Pranam Me too a HIT man; as we dont go live in their site , they shall not find a groove around us also. In 1980 when i entered a quarters in a place reluctantly, that evening, in my home in a sporadic vast grounds and empty space all around, there was a swarm of cockroaches flying and sitting around and my kids crying; and next second my broomsticks went tinto operations and after 10 minutes ``all was quiet in the war front; my wife swept all the dead in a murtam and put it out; the neighbor lady who saw the bulk said, Iyayyo, evvalavu karappa?; did u kill all of them?; if cockroach flies you will get a lot of money she said; I laughed. Next week I have to pack up for another station as I was promoted. Is it incidental or coincidental. ? KR IRS 16721
