Pranam My dear Gopalakrishnan You are atypical andarbulty, trickster ( as u did and got hit back in office) who used to trigger something in between two mighty as you are a squirrel. All the time in between you get crushed; and everytime goes before the dhadha "Oh Maha Prabhu pl see he is hitting me teacher prostrations as buffoon; all knows it; and your close wrote to me to spare you;you commit a lot of error and makes a panel "ity is bound to contain errors'' etc; only squirrels run off ; not the lions; young forward to narayanasamy and send me back front and forth; but I neither care for you and Natrayanaswamy and Sai etc; I treat and respect only those who do so; only you have to render the post of a postman in sending my email to him and back if I had to know-which is your wolfish nature; pl do; I am unlike you; I don't blabber as you do; I am happy if some write up appears with basis than neti neti or saliva licking etc; if one spin a coin head hwe wins and tail I win . So be cautious; become cool; learn and do homework and write; Peach is good but why Peach is my question; English quote is good taken only from here which is abundant here -then why borrow?. You have a max of 20 years and why don't you have a good time. Karma is strong if you believe in what you write. Yesterday I saw a malayalam film: 19 (1) (a) ; there used to be a dialogue; "what one writes shall reflect what one is all ''. You try to be one good at least in the last phase. If you don't want to change , forward this to saliva licking master. Kave fun KR IRS 3822
