Sometime ago, someone had published a name of a company with an 800 number
that took orders for flower deliveries in India. I remember using them once.
I wish to use them again, but I seem to have lost the name and number for this
company. The name starts with an S. If anyone has the information, I would
appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.

I disagree. I liked the novel. We should remember that what we consider
rather ordinary & commonplave, others may find the same very strange, interesting 
and fascinating. A different emphasis is, therefore, to be expected. 

Personally, I felt that the movie was a little too long, and rather slow at
times. It could have been cut down by about 20-30 minutes. But thats just MHO.

He started the novel as "Karrupu; Sivappu; Veluppu"[or is it the other way
around?] in Kumudam. I think in the second or third chapter he identified a
character of a particular caste with prostitution. There was a massive
protest for this and even therewere some news about life threatening
messages.  Then he changed the title of the story and continued writing.

If I knew the birth sign, then I won't be needing all these info...also
credit history would help decide faster. 

By the way, India Abroad still has the matrimonial column and there
are a lot of Gujarati's looking for Gujarati girls to marry, also
Agarwals, Iyengars, Patels and some caucasian brahmins. South Indians
are a separate caste though, so unlike others they don't make claims
of fairness. In all fairness, all Indians to me look alike and believe
me they are neither white nor black.

A promising business idea:  1-900-dat-indn to set up dates on phone
between people of Indian origin (including Indians without accent). I
have a whole bunch of kinky ideas about how far this phone line could
be used to meet outrageously sex hungry Indian guys and gals in your
area. I need an investor/partner. Please call 412-856-6495 to discuss.
Also, I have a gizmo for dating/one-night-stand with people of Indian
origin. I call it the "Karma Datemaker." It works like this...first we
need to know the region within India...then the virginity...then visa
status...blah blah. Why not call me and find out more?

		^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Jay_bhai ( or is it Jaykumar bhai ? ;-)), I don't know about you, but back home
(India), "gujju" jokes were pretty popular. At least in Bombay, they were
considered good "entrees" at college and university cafetarias ( or 
canteens as they are called ) ;-)

all these gujju jokes and the ones about 
"fus nu jeans ne smes nu t-sert ne roos nu soos" were the "in" thing ! ;-)
( F U's brand jeans, Smash brand T shirts and Roos brand Shoes )
and the ever_green "su che saaru che, danda lai ne maaru che"  were popular !

Although, some of the jokes degenerated to downright crudity, they were 
said and taken ,most of the time, in jest. One could get even by cracking
surd, sindhi, "madrasi" etc jokes !


I guess most community groups (based on relegion, language or whatever) who
have some identifiable trait become good material for whetting the 
humor_at_somebodys_expense craving of most people.

So, I think any heart_burn would be rather a waste of peace of mind.

HALA means poison as well as sura (wine). The poem is not about the
love of wine. It is allegorical, and HALA or SURA mostly stands for
"jeevan-amrit" (love of life). Dr. Bachhan in his autobiography
categorically states that he never even drank wine (except for couple
of glasses). And while I am on this, I would strongly recommend the
three volumes of Dr. Bachhan's autobiography ("Kya Bhoolon kya yaad
karoon", "nirr ka nirman phir se", "basere se door") to anyone even
remotely interested in reading autobiographies in Hindi. The last
volume "basere se door" covers Bachhan's stay at Cambridge while doing
a Ph.D. on W. B. Yeats. That may be an additional incentive to read
that volume if you enjoy reading about Yeats.

Interesting to see the trend of thought of the policymakers. What
I want to see now is the reaction of the industrialists to this kind 
of attitude, which of course, is only right.  Another thing : if 
freedom of trade changes the economy, will many of the Indians who
plan to stay here in the US really go back ?  India cannot reach the
level of US or Germany overnight, of course.  But the standard of
living of the middle class is sure to zoom up within the next 10 
years. 

It is indeed shameful that India has not made use of it's location
( "...on the busiest trade lanes..." ) to prosper and has constantly
busied itself with other worthless activities such as involvement in
the non-aligned movement, which no one listened to, anyway.  The price
that we pay is that India is, by and large, ignored by the global
economic community.

My habit of putting off doing my taxes till the last minute does not
seem to have worked well this time, thanks to two questions about the
India-US tax treaty. I have not been able to get hold of IRS Publication
901 (Tax Treaties) which might have helped me out. I would appreciate 
receiving information from knowledgeable netters on the following 
questions:

i) Does the Treaty benefit (exempt from, or reduce tax for) Indian 
   students on a F-1 visa? I have been on a student visa for the past 
   4.5 years. I have always used Form 1040NR.

ii) If the answer to (i) is yes, do I have to fill out Form 8233
    to claim the exemption?

Any information would be much appreciated. If some one has a copy
of Provision D, Article 21 of the India-US Tax treaty (the portion that
deals with potential tax benefits for students), would appreciate
hearing from them too.

Please respond by e-mail.

Thanks in advance,

 I very much appreciate the presence of factual information that
Bharathi Jagadeash has presented on A.I. one of the very few who
has done research rather than ignorant flaming (appreciation to the
few others for factually based stuff too).

 I keep getting images of these misinformed flamers seething in anger
about an organization that it is obvious they have had little contact
with and little information about  based on the information offered 
in the complaints. 

 I also wonder if any of the flamers have actually ever helped anyone
who was in the kind of need that people AI takes on are in and
seen the complexities of the situation and the persiverence needed
to do the work.

 It takes very little effort to sit back and just throw flames. 
Knowledge and compassionate action  are a bit more precious and
worthwhile and (unfortunatly) rare .

She has clarified her stand on that issue. She said that she meant marriage
shouldn't be the only means to have sex. She said that she believed that
one needn't marry to have sex. So you don't have to marry just for satisfying
your sexual urges.

I am not the only person who misunderstood her poorly worded message. However,
I am sorry that I misunderstood her statement, and I am sending this

Which planet are you on? Mars? When did ever Sri Lankans wake up?

Didn't you hear about the buddhist monks opposing to everything Sri Lankan government

It is *very* hard work (if not impossible) to drum this into their heads that
