	1) Which brand to buy ?
	2) How much does it cost (approx.) ?
	3) What special features that I may get or should look for ?
	4) What features that I may have to sacrifice to get more
		than one system..

I don't know when the Indian President was born but I think Clinton was born
 on May 19 and not August 19.

	ANTARNAAD (Inner Voice) is Shyam Benegal's new, artistic, offbeat 
	movie about change in one's family life. 
	It portrays a story of awakening of "Samskars" in life! 
	It depicts development of humanity when one hears the "Inner Voice"! 
		
	It is also highly recommended for the Indian parents who have 
	children in elementary school(gr 3 and up), junior h.s. or high 
	school.  This film will definitely leave positive message and 
	imprints on the youth.

hmmmm.......

Agreed that the present problems makes one wonder whether India
is fit to be a single country. But Indian Govt. should plan properly
how to resolve the problem without violence. Indian Govt. should
give equal rights to everyone. This will definitely bring unity.
But will the Indian politicians do that ? Its hard because they
are more concerned about their next election rather than India.
If India breaks, it will break into 23 countries which is unacceptable.
I appreciate your response.

Cheers,

V R Kumar

	Look, you can't use an argument one way, then simply wave your hands
and dismiss it from being used the other way.  I know Clinton did this a lot
during the campaign, but let's stay realistic.

	"To govern", yes.  But not "a mandate" to perform any specific program. 
"Change" isn't specific.
	In other words, he can't claim to have a mandate to raise taxes.

You forgot to mention about another big town in M.P.

it used to be Jabalipuram ( being birthplace of Jabali rishi)
during II world war british made a central jail in Jabalipuram and renamed
the city from Jabalipuram to Jabbalpore which is now known as Jabalpur.

If you know about Pindari thugs, you might be aware of a name Col. William
sliman. He started a movement against Pindari thugs which used to be 
another name of death. After nearly 2 or 3 years of hunting and coordinated
support from Indian-British police nearly all the Pindaris were killed.
I am joining this true story with another very small towm (20 KM north west
from Jabalpur) Slimanabad which is named after Col. William Sliman. It's 
very strange but true.....

Another symptomatic expression of your perverted upbringing. It seems your
habit of performing your disgusting homosexual acts in the "doggie style" and
your graphic descriptions of bestiality with members of the canine species have
gotten to a point where you seem to be imagining yourself having been 
reincarnated as a dog. 

Although, the fault scarcely lies in your stars but rather in your genes as 
it seems likely that certain female members of your family took the expression
"a dog is a woman's best friend" quite literally. You unfortunately were left
holding the torch and being the standard bearer for an inferior generation.
And judging by what you have demonstrated on the net so far,
it seems that you remain a cowardly but insolent and disobedient mongrel. When
you become remotely humanoid, we might initiate some kind of dog-training for 
you. Until then, it seems a waste of my time prolonging this discussion any
further.   


As for people who were temerarious enough to correspond with you and suggest
a nexus between me and some other netter, I can only pity their ignorance and
their lack of self esteem to say so publicly. But then again, they can't be
much of a human being either, if they chose to correspond privately with 
malodourous, necrophobic and putrid scum like you.
