Tilok:

I am just going to ignore your swipe at this "miracle" thing, which shows
that you have been having too many dinners at Sondon kaiti's place - are you
getting brain-washed or something? take some 'doctor, heal thyself' therapy.

I wanted to write to you about something else. I was reading today's
'Protidin', i frantically searched the whole article, but could not see your
name even once. Being the leading LAS, you should have been there amongst
the famous 'Injinear' 'daaktor' etc.

Bupa, mur naam-u nedekhilu. Kelei muk ei bosor gaon-r mohila xomitir
Xobhanetri paata kotha-tu xuna naai jaanu? Taaru pori laao-kheti-u gaon-r
bhitorot aamaarei bhaal hoise - xei buli-ei naam-tu sopabo paarile hoy!
Pise` ko'ta, moi ji bhabisu, as you suggested, Sondon-kaaiti was really
jealous of the lao-kheti, and did not "submit" yours and my names for
publication.

Bupa, goru-daaktor hoi laabh naai. 'Injinear' hole` aaji tumar naam
khobora-kaagojot uthi gole` hoy. Ki koba aaru, ei maanuh bilaake` tumaak
etiaao tol-sokure` saai.

Aaji-kaali 'Animal Planet' channel-ot kiba pet-psychic show eta aase. Tumar
naam taatu naai - kiyo, tumi-tu 'kkualiphied', it must be the Dilli gor'ment
who is stopping you from your due publicity.

*** Come on Assam Netters. Use your common sense: even gods need to relieve

BTW, what is 'shivling'? Is it a diminutive form of shiv-lingam?  Just

'Miracle' in Gujarat's Shiva temples

TIMES NEWS NETWORK  [ MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2002 01:30:21 PM ]
AHMEDABAD: A rumour of a miracle has people thronging to Shiva temples
across the state. The stories doing the rounds: People have sighted "Om" on
Shivlings in temples and water was flowing out of them.
The rumours, with references to a similar 'miracle' a few years ago, when
people thought Ganesh idols were drinking milk, are spreading fast.
Crowds thronged Shiva temples at Hatkeshwar, Amraiwadi, Vatva, and
Navrangpura in Ahmedabad, and Karelibaug, Makarpura and other places in
Vadodara.
In Ahmedabad, the crowds got so unwieldy that police reinforcements had to
be rushed to control them.
According to reports, the Somnath temple, which is among the 12
jyotirlingas, was also thrown open and people were seen performing aarti at
the temple, hoping to witness the 'miracle'.
Late on Sunday, policemen, who till then were monitoring the communal
situation, began rushing to Shiva temples in cities all over the state.
Similar reports also came in from other districts of the state, and by
midnight, the state control room was flooded with queries about the
'miracle'.
When a TNN team visited the Samartheshwar Mahadev temple near Law Garden,
the people crowded there were craning their necks to witness the 'miracle'.
But nothing happened.
"I got a call from my relatives in Mumbai that a miracle had happened, and
I came here from Navrangpura," said Mangalaben, a disappointed devotee.
But the maize vendors in Law Garden weren't disappointed. Thanks to the
rumours, business was brisk.
