Slightly off-topic question - Mr. Saravade, were you ever in Bengal? More
specifically, n Howrah district?

 So, I did check out the Silk FB page and a profile or two. I would think
 that there is too much distracting stuff there and would rather stick to
 the text conversations.

 I wouldn't know, I don't use Facebook, so this email was of no relevance
 to me.

I was, indeed. In Howrah, during 1994-96. In Basirhat, Barasat and Barrackpore 
from 1990-94.

 Is there anything that is off-topic on this list? 
 I like the fact that we can talk about cabbages and kings, but are 
 personal questions, or questions addressed to one person, OT? 
 Udhay...any sacred cows? 

Beyond the no ad hominem rule he has and enforces, anything goes as far as
I can see.

I mean I don't see how this is different from setting up dinner dates for
silkmeets or asking for people who are coming over from stateside and can
bring along a kindle or whatever.
