MAAP is. Don't know about BJP being a language. If it is, apologies for my ignorance. However, may I ask the Kokni, Konkani, Concani experts if MHAP is indeed the word in Konkani for Measure. If not - may I ask what all this "MHAP-SA" is all about? besides Revision. Have read TRS' input into the matter. Adds a plausible 'sound' dimension to the discussion. Suggest that the whole messy place be called Tarapur. After all Tara Narayan's article about the eateries in the place ensured that Rajan met his Water-loo. (Water-loo: what an intriguing choice of names when it comes to this place "called" Maapsa, Maapsa, Maapsa!.) Hope all of us have a pleasant and fruitful week ahead jc __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
