1] Indian women whether clad in sarees or mini-skirts are basically women,
   they have the same chromosomes, and the same hormones, as women of any
   other race. If you do the right things to them they become horny or
   not horny as the case may be depending on your skills and their 
   inclination. 


   If you are looking for specific positions and particular practices
   that are guaranteed to excite the indian female, may I suggest:

   a] Learn to wear a dhoti.
   b] Learn to smoke a beedi.
   c] Learn to wear "hawaii" sandals.
   d] Always cross your legs while you sit down.
   

   If you are looking for more manifest signs of estrus you may 
   want to look at some of the canine babes.

As far as Indian embassy business goes here is a small tale I have to tell.
It is about the Indian embassy at Washington D.C. I had lost my passport and
had applied for a new passport on January 12. The official form says that
Passports may take anywhere between 6-8 weeks to replace. Since I needed my
passport urgently, I called up the secretary at the Embassy Mrs. Seth. She
was initially indifferent, but I told her that I needed the duplicate urgently,
to get a driver's license. She asked me if I was willing to pay her 20$ and she
would send a telex message to India to verify the details of my passport quickly
I agreed and promised to send the money. My passport was issued on Jan 27, she
returned my call and asked me if I had sent the money. Since, like the other
skeptical people, I was thinking I would get my passport only in mid-April, I
had not sent the money. I promised her I would send it that morning and based
on that assurance she mailed me my passport. Talk about Trust! Of course I 
mailed the check and thanked my stars when my passport arrived the next day
by regd. mail.

Now as a side tale, I had also to replace my I-94. I mailed my application on
Jan 13 to the INS office at TX. I was informed three weeks later( after I recd
my Passport!) that it would take them 3 months to process my application. Having
resigned myself to the long wait, it was mid-April before I realized that I had
not recd anything. After numerous trips to the local International Students Off.
nothing turned up. I finally got my I-94 two weeks back.

So the motto of the tale is "DONT KNOCK SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS 
FASHIONABLE TO DO SO". I am sure I would have disappointed a lot of our fashionable
folk out there, but well, tough luck! :)

Hi Folks :


A freind of mine has fallen in to this classic trap,
a trap one dreads the most, of losing his job couple
of months before the final green card interview.

Labor certification process and filing for change of
status procedures are all done. 

His interview date is set at 1st September and he
lost his job in mid may.

Can he use the employment letter dated in mid may?

Do the immigration officer even ask for the employment letter?

If you have recently gone through this process please
e-mail to me.

If you have any other suggestions please fire away.

Thankyou very much.

	I didn't feel like turning in early last night, so I watched
a film called "Touch and Go" on channel 7. I was pleasantly surprised
to see the name Ajay Naidu on the list of the main cast, the others
being Michael Keaton, and another that I didn't particularly notice.
	Naidu looks about eleven-ish (movie made in 1986), and plays
the son of a Hispanic woman; Keaton is a professional NHL player who
falls in love with the kid's mum. About average as far as the plot
goes, but I thought Naidu did a marvellous job, and I couldn't suppress
a swell of patriotic pride. I wonder if Naidu has made any more films.
Has anyone heard about him?

Apart from its literal meaning the word " Sowbhagyvati" also implies
that a woman can have a baby which also necessitates that her

 Hello Ed Crick,

  I have something to say. People do laugh at others. But, if you are an
 American (at least your name sounds so), then you have definitely been
 kicked out by your fellow people. I am sure that your behavior and level of
 intelligence has made your fellow country men absolutely ashamed, and, have
 thus taken the aforesaid decision. Now we know why you are suffering from a
 crisis of identity. For an American, this is really painful, I know :-).

  If you are n Indian, then you should not have been born. You are full of shit
  and will remain malodorous that way - throughout your life. 

  Suggestion: before you get kicked again, take your stupidity elsewhere.

  Sorry for being so blatantly straight forward. (No hard feelings !)

The Gundekota File-Entry#9: This is for Gulgulay
=================================================

Gulgulay is a unique name to me resembling rushing waters. The Gulgulay I
know is quite a fast rush himself. First he moved from Bombay to New
York. Then to New Jersey. From there to Chicago. Something happened
while he was in Chicago. He fell in love and got married. But alas,
the wife lives in New Jersey. So the rushing man who lives in Rolling
Meadows near Chicago is now moving to Brunswick. There has to be a big
rush there--of Indian folks.

The point is, Gulgulay is an onomotopic word. There are few Indian
names that resound with images: 

Narang: phone ring of the past
Sarang: door bells that you can actually see
Tinkoo: a rain drop down the throat of a cuckoo
Budang: a frog diving into the lake for cover
Payne: the sound of broken heart
Sasank: the sound of a ship-wreck
Pallav: pale look after love making
Swamy: a teen-ager praying for redemption with a saw
Mitali: the sound of growing tail after eating Thali in an Indian restaurant
Gopi: mom shouting at her kid after running out of diapers
Reddy: the cry of red-eyes
Sita: say yes to your heart when it pauses to ask: ``Can I rest now?''
Barua: a lonely bartender producing xylophone notes on empty glasses
Baru: when the front suspension of a Subaru breaks down on highway
Pankaj: the sound of cooking in International Pancakes 
Murthy: the voice of a midwestern cow on heat
Prem: a call in the wild where there in no love; the lions say:``Prey 'em''
Subrato: the noise of footsteps of the brat who eloped with Su
Bedobrato: burp after a sumptuous meal beforing retiring to bed 
Rakshak: a rack shaking during earth quake
Thapliyal: sound when the neighbor's bed falls through the ceiling 
Ratnam: the gnawing sound of a rat that emigrated illegally during Vietnam war
Ganguley: the whistles exchanged between gang members of opposite-sex

Good bye Gulguley and spread your onomotopia wherever you are.
