In Assamese we say:
"NASIIBO NEZANAE-- SWOTAL KHON BENKAA--"
He won't learn. I told him in black and white " Liberate us-- and we liberate
You"
Now more than ever before.
But common sense is not all that common!
The people deserve the Government they elect!

Thanks to his advice I avoided hitting anyone and getting hit by anyone (except
once when in Bhopal [ I had recently met a girl at Bhopal, and was day dreaming
on an empty road on a Sunday while driving my Yamaha RXG 135 - then India's
fastest pickup bike,] and a guy talking to a woman sitting behind him twisted
his scooter's handle and just came into the opposite lane and hit me. He was
knocked out. I limped some distance to the bike mechanic's place. Limped for a
month. The bike's leg guards saved my leg - the footrest and the brake's
section was a mangled mass). That was my fault. > > Why was I driving so slow?
Had I been faster I could have accelerated and and avoided the scooter, like I
once did in Delhi empty ridge road , when a car from the opposite lane, bumped
across the divider and came charging like a tank at me. I accelerated my then
Black Enfield Bullet bike, and escaped .> > > Why was I day dreaming? It is
immaterial that that guy was totally at fault (all passersby sympathesized with
me). > > It seems Indian PM, despite his excellent economy-driver skills is
day-dreaming about some forbidden romance. Or perhaps like the time when I
was trying to get a teaching job in the US (while in India Jan 5, 2003) mind
was filled with too many angles and issues and just bumped on the cold severe
winter road (must be below freezing - with wind chill) at midnight. Maybe he
has too many things on his mind - like the nuclear deal - which is no use for
the Indian economy, is it?> > Umesh> > PS: Was it a coincidence that the Bhopal
girl started limping a week after I did, her Kinetic Honda scooter skidded
while she tried to avoid a dog on the road. Who was to blame? :-)> > --- On
