Can anyone please tell me how long will it take to obtain EAD in the following locations.  My situation is I got a job offer and I don't have EAD with me right now.  The nearest INS office for me is Atlanta.  But they take 4-6 weeks to process EAD application.  I can't wait that long.  So I want to try in other nearest INS offices.

1. Arlington, VA
2. Baltimore, MD
3. Charleston, SC

	But Banglore DOES have IIS, I am sure that IIS has a lot to
contribute towards the reasons for the fame Banglore has been
receiving off-late. In any event Banglore is a town I'd really like to
see becoming the San Jose of India. The technological and actual

As far as I remember a certain community tried to officially change the
name of Bombay to mumbai and the matter was even discussed in the parliment.
But was overwhelmingly defeated. Thus the name Bombay still stands good.
And why not? Bombay is perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in India, and as
a matter or respect to all communities living there the name Bombay seems
appropriate.
As far as the issue of
Bombay or Mumbai is concerned, it is all a political "stunt".
Some of my friends responded quite harshly to my previous article. All
I will say is that let us act more matured and stop using "abusive" 
language on the net. The name for the city corporation is also"Bombay Municipal
Corporation" (B.M.C) Similarly a number of examples like B.E.S.T etc. can
be given. I would once again ask my friends to stop using abusive language
and continue a healthy discussion. As far as what I know, the name Mumbai,
comes from the goddess Mumadevi (pardon the spelling) whose temple
is situated somewhere in the heart of bombay. However to preserve the diverse
nature of the Bombay "janta" and to respect their sentiments, the name should
be Bombay.

In conclusion, I totally back Ajit in his comments about sci and alt.cul.bombay
We do not need a new newsgroup.
P.S: I remember seeing a sign at the GateWay of India saying "Welcome To Mumbai"     Probably the act of one of our mayors/C.M's. Peace. Manish.

Reply-To: mistryg@zinger.sps.mot.com

There is many misconceptions about religion. Religion is not about who is God?
what is God? where is God? how is God? what God did or will do? etc.
 The underlining purpose of all religions is the salvation of the soul within
our body. The benefit of religions is for our own soul. Thus we should have
respect for our soul. Our soul is housed in our body and mind, hence, we should
have respect for them too. The concepts of good & evil, and right & wrong, do
not have any religion boundaries. Ask anyone of another faith about them and
you will realize that their understanding of right & wrong, and good & evil is
very much like yours.
 We should use these concepts to guide us in all our actions; speaking, hearing,
seeing, touching, eating, drinking, smelling, doing, etc. We should ask ourselves
"What harm will I do to my soul, my body, and my mind due to what I am about
to do?"
 The task I am describing here is not an easy one and we will be buried in it. We
are not going to have time for others. We will have to let our family members worry
about their salvation, our friends will have to worry about their salvation, and all
the others will have to take care of their own. The best we can do is explain to
others this concept and let them take it from there.
 
 The ideas expressed here are my own and not of my company.

   Actually Pakistan should do this out of her own good senses. Torching
   six hapless Hindu women and stoning Hindu children (under the age of 6)
   by Islamic fundamentalists, is a kind of brutality that only cowards are
   able carry out with extreme professionalism. These people cannot fight an 
   organized battle. 

   In the wake of Pakistan getting labeled by the U.S as a terrorist nation,
   I believe that Pakistan is trying her best to cover things up that she has
   always messed up with.

   Everybody knows that Pakistan is the root cause of trouble in Kashmir and
   hence in the subcontinent.

ren't we discussing the Bengali culture?  Why change the topic by jumping on
some other culture, maybe we can discuss that later.  By the way, Gorky is not
all in all of Russian literature.  Please don't forget Leo Tolstoy, Gogol,
Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekov, Sholokov, Nicholai Ostrovsky, Mykovsky, Chengis
Aitmatov, etc. etc.  Besides, the injustice shown to Sakharov and Solzhenetsin
is not a part of an act of people, but of the then oppressive regimes.  This
kind brutal oppression or a tendency to undermine literary works of a particularwriter(s) is not all that uncommon in both Bengals.  For example, Tagore's songs
were banned on then East Pakistan Radio or elasewhere.  Some of the Nazrul's
songs are broadcasted from Akashbani Calcutta as Atul Prosad's song or just
as Modern Bengali lyrics.  There are so much complaints from Dhaka's Bengali pundits.  Daod Haider was kicked out of Bangladesh for his works.  Dr. Ahmed Sharifis labeled as infidal by the fundamentalists in Bangladesh and a death sentence
is declared against him by the same fundamentalists, which put his life in
jeopardy, just for his progressive ideas and view.  Aren't we also narrow
