Hi Rajenda, Ajantaba, Chandanda.... The name "Sankaradeva Bhawan" was decided much before "x" or "s" regime, and hence cannot be changed now by myself. We have added the word "Srimanta" on the advise of Mr. Vinod Kumar Pipersenia, an IAS officer belonging to Assam cadre. His argument was-if we ourselves donot add honorific to our great persons, who else would!
Regarding bearing the cost of shipping from US, I don't know "whether it will be kerelatkoi gutee dighol..:)". We shall be obliged if the books are sent on CIF basis. There will be clear credit given to the donor. Alternatively one can donate in foreign currency. We have FCRA clearance and an account with State Bank of India dedicated for the purpose.
MM'da-next time you come for talks, welcome to stay in our "raizor" building. You can have a glimpse of the building at www.assamassociation.org"- it has since improved a lot. We have 10 rooms and three dormitories [26 seats {20 men & 6 women}]. Donations of Rs. 1200/- , Rs 800/-, Rs. 500/- (non AC) are accepted towards our Trust for using the facility. Dormitory charge is Rs. 100/- per bunk bed.
Cheers to all!
Manoj

Full agreement here from Yours Truly.
Xomujjwal shouted once in frustration " Oxomot Buddhijibi Naaai"
If there are ,they ought to be branded Buddhi-Ahaari , like Trinobhwozi.
They live on little tricks and somehow survive. Like Himself.
We have to create a new breed of Thinkers and Original writers in free Oxom. Shakespeares, Xongkordeus, Mozarts,Rembrandts,VanGoghs....
Trouble is- nobody reads any more, composes any more--.They are fed packages of predigested Fast Food .
And Yellow Journalism headlines. Letters to Editor!! Editorials !! Statistics.
Where are the Patrons of Creativity and KULTUR?
Yet Manoj Tries. Let us help him.

Thanks and well noted!!My comments are however not supposed to reflect anyway on Monoj and others who are working hard to establish the Xongkordew Bhowon in Delhi.My comments are mainly towards the Oxom Xahityo Xobha and the Asamese literary intellengtia (whatever left of them) who has failed to guide the common Assamese people.Monoj:Regarding Book Donation, many people from here would like to donate books from here if someone can arrange the shipping by ses. Also you need to specify what type of books you need. I don't think you would like to receive technical books.RB----- Original Message -----From: Chan MahantaSent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 1:04 PMSubject: Re: [Assam] Appeal for donation of books to Assam Association, Delhi libraryAt 12:47 PM -0500 9/2/06, Rajen & Ajanta Barua wrote:Srimanta Sankaradeva Bhawan*** Aw c'mon Rajen. Oxomiya pronunciations are not legitimate enough. That is why. Didn't you know? Why do you think Assam's standard bearers, such as the AT, translates Oxomiya sounds to Sanskrit ones first, before they transliterate them. And sounds they are unable to,easily, that is, for example the 'xo' sound so unique to the Assamese language, they either floow the Bengali or the Hindi equivalents, no doubt because those are MORE legitimate than Oxomiya sounds.Is that so hard to process, really?Give our good friends Manoj or Mohan a break, would ya? When have we ever pronounced Xonkordeu as Xonkordeu. That is for illiterate 'gaonlia' types. The Oxomiya literati does it the way literate people ought to: as Sankardeva!Subserviently yours,sondon
