    There has been several articles on the above topic recently. Let me put in
my 2 cents worth: I feel that tipping and bribes are one and the same thing. If
one needs something done, one bribes; if one needs good service, one tips.
However the difference is that one pays the bribe before the job and one tips
after the service (the server is not sure if the bribe will be offered after
the service is performed).

    Comments anyone?

To Doki :
	I do not approve of all that you have posted on the net, (before you
retort, I know you do not give a damn for my approval or disapproval ) but
I thought this joke was particularly funny. 

To prospective flamers :

Well before people begin to flame me for acknowledging Doki's sense of 
humour, please note that I referred to the contents of his posting as a joke, 
and jokes are not necessarily true.  Well let me just put it this way, I do 
not like being flamed on the net.  Hell! that sounded like an order, sorry
again, it was not intended to be that way. Again people if my pleas have
fallen upon deaf ears I request you to read the original posting again,
there is a joke in it, i think there is a joke in it somewhere, WAS THERE
A JOKE IN IT???? God! now I am becoming paranoid.


To Allah :

Praise be to you O Holy one, I pray to thee that I be protected from the
wrath of 'the prospective flamers', Lord I speak the truth, when I first
read Doki's posting I saw a joke in it somewhere, now I am not sure. 

Allah speaketh :

Fear not my child!, the reason for your confusion is feminism.

Truly Allah, thou art the greatest.  Thou hast solved all my problems, I see

Hi,

	I have been reading all the replies you gave to Selva. You mostly
did personal attacks and ignored all his historical proofs. You talked more about
ramayana and missed the central point he was trying to make.. You keep asking for
evidence when he gives millions already and ignore all those and go in atangent. 

I did not see any racial prejudice at all in Selvas posts. (In fact i am a south Indian
brahmin in case you think i side with him because of my background or relegion or
race or what ever) on the contrary you try to show him as one. Get a life!

A better solution?  First convert your religion to X (X != Hinduism).
Then reconvert back to Hinduism. You are asked to specify your caste
during the process of "reconversion".  All legal folks.  No money need

I know this is not personals, but I was just looking for an Indian Girl who

however.  I've been in the States for over 11 years.  I'm 6'3", medium built,

What else would you like to know?  I only want to talk to some girl out there

First of all I think physical attributes have a lot to do with choosing
a mate. What if you wound up with someone like Roseanne? (or Tom Arnold..

Clean Sweep :
A stone's throw from the stately Raj Bhavan are some of the worst
slums of Madras, housing 7000  families. These residents were one 
day stunned to see a group of  well dressed men descend upon them 
armed with brooms. "At first they  sniggered. Then one by one the
ladies  came  forward, grabbed  the  brooms and  themselves began 
sweeping.", says M.B.Nirmal  chairman and founder of Exnora Intl. 

One of the   main  objectives  Exnora, formed  in 1989, is  civic
cleanliness. Says Nirmal, "We feel that the residents should feel 
responsible for their streets and not rely on corporation".Exnora
has so  far  covered 450  locations  and  over 34 slums in Madras. 
Nirmal who is the chief manager in charge  of marketing at IOB on 
a transfer.  As he goes, he leaves a whiff of cleanliness.

Hi netters, I am graduating in Dec. and the lease for my apartment
runs till Aug. 93. The apartment is a nice new two bed room with 
independent kitchen, batroom and hall. It is furnished with
Microwave, Ref., Oven, Gas, Dining table, chairs, two easy lounge
chairs etc. and is also completely carpeted with heat and other
standard options.
My room mate Krishnan Ramaswamy is doing his masters in Pharmacy and
will be around for a couple of years as he plans on doing his Phd.
He would like a vegetarian, non-smoker preferably Indian as a 
roommate. He has his own 20" TV, stereo, cooking vessels etc.
He is a nice guy and would make an excellent roomate. Anyone 
coming to Purdue for the Spring semester who is interested please
call me up anytime at 317-743-6233, if I am not a home leave a 
message and I will get back to you.
You can also contact me by e-mail and I can arrange a visit so you
can come by and look up the place.

Thanks,
