As usual Gopala wriets: (his ignorance and wants me to clarify his abundant knowledge exposed: gopala krishnan [image: Attachments]16:37 (1 hour ago) to *Iyer*, me Sir, I read else where the once important river Saraswathi which got dried up appear in Rajasthan as partially wet. You have mentioned Saraswathi originate from Pushkar. Are there two Saraswathi rivers? Kindly conform. You have stated Luni is called Sabarmathi in it's origin . I have read Sabarmati Ashram of Gandhiji in Gujarat. Kindly confirm. The sarcastic remarks in the beginning is unwarranted. You would have told it as a response. gopalakrishnan KR Always he will err in english but both will make fun of others as typo is only for them (conform). 2 You have to read a lot before coming to Luny Saraswati our excavations findings etc etc Pl do some homework Do not expect to hold finger and trot around or ask politely ., I have no grievances against any one and feel egoistic as i know what I know is only fistful. So where the tongue glows fire I have to smash in that fire the metal or else , I do not mind doing more explanation. KR IRS 3423
