Tilok Daktor, I am sure, would give Rajib's opinions a fair
hearing, should he take a few moments of his time to
explain:

**** How does Rajib conclude that the substance of Dr.
Hatimuriya's analysis is akin to horse manure? Merely because the good
Daktor lives and practices his profession from the High Ozarks?
That could be an understandable response from some, well, um, how
to say it politely now --- how about a 'know-nothing hill-billy' --,
but from a high-ranking soldier of the 21st Century desi-knwledge
brigade? Doesn't seem right. In fact it is down-right
disappointing.
But I hope Netters would understand. It is not Rajib's fault. He
might be one of those, ( I am NOT trying to practice LAS-ology without
a license here now--just offering a lay-man's speculation) with those
turned off receptors. Why else would anyone judge a professional
opinion on the basis of where they reside, or the pedigree of the
educational institution where they trained, or their or caste
or their creed, if you catch my drift? Next thing you will see will be
another mutant taking issue with Tilok's diagnosis just because he is
a graduate of Bhetnari Kollez, Khonapara.
Of course the uninitiated would attribute these unenviable
conditions to one's desi upbringing. The truth, must lie, as the
Hatimuria explained, on those turned off receptors. It could not
be a hereditary condition.

**** Yeah, yeah, yeah! Sure, California is a good place to see IT
entrepreneurs.
But only if we could take a few hundred highly successful IT
entrepreneurs example from California to make a case for 'desh', the
whole field of statistics would turned on its head.
Dr. Tilok, I am sure, would recognize that there have been some
improvements in the enterprising environment here and there, like in
Mumbai, or Bangalore ( when everything else fails, cite B'lore), or
Guwahati even again the same problem arises--the percentage
factor ( darn that concept of decimals wreaking havoc here again).I
hear even B'lore reels under power shedding, even in this day and age,
doesn't it? But it still does not, in any way, shape or form,
debunk or refute the fundamentals of the good doctor's
explanations.
However, Tilok, the scientist he is, I am sure, will like to see
the field of statistics be revolutionized by the 21st Century Desi
Knowledge Brigade, and usher in an era of legitimizing making broad
conclusions on the basis of tiny sampling. Imagine how BJP and its
India Shining blitz would have kept on spreading, or Chandrababu
Naidu's fortunes would not have bitten the dust, along with his
many devotees of Assam Net?

**** That, I am sure, would be an opportunity Tilok would not
want to miss. He already explained how he gets teary eyed at such
desi-accomplishments as Premzi's wealth, raising the per capita wealth
of that half-billion or more of desis still looking for two square
meals a day.
But that is my take. I hope some day, the good daktor from the
High Ozarks would be able to come down from his aerie and explain
things in his own words.
