Hello Deka:
*** What on earth is THIS all about? Is it something to do with your assurance to your friend in need--Tapan Kalita, that you will be dealing with me in due time or something to that effect? >mf bYas; mf es bYas; neh mf es bYas >kamrupi khanda-baakya - implies >i am the EXPART; >me that EXPART (not you); >no i am that EXPART (none of you) *** What does this mean ? Is it a bit of wisdom analyzed in 'kamrupi' bhaxa? I sure could not make any head or tail of it. I doubt few, if anybody else, in assam net did either. Would you like to try and re-write it in a bit more intelligible way? If you do, don't forget to put it in the perspective of a context, of something that I might have said or written, if you are attempting to connect *me* with the statements *you* are attributing to me. At any event, WHY this fixation on my persona? Am I that interesting a subject? Don't get me wrong--I am not going to bad mouth you if you are fascinated about me. That would be cool. You are welcome to dwell on the subject as long as you wish. I just did not think I deserve that kind of attention. That's all. >i recall Mahanta, you are a self declared debating expert in assam-net. >show us >some good practical impact of your expertise. we have less than >two months to >go. you have recently demonstrated your skills bringing >personal communiqu� to >assam-net. *** I never DECLARED myself to be a "debating expert in assam-net" as far as I can tell. Or for that matter to be an "expert" on anything. Is it something you have in your archives? Or did you just make it up? >what a tactful art! >as opposed to your trumpeted theory what not to post in assam-net ... >great! *** Say what? I didn't get this either. >look forward to see some practical impact of skills set! *** Huh? >kind regards, >rabin *** This I understand. Thanks for expressing your regards. Very nice of you.
