The foriegn interests (in quotes ofcourse) of the british were the main
source of cash and material that made british empire what it was.  economically
it made no sense to let go off  the colonies, when they had a lot of rebuilding to do. in their own wasted country.

These arguments do not work.  My guess is that they were slightly morally
pushed to end their imperialism.  simple reason.  They saw how much freedom
meant to themselves, the french and the polish.  A little extrapolation
and the same can be applied to the people of the colonies.

after all the british `were civilized enough !  ( I heard something
(actaully read) of this sort, during the festival of france in 1988?,
when someone (to please the french visiting us), said, how would the
indian history have been if the french had won the battle of ???, whereby India
would have been a french colony.  People were aghast at the idea of
choosing one colonist over the other, as if it was a nice thing.  But
anyway, the argument got around to what would the population of india
have been if the german nazis or the japanese were india's imperial oppressors?
cholera and tubercolosis outbreaks and the bengal famine would have been 
categorized as minor `events' [not even catastrophes!] )

It is most important to feel that whatever you are doing
is the right thing to do.  Feelings of guilt could be
harmful to the mind and consequently to the body.  So, do
whatever you want so long as you thing that you are doing
the right thing and you would feel that you are on top of

Interesting. With the virulence of the postings from the extremists it is
very difficult to believe any assertions to the contrary. I guess, a lot
of us (human beings) go through these all these narrow-minded modes of
operation. But, at the risk of engaging in this type of behaviour myself,
maybe *other* netters with non-Indian names should point out if they have
similar experiences without having been gratuitously obnoxious (in other

	12 Platforms in Mulund!! Sounds like Bombay in 2012! That chinese
joint inside IIT ( hardly a restaurant) always was a great place to go and consummate late-night discussions on sophomoric philosophy:-) Cannon has changed its management and the recipe now. Everything looked garish last year. And the plates also have gotten smaller. Incidentally, does anyone have good memories of Sardar outside Tardeo police station. That place 
was one swell of a joint to eat after a date followed by icecream at "Snowman's"
at Breach Candy. 

	Sujatha and Radhakrishna were only good in getting some cheap booze after all the other shops ( one ran by a Sardar in particular)  closed down.

	The warmest memories that of the Irani restaurants in and around Dhobi
Talao where one could sit and chat for a whole day. And the sandwitches were good too. Also good were the Udupui joints near Xaviers where the whole group of
us could just sit and chew fat:)

	Does anyone ever experienced the joy and happiness in sitting at the
Lounge looking at the sea and waiting for the check to arrive. You could sit
there for ever. All those places in and around colaba were divine. One just had to count all the money to make sure that one could go inside Khandahar:-)

	We were always in our element when we took those trips from Bandstand,
Bandra back to South Bombay, stopping at every intersection to taste the local
cuisine, especially Afghani food near Byculla. 

	After having tasted all the variety Bombay has to offer, I still think
the best of them all was the Xavier's canteen, the wonderful open cafeteria 
which was closed down in the beginning of this year. When I heard about it,
I felt really bad.

	Lastly, Mulund is getting horrible what with all those cheap bars
near Check naka where loud and uncouth women wait on you. I would rather 
stick to Lido Room or some place like that:)

Hi Network Gurus,

I have a problem in sending mail from Internet to an X.400 mail address.
The address I want to send the mail to is :
	SN=RANGA
	GI=SRIRANGA
	OR=SGCCPL
	ADMD=VSNB
	C=IN

The above address is in India.

The mail address I use for the above in Internet is :
	SN=RANGA\%GI=SRIRANGA\%OR=SGCCPL\%VSNB@mcimail.com

The person I want to contact told me that mcimail knows about his ADMD.
In fact, I have sent 1 mail to the same address before and I have received
2 mails from the person at that address. He only has X.400 mailing facility.

The problem is, when I now try to send a mail to the same address, I get
the delivery notice from POSTMASTER@mcimail.com that I am attaching at the
end of this post.

Can someone please tell me how I can send mail from Internet to an
X.400 address. Is mcimail the only route or are there other ways to
send this mail to them? [ I think VSNB ( this is VSNL, Bombay ) has connectivity
to ATT mail also. ]

Please e-mail your responses. If I get sufficient replies, I can summarize
them as a news item later.

Thanks in advance,

PS: I am posting this query in this group 'cause I think many of you could
have faced similar problems trying to send mails to India, besides, I could

  First of all, a note: the two main sects of Islam are Sunni and Shia
(also called "Shi'i", "Shi'ih", "Shiah", "Shi'ite", etc.).  The Baha'i
Faith is not a subdivision of Islam; it is an independent world
religion.  Please note also that Baha'is do not engage in religious
strife; `Abdu'l-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, said "if religion is to
be the source of strife, it were better if it did not exist".

  In terms of what you have said above, it certainly can appear to one
that mankind is incorrigably selfish, yet I would ask you to consider
what the motivations between the warring groups above are.  But who
are their leaders, and what are the real motives of these leaders in
perpetrating the strife?  I think you will find that in reality,
different people can live together perfectly well, but that most are
still vulnerable to the selfish private motives of a few.  The
elimination of prejudice and universal education would go a long way
to changing this vulnerability.

 Friends,

  I, being an ardent fan of Carnatic Music, especially of Carnatic Music stepped in and rendered in its traditional purity, have a proposal to make.  I propose that those of us who really appreciate this music, form a music aprreciation club over this network.  It is hard to arrive at a universal definition for what one considers `classical' so I can only speak for myself.  The only artists I listen to are the following people:

1. K.V. Narayanaswami
2. Madurai Mani Iyer
3. Ariakudi Ramanujam Iyengar
4. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer
5. D.K. Patammal and Jayaraman
6. Alathur Brothers
7. M.D. Ramanathan

  I don't think all our musical tastes have to be the same.  However, there should be a sort of common theme in all the music that we appreciate.  For example, I have not mentioned G.N.B or Musiri, etc.  However, one may include such artists in this category if they wish.

  The purpose of this club is primarily to exchange and copy tapes.  Many of us have tapes among us that others would benefit from as well as enjoy listening to. If we had such a club, the otherwise laborious task of collecting rare tapes etc would be facilitated.  In this short life, it is very unfortunate, if we don't fulfill the potential to listen to as much good music as possible, and take advantage of this excellent avenue of communication to further this goal.  This club will have no heirarchy(presi






dent, vp etc).  Everyone is an equal member.  Here's one way in which it could work(I am totally open to suggestions, etc).  
everyone who is interested in joining, may submit to me by e-mail some kind of interest form which would indicate the individual's type of musical inclination and would include specifics such as artists,etc.  I, in turn would compile a comprehensive list including all these forms and post it on to the network along with every individual's e-mail adress.  This list would be periodically updated if and whenever necessary by myself or anyone else willing to do that job.  If you have any questions or comments 






you could contact me personally by e-mail.
