Just my 2 cents here. I (and others) have frequent have online battles with C'da and in this net we have always enjoyed these tussles. And we have done this for many. many years. Both Mukul da and C'da are great, upright people in their own rights. They do bring in a lot of spirit, and often view points (that we may overlook, and not always agree) into these lively discussions.
Yes, they do have views that often don't jell with many people - but then you really can't have an argument with people who agree with you, can you? :) --Ram On 5/15/07, vox populi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Jyotirmoy, You are hitting Chandanbabu real hard; where it hurts. CM and MM behaves like paid agents of the Bangladeshis. In whole expanse of lungiwalas, they see no design. It's like closing the eyes to ward off a tiger, thinking, the tiger will not see if they close their eyes. Moreover, I found out, none of both Mr. MM and CM's future generations are going to stay in the independent Oxom, they are inciting our 'burbok' boys to fight for. -VP --- Jyotirmoy Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I believe that Ram has explained the points very > aptly.
