regression is dangerous.  But then again, thinking oneself to be
a hindu, muslim or other  is in no way a regressive act.  The jesuit
attitude of converting another person to your faith (or erasing the
effect of anotherfaith as we see in india NOW)) is lethal to mankind.
Maybe lethal is inappropriate -- poisons everyone's mind; might be better.

religous attitudes of the people in general
cannot be a braking factor.  Its zeal and fanaticism
which slowly degenerate into intellectual blindness.  Its this
final stage that causes deterioration of human life in society.`
Broad outlook and open mind -- these are the first casualties
of zeal and fanaticism.  One can be highly religious
and still be open minded -- but one must be educated
or worldly-wise enough to be so even-handed.

Sometime back I had read (probably in TIME) that black counselors in
predominantly black high schools would steer graduating students to
apply to non-science programs in college. Some kind of inferiority
complex was at play here.

In my own home, whenever the topic of starting a business came up,
I would hear the comment that bengalis are no good at business, so
it is better to forget about it.

Most businesses in India feel better importing a technology from
abroad than develop it themselves. Even consumers have more faith
in phoren stuff.

Maybe an exposure to vedic mathematics can instill some pride, some
self-confidence among the students. It is absurd to tell kids that
vedic mathematics is "better" than modern mathematics, because the
former is a fossil that stopped growing long ago. However, knowing
that at one time, our forefathers were relatively very good (in their
time) in mathematics may inspire kids to believe that they too can be
good in (modern) mathematics and other sciences.

Dont all projects go over budget/fall behind schedule/fail to meet the

So what ???? I dont see anyone picking on Microsoft, Intel, IBM, for that

offering them a better oppourtunity than the Rs 3000.00 a month job
in India.

I fully agree on that one.... but lets also not forget he sold his idea
a whole lot better (to the Indian govt.) than most others could have. I dont 
think that he is a saint ... or a saviour ... but I also think he did
a fairly decent job ... I think the problem was with the government at that
time (Rajiv and company) which thought it was invincible and was a brash
and arrogant body. They over promised on everything .... and delivered very
little.

A few days ago, I read some posts about Prof. Sanyal's visit
to San Francisco. I remember reading about a film on IIT KGP
that was screened during the occasion. Has anybody seen it ?

/	hmmm.....now I'm confused - some of you say Indian babes are horny - then 
/	again only for indians - then again only for non-indians - and then again 
/	with horns on their heads :-)

/	can some one please summarise for me - are Indian Babes horny or not? I know 
/	Indian guys are (no offense meant) - also, do you indian guys consider 
/	American babes to be horny? That will give a basis for comparison ... 

/	I havent seen very many indians dating americans - why is that?

/	take care

/	(no flames please)(I'm just a curious dude).

	Curious!!!!!!! my foot.
C'mon guys/gals, many of us like a good argument (provided it is constructive). Jon Jochem a.k.a ??? ...... is far from the pursuit of knowledge and exchange of perceptions. He's just having his perverted fun at our expenses.

A Gujju died.




So, God asked to the Gujju soul :

Where would like to rest?

In hell or heaven.























The Gujju replied : " Where ever I get profit of 2  paisa."
