khusbu ? oh no. you will get the wrath of Srila Sri Dr. K. Srinivasan, an
ardent devotee of khushboo (alias KhushbagaambaaL :-)) [Hi KS. Just
kidding]  ( for the uninformed, khushboo (meaning fragrance. Thanks KS) is
her name  before she became sri sri her holiness (for sure no pun is
intended or  implied, believe me) khushbagaambaaL ;-) (SSHHK, to make it
more  understandable and to waste bandwidth :-)) . before getting his
wrath,  change ur spelling to khushboo ( alias khushbagaambaaL ;-)].

the occasion happening in the "semis"sphere :-). how about giving a live
commentary on the proceedings ? it would be wonderful.

can you send me a portrait ? [idea: try taking the photo from voyEger-1
or pioneer-1, u might get it upside down, but who cares ? :-) atleast u
can get the photo in a size which can be framed :-) ] of SSHHK.

I tried in vain. I just could not concentrate. my mind is so small :-) that
SSHHK does not fit into it (not even her face :-)). may be yr mind is
sooooooooooo biggggggg or r u focussing thro' a concave glass ! :-) what
should i do to fit her into my mind ? anyway thanks for manthra :-)
[thanks to SS Dr. KS, I am now planning to focus my concentration onto a
flower [because of FRAGRANCE :-)] instead of SSHHK when meditating)
