Hi Netters,
I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who does not have
the net access.  He is in India, an electrical engineer, thinking of
migrating to Australia.  He has passed all the necessary examinations,
etc.

He would like to know "how it is there?".  Life, people, food, things
you'd want to know if you were migrating to a new country.

Please mail your replies to 5606acharyak@vms.csd.mu.edu

Thank you all,

Kandarp Acharya.

Ishmael and Issac are not the same people.  They are both sons of
Abraham, however Ishmael (Ismail), forefather of the Arabs, was born
of Hagar, Sarah's Egyptain maid whom Abraham married.  13 years later,
Sarah gave birth to Issac (pregenetor to the Hebrews).

Just a point of clarification.

Subject: LOVE Marriages & ARRANGED Marriages: A Comparison
Keywords: Romance, Dowry, Male chauvinism, commercialization.
Organization: The Ohio State University
Distribution: usa
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1992 03:41:57 GMT

     With a lot of discussion going on about the above topic. I thought I 
could try to list some dis/advantages of the two here:

Advantages  of Love Marriages:

i)  This type does not allow the survival of the Caste system.

ii) Commercialization of the process via...dowry/expenses borne by a single
party. etc does not happen.

iii) The most important is that you are not pushed in to a lifetime committment
with a stranger (and you do not decide your life partner in a matter of few
hours/few days)

iv) It gives you a lot of confidence and independence and you do have a
romantic experience (beleive me.... it is true).

v)  Above all, you regard your wife as another entity who is capable of
sharing an equal  role in your life....you do respect the other person's
feelings and you get rid of your illusions about male superiority etc.

Disadvantages:
     You do not get any dowry....or  in a more sophisticated manner: you do nt
get nice gifts from the brides side. You cannot blame you parents on any
problems/failures.....ie you cannot be a parasite  and expect your parents to
get the w2hole job done. You cannot expect a  social status in your
caste/tribe/group/clan/village/town/colony.

Arranged marriages and their advantages:

i)  As a male, you get a lot of money/gifts...thanks to the great Indian
tradition and the great Indian culture.

ii) Your mom and dad feel happy and you save the family name and tradition and
you become another part of a cyclic process that has gone for centuries.

iii) You can select the bride from a variety of colors/degrees/regions and
infact during the process of selection you get to eat all goodies (halwa, vada,
.bajji sojji etc) at the expense of the other party...all free with no
commitments or hard feeligs or (infact with no feeling at all)

Disadvantages:

i) A mechanical cycle of life in which your decisions do not really have any
importance.

ii) Being a bit more staright forward....you sleep with someone whom you have
never met before... and in other words you kind of reduce your parents in to
pimps in the name of tradition/culture.

Hi There,

Looking at all the fuss that has been created over matrimonials
I cant help smiling. Take a look at this saying and you too would
smile

	Marriage is like a wall
	With bachelors on one side and married men on the other
	People from each side are eager to jump the wall and go
	to the other side.

When you get married, just remember this.

	Hi! Netters,

		We are 3-4 students from the University of Louisville who
will be visiting India during this summer. I have the following questions to
pose to those of you who have had the experince of going to Bombay thru' Gulf-
air from the US via Abudhabi :

	#1. Is the duty free-shop at Abudhabi open 24 hours?
	#2. Is the price of Gold/Electronic items less expensive when compared
	    the prices at the US?
	#3. Do they accept credit cards at the duty-free shops?
	#4. Will the custom authorities at Bombay treat us with the same eye of
	    of suspicion which they do for the visitors from the Gulf (or) will
	    they know that we're travelling from the US and not the UAE?
	#5. Has there been any case of baggage lossage the reason for which
	    people fear to travel thru' the Gulf-air?
	#6. Are there any special advice for those of us who are travelling
	    thru' the Gulf-air?

		I would certainly appreciate if any of you netters would share
your experiences with the Gulf-air. The suggetions/comments could be directly
posted to the net (or) may please be forwarded to the following email addr. :
j0srin01@ulkyvx.louisville.edu

 AGNI was scheduled to be launched in Mar'92 but has been postponed till
end of May. Reason probably being failure of last Prithvi flight in Feb'92
Now the AGNI people want to be doubly sure of their endeavour before
they go for this launch.
About ASLV the last two failures have certainly been a setback to our 
space program but their next launch doesn't seem to be very far.

       Some Indian women have a great sense of humor. They say things
like, "ALL Indian men have these fixed notions about women".  They do
have some admirers who ask questions like, "Oh sick Indian male. If
your wife wants to streak through Central Park during the next lunar
eclipse will you be so merciless that you will discourage her, you sicko!"

P.S: One possible answer to the above question is, "Have mercy on the muggers".

Actually the lakhs (perhaps crores) of rupees that madras based film artistes
receive are for the films made by the Khammas of Coastal Andhra Pradesh,
and are made by Khamma heroes and Tenali Heroines. So having a film
industry in Madras is not the problem. We lost Madras to Tamilnadu,
which we should not have. Perhaps we got Tirupathi in return.

Kamaraj was not power hungry. Actually It is difficult to come across 
a single politician of the capabilities of Kamaraj in the post-nehru era. 
He should have become the primeminister. But you see till last june, it was
the prerogative of the unruly mob from UP and Lawless Bihar. So don't
bring Kamaraj into disrepute without knowing much.

K.M. Munshi was never considered as a historian. He was

	Thanks for writing the story of Bharadwaaja.

	Our scriptures also say the following on the subject:


	- Ahankara (i.e., the sense of doership) is indeed very subtle.

	- Even Bhakti can lead to ahankara. [there are similar stories].

	- Gyana leads to Bhakti.

	- Bhakti leads to the "ultimate" Gyana.

	- There are [in reality] as many paths as the travellers.

	- The above also means that there is no path.

	- To see that I am not and only the Lord is is Bhakti.

	- To see that ego is not and only the Self is is Gyana.


	Please keep on posting on these subjects.
