Pranam 1 Many questions my electrician, sub registrar office clerk, my neighbor's son who is a spendthrift on many 500, Kerala Ayurvedam on coconut, Lodge owner on water, highway pandal restaurants, Agriculturist on Rice, City blogger AARATH about city life, Pusari for driving away ghosts, Darwin Institute the University of Madras on Jaguar, school children on compass, and finally JAMBA JUICE apart from other while colored which is unknown in India (??) are all capable of answering the ORIGINAL QUESTIONS with the ORIGINAL WRITING. Sorry it is just 4 lines expanded to 400 lines. KR IRS 91021
