	My dear guru jee.......while I have unfortunately not been here to follow
	and enjoy what has obviously been one hell of a (or should it be one
	`heaven' of a) discussionbut with the utmost respect and revernece to
	the discussants here is my dhaii anna's bit.

	In the good old land of the five rivers we have an ancient folk
	saying that goes like this:

		"jiss pinDD jaaNa naeen uss da rasta kiyooN poocheeaye"

	a rough translation would imply:

		"why ask the directions of a village where we are
		 not headed"

	My take on paradise, heaven, jannat, blissful marriage and academic
	excellence has always been based on this wisdom.  

	"Why ask Why?", I ask.

	With no discourtesy to you obviously pious [;-)] mentors on mine,
	any debate on what might or might not happen in paradise is not
	just academic, its wishful..........

	An alternative view may be that of Faiz or Sahir:

		saaza, jaaza saab yahiN pay ho gee
		yahiN pay roz-e-hisaab ho ga

	I do not know about you good folks, but for me the choie has 
	always been clear..........just as I never even thought of 
	studying computer engineering, or wondered what it is all about and 
	what might happen if I did study it......so too is the case with
	paradise.........Knowing that I wasn't destined as a future resident
	of # 420 Paradise Drive, Heavenly Hills, I have resisted the temptation
	of wondering what it might or might not be like........now as for hell,
	.......that I can tell you all about.........in fact, I came to M.I.T.
	---this hell on earth--- to get a taste of what things might be like up
	there.......or is it "down there" for hell.......I have recently applied
	for a window seat in Hell #5, which is where both Adam Smith and 
	Karl Marx are already assigned........

		khoob guzray gi jo mill baithaiN gay deewanay dou 
							(in this case, "teen")

	So dear friends, when those in heaven contemplate and discuss the
	intricities of either "group sex" or of "homosexuality" under that
	pomegranade tree, by the rivers of milk and honey, with "hoors"
	flutering around you........rest assured this sinful source would
	be watching from his window seat in hell, maybe with a smile (or would
	it be a smirk) on his face..........

	.....wouldn't it be odd if good folks like you would be rewarded 
	by the very thing in heaven for which other souls would be condemned
	to burn in hell????????
			
	.........I digress........I pause........hey, why is it getting
	so hot...........and who is that red fellow with a tail hovering
	around my screen..........
