Another Venky on this list? Reminds me of the time when I worked in a
cubicle farm for Citicorp way back in 1992. When someone shouted Venky,
five heads would pop up :-) You could shout Subbu with the same results.

Welcome to Silk List.

Venky (The original one on this list. I hope.)

Considering this is my first post on this list, I guess some sort of
introduction would be in order - but sorry, I'm terrible at 'em.

Venky.

Oh yeah!  That happens all the time!  I have a slightly more
interesting problem in that if you shout Venky at home, three heads
will pop up - dad, brother and me.  My family is remarkably
unimaginative when it comes to names.


Welcome to Silk List.


Thanks!

Venky, the second.

Talk of unimaginative naming, and I can think of only one thing. Check
out the number of Delhis there are in the USA:

I feel rather stupid, but I haven't been able to understand the meaning.
Irony, I would guess... but about what?

Cheers
