Who is charging ULFA for
failing to change Assam?.
I think ULFA has already very
successfully changed Assam.
It has brought in the Gun
culture.
It has brought in the Bundh
Culture.
It has damaged the work ethics from
the youth.
It has transformed the
Democracy to Desi Hobo Diok Demokresi.
It has increased and legitimized
corruption.
It has legitimized lack of
accountability.
It has demoralized the people of
Assam.
It has rtuined the atmosphere for
any discussion for Autonomy.
What more change ULFA wants in
Assam?
ULFA should be happy and rejoice at
its success.

The question is WHO asked for the verdict?
Did we feel left out ?
Now for the next round:

The history of ULFA has nothing on
the front cover, none on the back. The inside of the front cover says,
" We want to change Assam" and the inside of the back cover says, "We failed
to change Assam but thank God we leaders made good money while trying. Thank
you all."
*** But WHAT is here other than asserting your own your own
righteousness? I don't know that anyone was questioning that.
Is it not patently ridiculous and ludicrous to charge ULFA with FAILING
to CHANGE Assam, while fighting it tooth and nail, never yielding an inch,
even going to such lengths as attempting to portray Assam's discontent as its
OWN DAMN FAULT, attempting to attribute it to such mindless alibis as LACKING
a WORK ETHIC, or not learning enough CUNNING to deal with Delhi and other such
rubbish?
Come on! Who are you kidding?
*** That must be the words of the
wise! ----
Do you want more words of the wise?
The PCG will coduct about four meetings with GOI with no breakthrough. ULFA
will start more bombing and mortar attacks. PCG will fall apart because the
citizens in Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Nagaon and Guwahati do not care what PCG
says. GOI and ULFA will go their own ways. Assam will again continue its
journey without a travel plan.
*** That is impressive prognostication. No doubt a lot of it is
self-fulfilling
prophecy. But still it is prescience born out of rare intellect, a gift
few others are endowed with.
>Assam will again continue its journey without a travel
plan.
*** What happened to GOI's plan that you recommend Assam go to Cunning
School to try and get a few crumbs from ? And what is YOUR contribution
towards helping it with that travel plan? Or Cunning School is it?
>And do you want to guess what happens when there is no
plan?
*** I don't want to hazard a guess. Why don't you help the clueless with
all the
wisdom set aside for the privileged?
O'm :-)

Sensitivity works both ways.

Dear BK,
Sorry I hurt your feelings again.
But when we forward something with our own commentary
praising or dissing it, we run the risk of being challenged, or proven
wrong or merely ignored, don't we?
I am sure you recognize that. And on that basis, I am
surprised that you took my criticism of the piece
personally.
But you could have had the last word, if you only showed
how and where my criticisms of the piece were wrong, uncalled for,
improperly understood or misplaced however else.
Many of our fellow netters charge me with all kinds of
things when they are displeased with my analyses or commentary, but
never bother to take the simple route of pointing out how or where I
am wron! g. It baffles me. May be you can explain why that is so,
since you too are doing the same thing. Shall we ?

*** I did? I don't know ! BK, I must be losing my mind. I
re-read what I wrote, but could not find anything akin to what you
attribute to me that would qualify
as :--attacked
me personally and gratuitously too", assuming that I understand
simple English. Maybe that is where the problem is again, what? My
inabil! ity to read and comprehend ordinary English perhaps
:-)?
>(Chandan at first regarded the piece to be a copy

*** I did? You sure could have fooled me! But
something tells me you are mixing up various instances of displeasures
I must have caused you time to time, that has been doing a slow burn
on you. The perfect antidote for this condition! , as I have
reminded many a victim of my acerbic criticisms and analytical
missiles,in the past is to rebut them. Show why and how I was wrong.
No better way to shut me up BK. Trust me, feeding me crow is the way
to go ( now you made the bondha-kobi in me acting up too).
>When I

*** Now you tell us! BK, why do you forget that you are
communicating with a bunch of xaak-khowa, bhat-khowa Kharkhowas who
have a hard enough time understanding ordinary English, let alone
them higher level stuff like journalistic nuances?
I am of course dying to learn what 'journalistic object!
ivity' might be, since it is not the garden variety to be found in
English dictionaries as you NOW tell us. But do please point out
where the trick-stuff is when you post a ! piece, lest it goes
right over my head again.
>Do we
realise that we, the Americans, the British and many
others pay for the Palestinian side of the
war?
*** Somehow, I had the idea that it was so BK. But now
that you point it out clearly, would you also be kind enough to
share your thoughts on WHY the USA or Britain or Europe kept
pumping money to Arafat and Fatah, knowing full well, that a lot of
it was being siphoned off by Arafat and his cronies? Could it
be that the West did so as long as it was expedient to do so? Or
could it be that they somehow wised up to that little fact one fine
morning recently? Like in helping build the Taliban in Afghanistan,!
never having an inkling on what they were creating?

PS: You must not take these things personally BK. Life
is too short for that.

(Chandan

When I said something had been
objectively reported, it did not carry the meaning of
'objective' as given in the dictionary or by stretches of
one's imagination whatever it might be. Objective reporting has
a style of its own. More or less the piece has tha! t. I would
be very glad to provide specimen of such reporting in my next
e-mail. It would be very interesting, I can assure
Chandan.
The
Israeli-Palestine conflict has been long drawn out, a great many
people were killed, innocent as well insurgents and combatants
and the issue is no longer confined to the boundaries
surrounding Israel and Palestine.
Do we
realise that we, the Americans, the British and many
others pay for the Palestinian side of the war?
Former President Yasser Arafat died a rich man. I often wondered
how an insurgency leader could amass a fortune? Now I know. His
daily life resembled that of a Middle Eastern Prince,
travelling the world every now and then and holding parleys with
those who mattered.
In a
nutshell the story could be read in yesterdays's
(28.01.06) The Times.(Hamas stands it ground as West
demands change) www.timesonline.co.uk/newspapers/0,,175-2013596,00html/ I am not
reproducing it as the article should be read with the entire
dossier, I mean the background
information.
