1] Of course you are right.
   Alls fair in love and war. Appealing to a womans protective instincts
   is part of the arsenal.

2] Yeah, but why do you have to have this sound of silence 
   when she says "hello" ?

3] Yeah, I agree, besides some of the people on the net have begun to take 
   this tamil baiting of mine seriously. Which is really bad.
   Needless to say that I hold tamilians and tamils with the same
   respect as I do other Indians. Just for the record I am no Kerala
   chauvinist. And I have made the remarks I did in previous posts in
   a lighter vein.

   Those who know me better would not find the need for me to explain this.
   But I have seen atleast one instance on the net that attacked me for 
   my seeming chauvinism, and takes this exchange in particular literally.
   Enough said.
   

4] Stay Cool.
