance of being serviced
in India (Sony, Panasonic), even though that rules out SW Bell.

(2) 10 channels are better than 2, but I've read posts on the net
asking if these get impounded at customs. My folks in India hadn't
heard any such rumours.

(3) Batteries are usually available.

(4) All models will work (or so I think). Converters for the jack are
commonly available.

(5) Phones run Rs 4500 - 5000 in India, but phones here are of better
quality.

(6) Phones might be cheaper in Singapore. Will you have time to shop?

**********************************************************

	I bought in Singapore. Cost me about US-$80, for a real neat
	Panasonic model which cost $140 here. It is working fine in 
	Bangalore. I dunno if there are any technical compatibility 
	problems, we didn't face any in our case. Maybe I was just lucky,
	or maybe it really isn't such a big deal..... The salesdroids at
	Singapore airport know enough about the Indian Comm system to
	tell you what models to take...... If you don't mind relying on
	their advice....

   Sub: Identification of experts and topics for organising
         State-of-The-Art Seminarsa for the Electronics and
         Computer Industry.
         
         
         
       Department of Elecronics(DoE), Government of India, is
     implementing a project called  PROJECT IMPACT. with the
     financial assistance from the World Bank and Government of
     Switzerland  with a view to upgrade the Electronics and
     Computer Industries in the country.
       
     One of the programmes envisaged under the project  IMPACT is
     State-of-the-Art Seminars (SOA).  Through these seminars, it
     is  proposed  to  expose  Indian  industry  professionals to
     emerging  and   new   technologies  as   well   as   to  the
     production/process  techniques and  business practices being
     followed   successfully   all   over   the   world.  Leading
     Specialists from India and abroad will be invited to conduct
     these     seminars    in    metropolitan     cities     like
     Delhi,Bombay,Calcutta,Bangalore,Hyderabad and  Madras across
     the  country.  The sectors in  which these seminars  will be
     conducted   include    consumer    electronics,   industrial
     electronics,  electronic  components,  computer  hardware  &
     peripherals, and computer software.
     
     For the SOA seminars to  be most effective,  it is important
     that   topics on new technologies and business  practices of
     proven application are identified. We are now in the process
     of  identifying topics &  experts for the seminar  through a
     country wide survey.   However,  we will be glad if  you can
     also suggest some topics  (relevant to  the Indian industry)
     and names of experts (both foreign and  Indian  experts) who
     would  be  willing  to  offer  their   services.   For  more

fafat,

I don't know why you still continue your whining on s.c.i about 
"three computer whizkids vs. sridhar" (as you put it). I never
claimed that sridhar venkataraman is as worse as I am at systems.
He thought killing is easier for non-computer people like you, and
he was corrected. If he and you take it as some kind of competition
on s.c.i. and post lengthy resumes (as he did) or articles 
appreciating each other (as you did), don't expect me to jump in
to show all my skills on s.c.i. 

you talk about all woopie's ganging up to get the quality of s.c.i
down. well.. I should say that you are still reeling under the 
george chacko and co's ramlakhan episode. you talk about "wpi's
outburst" against sridhar's article on general kill for wpi.edu.
well, as far I remember, only a single woopie responded the way
you describe it. rest of the responses were more on how to make 
killing more easier for people than against.

if you (want to) think that I don't have any other work than to 
gang up with my fellow woopie desis to make a mess of s.c.i then 
I can't (won't) do anything about it. May be it's true.

a doki is enough to make a mess of it as he demonstrated. If you
have something against it, then say so. If you want to make a 
name on s.c.i "doing something good, unlike doki" (as you were 
preaching in one of your recent articles), please continue 
your endeavours. I do think you are doing well enough already
with those articles of yours full of wit and humour. Heh.

and if you want to guage doki's intelligence looking at his 
articles, then you might be interested to know that he spends
about 30 seconds on each article he posts. so much for articles
and intelligence. everybody is not like you.

anyway, give up looking at everything as an organized plot and
getting hyper.

  The probability of Khalistan becoming reality (3 to 5 more years in
the future) is more realistic than India being nominated as a country
abiding by human rights standards by Amnesty International.
 
  As for it being neccesary then justify to me the killings of Sikh 
youths in FAKE police encounters?  Attacking the Golden temple YET at 
the same time attacking 40 other gurdwaras?   'Organized' riots 
(Nov. 84/they used voter lists to find the Sikhs) to kill innocent 
Sikhs and the perpetrators of this hideous crime actually being 
rewarded with Cabinet posts?  Even Hitler's Nazi troops didn't get 
that much 'incentive' for killing innocent Jews.
 
                               * * *
 
Chander Shekhar Threatens Another Massacre of the Sikhs:  
 
  Once some political workers, which included Darshan Singh Ragi and 
Dr Gurmit Singh, held a sitting with Chander Shekhar.  When nothing 
could be agreed upon, Chander Shekhar threatened that "you do not 
know the might of our armed forced.  We will eliminate (exterminate) 
5000 Sikh youth and the world will know nothing about it."  When 
Chander Shekhar finished his "sermons," Dr Singh told him that "if 
you (prime minister) can find a solution of the problem by butchering 
our Sikh youth, you go ahead and do so, but remember that your 
administration's fake encounters have been going on since the 
Operation Bluestar of June 1984, and you have not been able to 
restore normalacy in Punjab".
 
  When a former prime minister of of India can get away with saying 
that (don't give me some bullshit that the current PM is different,
he to belongs to this cadre, which were voted in by the Hindu 
population of India) then what prevents Indian military and police 
forces to kill innocent Sikhs in fake encounter, at the 'very least' 
they will GET PROMOTIONS!  Can you Hindus sincerely give me a 
guarantee that mass murders of innocent Sikhs in circumstances such 
as Nov. 84 will never be repeated again - I doubt it.  If you cannot 
guarantee the Sikh nation it's basic rights and freedoms then what 
right do you have to stop us from achieving our goal of a 
sovereign state?

It is true that if you deposit a draft or cashier's cheque into an NRE account
you get a rate of Rs.30.xx
     I have done that several times. Besides if you have a savings account in
FLEET BANK, you can get one cashier's cheque every month WITHOUT any charge.
