Okay, you will get Telugu patalu from me, until ....(fill your favorite
expletive or bootu).

To set up the song: It is in the movie `Missamma.' Two famous
actors--NTR and Savitri enacted the song. I know Late Ghantasala
Venkateswara Rao dubbed for the male (anti) hero. Dunno the rest. As
for the song...you figure or look for the clue after my sign off.

A couple of minor corrections.

RAW is the acronym for the Research and Analysis Wing and by the very
nature of it's operations it reports to the Ministry of External
Affairs.

RAW is India's external espionage and counter intelligence agency and it
does not operate domestically. At least, it shouldn't to the best of my
knowledge. It specialises in foreign operations much like the CIA, 
Mossad, MI-6.

The agency which has overall responsibility for keeping track of
seperatist organisations is the Central Burea of Investiagtion (CBI).

    The international students at PennState will be holding a protest against
the university's health insurance policy. The protest is dated August 17th,
Monday, in front of the HUB(hertzel Union Building) and the Old Main.
    PennState requires all international students came after fall,1990 to
buy insurance for themself and their dependents. The insurance should be the
MEGA plan provided by this school or other insurance that meet the waiver
standards. The waiver standards were set very strict so that international
students have no choice but to buy MEGA because any insurance that meet all
the waiver standards will be much more expensive than MEGA. The MEGA cost
about $500 a year for the student but $1778 for the student spouse and $800
for a child. If the  international student has assistantship, the school pays
%80 of the insurance for the student, but not for spouses and children.
MEGA doesn't provide good coverage for illnesses though it's so expensive.
    American students are not required to buy insurance for their dependents,
but they can choose to buy MEGA for their dependents if they want. So when
their wifes are going to have a baby. they may spend a few hundred dollars
to buy MEGA for their wifes for only one semester, and enjoy the maternity
coverage. The cost, certainly, will be imposed on international students who
are forced to buy MEGA even there's a lot of unwanted coverages like the
maternity coverages for their husbands and children!

 Delhi is definitely a cleaner, wealthier (more after Asiad) city. Things go
 quite smoothly except the law-and-order system - most notoriously eve-teasing.
 (I have lived in Bombay, off and on, but felt that Bombay was more of a
 cosmopolitan type, westernized, and fast moving. You could walk on the wild
 side more freely. The Copper Chimney food joint is very good. HAL Hyderabad
 Personnel Officer have kindly `overlooked' the bills I claimed. BTW, I never
 used to claim anything below Rs.700-800/- for Copper Chimney Bills and used
 to stay in the HAL guest House at Worli - drink and dine - o' summer wine :-)
 All this in 1984-'85.)

 Anyway, Calcutta DOES NOT come in comparison with Delhi/ Bombay. It is a City
 of Shit and everyday is going down due to increasing infestations of the 
 cockroaches and CPI(M) - both exhibit similar characteristics. Thus, Ruchir's
 `love' (luv) for Cal. is quite a surprise, because, being a Bengali I have no
 respect for Bengalis - who as Ruchir claims live in glorious ivory towers - and
 read `intellectual' novels. Perhaps, since I am out of the shit for about 11 
 years, I have shred my `pseudo-intellectual' scales ?????

Subject: NEWS(old):(Humor)British firm offer to DoT
Date: 15 Aug 92 00:36:08 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.



       	   BRITISH FIRM OFFERS 4 LAKH LINES TO DOT AS GRANT
	   ================================================

Times of India, Business Times (section),Aug,7,1992
 By Rajesh Kalra
The Times of India News Service
NEW DELHI, Aug 6:

	Carrots have started flying thick and fast at Sanchar Bhavan, head 
quarters of the deparment of telecommunications (DoT), as competition hots up
among the bidders for India's most coveted telecommunications project, for 
supply of large telephone exchanges.

	GPT of Britain, which had bid along with eight other multinationals 
when the bid for supply of 2 lakh lines of large exchange equipment was opened 
on March 16, has reportedly offered to supply 4 lakh as a grant to the DoT. 
This follows the company's failure to get the nod from the department in spite
of it having quoted the lowest figure of Rs 5,384 per line.

	Its expectations of getting a major chunk of the two lakh lines order 
went up in smoke sometime ago when the DoT went a step better and made counter
offers to three of the bidders -- Siemens, Ericssons and Fujitsu -- that they
could supply a total of 3 lakh lines, but at Rs 5,034 per line, i.e. Rs 350
less than GPT's offer. To GPT's misfortune, all three accepted the offer and 
now, subject to validation, will be supplying 1.1 lakh, 1 lakh and 90,000 lines
respectively.

	However, this offer, apparently, is not the end of this. Highly placed
sources in the DoT say that once this information spreads to other bidder, they
expect them too to "fall in line" and this includes those who have accepted 
the DoT's counter offer.

	Now, the DoT wil have to wait and see when the others "fall in line".
But GPT's move proves at least one thing -- the MNCs will do anything to gain
a foothold in the Indian telecom arena. 

	And why should'nt they? All the MNCs are looking at this as an entry
strategy and not immediately as a business proposition, which is expected to 
follow later. India has one of the most ambitious telecom expansion plans
among the developing countries. From around 5.5 million lines at the moment,
the plans is to have a four-fold increase to 20 million by the turn of the 
century. Naturally, all are eyeing the tremendous potential offered by this 
market, so what if some sacrifice has to be made initially.

	It has been apparent ever since the government gave indications that it
will invite foreign technologies for expansion of the telephone network. The 
government wanted favourable financial offers but none did so initially. After
sometime, however, one MNC offered soft loans and to beat that, another came 
forward to say that to help the foreign exchanged-starved government, it will 
supply equipment on rupee payment.

	At that time, people in the telecom circles used to joke that if the 
government waits for some more time, it may even get equipment free! Today,
it's the department of telecommunications which might be laughing all the way
to bank.

You may take time to answer some serious questions that D.S. Rao garu
has posed.  As for tirupathi and tirumala, `historically' it belonged
to an area that changed hands (among various kingdoms) (as frequently
as a syringe among drug addicts( Hope you see the upama alankaram).

If my recollection is good, vijayanagaram ruled over the area that
contains tirupathi.  And most of the time, pallavas ruled over the
area, and pallavas known to be rulers of both AP and TN (historically).

So your `new' diversion does not succeed.
