The Gundekota File-Entry#15: Tips for Indian women models
=========================================================

Yeah, I've seen some strong images come across, from Indian women,
especially when they try to sell burn-your-skin-like-sulfuric-acid face
creams in the videos, although the images are more like matriarchs.
And there are motherly ones who convince us to wash clothes with Surf
or drink Horlicks, even when we've long moved to United States or some
no-oedipus-complex society.  Why, I've even seen Sri Devi on Devon
St., next to Gap's window, convincing all women to dress `around,' not
up or down, in a sari like her. Although I've seen most kids Gap-ing
in that street, while women go berserk with the sari scene and men
stand in line at the ATM machines.

I for one think brown skin sells. But the product has to be a
quintessential Indian make, and highly complex, like a plough. More
recently we have simple artifacts, like reinvention of the wheel,
built to fly around. Agni missiles and light-weight helicopters can be
sold in the capitalist ramparts with the right type of Indian women. I
will match Pooja Bedi to model for the missile, which is very
suggestive of phallus--and come think of it that's what a psychologist
said about Sadam's scuds--and Hema Malini to model for the
light-weight copter, so to say you can't fly if you aren't
light-weight. 

Deep down most Indian women abhor modelling for products that aren't
compatible with Indian `family values.' That means, it is a little
wonder that basumati rice, with stones, is their main staple. However,
they can take advantage of the post-modernistic society's
advances--Basumati rice, with stones, and a sifter, in a bag you can
open without the help of a rat. All right, rats aren't allowed in
apartments. So we will go with Iguana back skin.

For everything there is a simple way to start. In the case of
modelling the best place to start is a neighborhood night club. I
recommend all the Indian women to come out in bikins--wide, big, mini,
micro, nano and pico--to the night clubs and start mingling with
non-white men on the dance floor. Especially, college going Indian
girls can try this in their campus bars. But note that dressing or
going out for the sake of white men isn't going to help the cause of
splashing the brown skin on the modelling canvas. Indeed the white
canvas adds no color to the painting.

  Hi folks,
     I need some info concerning admission to univ's in the US
for someone with a BSc (3 yr program) from India to a Master's
program. I have heard that some campuses admit such students to
a 1 year program to complete the 16 yrs of schooling required
here to enter graduate school. If anyone knows of the campuses
offering this kind of program or anything related to this I would
really appreciate if you could kindly e-mail to :hkvarma@ucdavis.edu.
Thank You

  A friend of mine, Ramesh Vaidhayanathan, keeps telling me that
 Hindi is a very recent language.  Is that true ? If so, what
 language was spoken before ? 

He is particularly bothered uhum... curious why Hindi should be
 our National language. He thinks it is not in good taste to call
 India Hindisthani.  

Personally, I think it should be because every one including

Lets see... the dean of the college in which I studied said that 
roughly Rs 20,000 were spent on each student per year. So if a 
student takes 4 years to complete the degree, that amounts to 
Rs 80,000/-.

The fees that I paid was roughly between Rs 32 to 40 per month (hostel mess 
fees not included) depending in which year of my degree program I was 
in (lets take an average of Rs 35). So that works out to be Rs 1680/- 
($60) for a 4 year degree program!

Date   : September 27, 1992.

The Indian Home Minister S.B. Chavan invited Amnesty International to
discuss its report on the human rights situation in India. The report
accuses Indian security forces of human rights violations. Amnesty
International hailed this move as a significant breakthrough. The
Indian government has, in the past, refused Amnesty International
permission to enter India. Hence the group has had to rely on first
hand reports rather than direct investigation. There is no change,
however, in the Indian government  policy of refusing foreign human
rights groups permission to enter India.

		* END *

My opinion:

The Indian government should allow Amnesty International into India.
Such a move would reduce the chances of human rights violations going
unnoticed.

What's the difference between a truckload of dead baby's and a truck load of
watermelon?
The babys can be unloaded with a pitch fork!

What bubbles and taps on glass?

A baby gone through a snowblower

What's worse than ten baby's in one trash can?
One baby in ten trash cans

Yes, I agree. Strange that it is only from two that the similarity between  
Sanskrit and European languages starts. The Sanskrit 'eka' stands alone.  
Now do the Tamil 'onru' and English one have something in common?! Only  
Telugu seems to have made a proper hybrid in 'okati'.

Unfortunately, Mr. PARANANDI is quite obstinate and refuses to accept that 
there is nothing wrong in the above usage. I doubt if Wren and Martin says
anything else, but PARANANDI needs to stop making references to books he
would have probably heard somebody refer to.

whatever else before he assumes the role of the know all. If he thought

  My name is Vikas Agnihotri. I am from S.P.C.E, Bombay University.

   I have got a 50% tuition scholarship in Vanderbilt University.
But , as u know, even after this the expenses on my I-20 come to

   Please help me by answering the following questions :
1. what are the chances of increasing the aid?? do they convert the  50%
to 100% ??? Basically, i have got a t.w. and a graders job in U.S.U. so
i can be quite well off financially once i get a on-campus job.


So, my dilemma is that : Is Vanderbilt a good univ for C.S. ??? Does it have
funds??
   is it highly ranked?? compared to Utah State??? how is the aid scene??
is it worthwhile for me to transfer there???
  My advisor is Dr. Jeremy Spinrad. I am in contact with him. I have to first
get my admission deferred from Fall 92 to Winter 92. I have written to him!!
  Can u please go to him and follow up???

It is not for certain who actually kidnapped Selvanaithy. But it doesn't
matter.
Whoever did it are not doing any favors for humanity. I strongly condemn
such an act by any group(s) or anyone. This act shows total disregard
for literary freedom. I don't care whether its in Jaffna or in Tehran,
stiffling a writer by means of abduction only spawns more writers of
such calibre. I hope the kidnappers realize the worth of this foolish
