While I agree there may be some merit to what you said (above). Umesh's response "> Can something be done about it? " could have been triggered by what you wrote earlier: > "Unfortunately, few second generation 'markhowa' > children or youth or adults find the goings on in > Assam or in India of much interest." The keyword 'unfortunately' could send the message that 'something' ought to be done. If as you say its a 'good thing are children ...', then how can it also be 'unfortunate'. BTW: I think it would be a good thing for our children to take an interest in whats going on back home. > Aren't Indians able to mind their own business? From what I read all the > time, Indians are interested in minding pother peoples' business more than > their own. Are they? Is that a national trait attributable just to Indians, and since Assamese are also Indians for the moment, to the Assamese as well. Thats quite an indictment. :) --Ram > "Unfortunately, few second generation 'markhowa' > children or youth or adults find the goings on in > Assam or in India of much interest." > > Umesh > > Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 10:04 PM +0530 9/1/05, mc mahant wrote: > >How we wish he joins assamnet as active member. > >mm > > > > Recently we had the pleasure of meeting Santanu's > mother, right here in St. Louis, related to Utpal > and Pinkie Goswami and an old classmate of Elly > Baideu..
