  They don't denigrate Gandhi. And do any anti-muslim propoganda.
  BUT IT IS A FACT THAT THEY INDEED PROJECT THE TRUE PICTURE. NO 
  VERSIONS, JUST THE TRUTH. AND YOU JUDGE BY IT. They quote instances
  from history, without any hesitation. I've even verified some times
  and found always that what they said was true.  Many times I even used
  to question the different aspects, and was always given the right 
  references to verify what they have said. AND I FINALLY REALISED
  THERE IS LOT OF Nuisance spoken outside because of the selfish motives
  of people involved. Any way a lot has been spoken about this Organisation 
  in the past 67 years. BUT The Organisation grew. And people from this 
  Background are entering into different arenas, and are working towards
  a Silent Revolution.

  WHAT IF THE ELDERS ARE GUIDING THE ORGANISATION FROM WHICH SO-EVER PLACE. 
  Even I have attended shakhas, atleast I never found this Propoganda type of 
  stuff, which you are trying to give.  The organisation has its Discipline 
  structure and as far as the Organisation is concerned, every body follow 
  that. 

  ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THAT YOUR FRIENDS WERE BROUGHT TO A STATE OF HYPNOSIS

Well, there is news for you. The "finger" command is of no use here. All that
has to be done to change the username is "chfn <login>", and the utility asks
for the full name etc. These parameters can be changed at the discretion of a
individual user. Here except the login name, everything else can be changed.

It's pretty sad that the only people trying to counter the fanatical

members of the VHP (of "Ram Janmabhoomi" fame).  We have a large

 Hi Rohit,

 it is obvious that you are pro-life. Now, do you support CAPITAL 
 PUNISHMENT? Do you know how many of these people with souls support
 capital punishment ? Do you know any of these pro-lifers who actually
 adopt these unwanted babies brought into this world ?  The so called
 people with souls are typically conservatives who oppose most social
 programs to assimilate the poor into the rest of the society. How
 do you reconcile this two-faced approach to life ? Abortion is
 not a black and white issue and you can not claim moral high-ground
 based on your pro-life stand. If you insists on bringing the child into
 this world then you must stand by and bear the responsibility for the
 real life of this child after it is born. If it starves or goes into
 a an orbit of drugs/crime/jail because the society couldn't provide
 the child subsequent care, then you pro-lifers are responsible. If your 
 lord told you about the soul in the cow, did he tell you it's ok to
 steal its milk or kill it and eat its meat ? If you are not a meat
 eater then did your lord tell you that plants don't have souls because
 you have no choice but to eat them ?  You drew yourself a convenient 
 line beyond which everybody is immoral, but stand back for a minute and 
 think again. YOu have no more right to make a judgement call than the
 next person and you yourself say that Susan's view on sanctity of life
 is much stricter than yours. There is a contradiction right there.

Because they are afraid that they will meet their sexual opposites.
Dig the double entendre.

Seriously, I think the society from where they came, never really 
enouraged them, doesn't currently encourage them and has no plans to
change, to take care of themselves by themselves and for themselves .
The typical Indian girl I know relies on her parents, brothers, or
some male support to find a match for her. Marriage is their salvation
and virginity is their karma. They much rather con themselves into
thinking that life begins after marriage. Life may begin all right,
but chances are it is not as good as they dream. But hey I am not a
pessimist. Indian babes will date when pigs fly.

  This is not flame mail,but a question from one of the frustoes
  on the net.
  If you are interested in helping your friend this is not the tone
  you should have adopted.It purports to say that you do not expect
  anybody who is content or not FRUSTRATED to seek a deep and

My friend also had the same type of experience. There is a 1 day halt,
11:30 am to early morning , at Bucharest, and the hotels are worse. It
seems that you have to take your own towels, soaps, etc to the hotel,

...and ...if some problem with the airlines...you have to stay there for the

I thought of a nice story that I'm sure will not go unappreciated.

here is how it goes:


While people like me spent this summer in the unexciting environs of India
our adventurous 6-footer decided to explore the intricacies of the
UNIX operating system. However upon reaching louisiana where such
research was planned to be carried out, and after collecting data on
the female species amply present there, he decided to explore other
things. Having seen my own modest success ;-)  with the other species
he assumed it would be a piece of cake for someone of his 6-feet
height (and 1-foot other) abilities to seduce the innocent women of
Louisiana. Latest reports arriving from our correspondent indicate
however that he met with limited success, infact total failure in this
venture. Upon return he was observed to remark 

"I'm a six footer, my father is an NRI and I've a gudu one. Doki
doesn't have any of these qualities; yet he gets all the babes. There
must be something that he has that I don't have. I must 'explore'
this." 

The latest reports from our correspondent at WPI confirm that he has
indeed completed his exploration and found something that Doki has
that he doesn't have....... the last name.

>Nickname: Dicky

News coming in as I send out this bulettin, indicate that our 'friend' 
has been accepted into the most popular girl sorority in the school )
and enjoys immense popularity there. One hopes the girls use condoms.

Dear Netters:
    I'm trying to do a little match-making for an old friend of
mine. Someone has to, otherwise, this person will never test the
'apple of wisdom' (i.e., marriage!) and feel miserable like us.
    My friend is old, or should I say middle-aged (45 years), short 
(should I say 'medium height', 5 feet 4 inches), semi-bald but
handsome (think of J. L. Piccard of 'Startrek:TNG !), medium-built,
good-natured (too good to find a wife yet!), kind-hearted (his students
will not testify for this!) but strong-willed person. He is never 
married before or anything of that sort (actually he never had the 
courage to do so). He is 'so-called' established and accomplished
(asociate professor, has tenure, own research program, has own
house, no other responsibility, US citizen). He is Bengali (but not
a cynic!) and currently located in the South. Did I leave anything
out, except he is a good cook (he had to be, he learnt the heard way)?
    Any alliance, direct or indirect, from the side of a prospective
bride will be highly appreciated. Please use my address, it will
automatically be forwarded to my friend (I'll not read it!). Each inquiry
will be acknowledged.
