I am mightily puzzled about this Sholay business. Even though I have seen
Sholay 4-5 times, I have not noticed any reference to America at all, leave
alone the American West. And, for your information, Sholay scarcely bears
any resemblance to the American West. It is based on real-life dacoits who
used to and still do, terrorize regions of Central India. No natives are 
killed or educated, or starved by hunting down buffaloes. Nope, it is the
simple good.vs.evil story with lotsa guns thrown in. So any basis for comparison
with the American West can exist only in your imagination. Maybe you have been
working too hard at India bashing :) and I suggest you take a well deserved
break :).

Ah, but it's not beyond dispute! If your idea of American beer is
such watery beer wannabes as the big three or four American brands,
then it's easy to see why you'd think Canadian beers would be 
better.  But, if you want *real* beer, you have to come here, to
Seattle, to get it.

The only decent beer to be had is that which comes out of 
"microbreweries".

Ah, "mainstream".  Well, I guess it's all a matter of
tastes, but I find the "mainstream" Canadian beers to be
just as offensive as the stuff we produce en masse.

As to customer preferences? I daresay the average American
beerdrinker is less concerned with the taste than what the 
effect of drinking lots of it is! :)

As to its being an arcane science? Ya sure, ya betcha!

	HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT COMPANIES IN INDIA

(This is in response to the person who asked about info about major
constuction companies in India. However, this information may be useful for
people in most areas who are looking for jobs in "mainstream" industry
as opposed to software and related areas.)

  There are many places where one can find information about jobs and
companies in India. To begin with, places you should NOT waste your
time with are Indian embassies and consulates. They may sometimes have
some age-old circulars about some obscure government positions which they
keep displaying long after the deadline. Some consulates (like San Francisco)
do have a small library with some handbooks which may be useful if you
can go there and look it up yourself. Don't expect any result by writing or
phoning.
  Does your university have a business school? Ask the librarian there.
Some of the bigger b-school libraries will have a directory like Kothari's
directory which gives addresses and brief particulars of all companies
which are quoted on the stock exchanges (which covers virtually all companies
of any size, though there are some exceptions like the Godrej group). BTW
this directory can also be ordered from the publishers in Madras; I asked
for a quote and they said $200 for air mail, which I think is far too
much.
  Some B-school libraries (like Harvard) have the Bombay Stock Exchange
Directory which is in about 20 volumes. This gives details of financial
performance, addresses of various offices/plants and usually a lot of
other interesting information about the company's history and future plans.
  If you are in a large city like Vancouver, try the main public library
as well. There are some public libraries (in areas with a large desi
population) which carry a number of Indian publications; for instance
the library at Sunnyvale, CA gets Business India as well as a few others.
  So your library doesn't have this. There are other ways out. Many university
libraries in US/Canada do subscribe to at least one major paper like Times
of India. If you keep looking at the job wanted ads you will sooner or later
find the addresses of many major companies, as well as that of the major
headhunters like AF Ferguson. 
  You may find it worthwhile to subscribe to journals like Business India
(which probably has the most ads). A short-term subscription can be got from
US-based distributors like Peekay.
