So, I presume that the Ms. Daddy's girl is so incredibly and
maddeningly naive that she can't figure out a jerk from a prince
charming in two years--(TWO WHOLE YEARS), for crying out loud! What
the hell were they "interacting" about for all those two years--just
checking each other's complexion, and the latest movies?

It is difficult to expect sympathy from the world at large because Ms.
Daddy's girl is stupid enough to not to be bothered to understand the
person she has been going out with for two years [especially given
your own prounouncement that "we Indian women expect lot more from a
relationship than these american women."]

Freedom increases one's responsibilities. In an AM situation, if your
conjugal life takes a dive, you have the parents and the society to
blame. In a non-arranged cohabitative situation, you are expected to
have the gumption to stand on your own and differentiate jerks from
non-jerks in a reasonable amount of time.

Man, you are totally clueless.
This is biggest joke I have heard.

For your information:
The July 1983 riots were sparked off when 13 members of the Special Task
Force were blown by an LTTE landmine in Jaffna.

I'm not referring to Munshi's novels here, but to his book on Somnath,
where he quotes contemporary Indian sources about the Ghaznavide invasion.
Secondly, while Munshi was no great historian himself, he commissioned
Majumdar's History of India, and very often uses info. from there.

Hi,
I am looking for a room-mate in the San Francisco Bay area.

I have a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment in Olive West Apts in
Sunnyvale. The complex is close to 85 (and hence to 237, 101 and 280), Central
and El Camino (Bernardo is the cross-street). The complex is very nice, with
excellant amenities and the rent is $925 p.m. ($462.50 per person).
We do not have to sign a lease, we are on a monthly arrangement. My current
room-mate plans to move out by mid-April. 

I prefer to stay where I am, however I may be persuaded to move to a new place.
I work in Amdahl corporation. My phone number is 415-965-7224(H) and
408-746-8471(W). My email address is bgo00@ruts.ccc.amdahl.com. Please contact
me if you are interested or if you know someone who may be.

I bet you read that in the LTTE newsletters. Well, I happened to be in
Colombo at that time, just visiting. I also knew people from a local
Tamil daily at that time (whose building was burnt down by the
Sinhalese!). Who is clueless now??

I should also add that there are 3 families of SL Tamils who recently 
came here. They told me the biggest problems are the 'LTTE boys'. They
critized the SL army and IPKF as well. What have these SL terrorists
on the net have to say about this? Also, I am getting emails from
these people trying to find out where I am from. I don't think that
matters. The fact is India made mistakes, but the Tigers are absolute
TERRORIST killing ruthlessly even their own people. 

I will not be replying to any more of these via email or postings to
this newsgroup. How about a new newsgroup? misc.terrorist.LTTE :-)

Are there any latest good tamil movies ??

Regarding the movie "Thalapathy", its a good one, but nothing new.
Karnan(Shivaji Ganesan,Savithri) + Nayagan (Kamal, Saranya) = Thalapathy.

Those who have watched karnan and nayagan several times will realize that
most of the dialogues in Thalapathy have been copied from these two movies.
The story is also copied from Karnan. In Thalapathy, Rajini does the role of
what Shivaji did in karnan, Mamootti does the role of what Asokan did in Karnan
and what Kamal did in Nayakan, Sri Vidya does the role of Kundhi Devi. Geetha
does the role of what savithiri did in Karnan.

Of the recent releases, Chinna Gounder (Vijayakanth) is a good number with
a some what new story. Vijayakanth appears in a differnt role.

Are there any other good movies ???

Cheers,

Ramkumar

  This can't be true. Until Oct. 1991 the total number of U.S. immigrant
  visas alloted to India was 20,000 per year. Begining Oct. 1991 this limit
  has been raised to 25,000 per year. So there can't be 30,000 people only
  from the Bombay airport emigrating to USA. If you are saying 30,000 is
  the number of people emigrating to anywhere in the world from Bombay
  Airport then it is a different matter.

To me, as an European I may sooner get attracted to an Indian or coloured
girl than to a `white' girl, just because the former is more seldom, but
if you come to know somebody better, the colour of skin is really
insignificant. Even want to put to the question how significant a 
diffirent culturural background is --it may pose some problems in 
communicating, but it is how the individual is, that makes me like
some one or not. I've contact with several Indian girls as pen-pal, and
they differ as much from each other as they differ from Dutch girls, and
I really cannot generalize.
>Should a difference in race or culture preclude me from trying to find
>an Asian (including Indian) girl I may want.
No, but I think it is better to know your motives and answer the question
why you may want an Asian woman,  and thus may exclude all others
beforehand. Over here we sometimes have adds in Newspapers offering
Polish or Asian brides, and I once saw, a documentary about such a
marriage, in which the Dutch guy liked his Polish bride better than
Dutch girls, because she wasn't that much emancipated. I guess the
same motivations may be in the mind of some western guys seeking
Asian women.
