Dear Suresh, I will be contacting you from my e-mail, I do not deal with a lot of people, creates a lot of communication overhead, prefer to work with a small team of committed people, as the cost-benefits of such an architecture are very clear to me. If you want to know more about me and the entire range of my plans, we can initiate a dialogue and work on a *least common denominator* that is mutually acceptable to both of us. If you think I do make sense then you can present a case to this group - I do not have a single plan as such, India's problems need a multi-pronged strategy and I have a few dozen varied projects to start with. We need to start firing on all cylinders. There is no silver bullet.
What could be the "possible" advantages of *working* with me? As I mentioned earlier, I'll be going into production mode in Jan 2007 and if you *work* with me or listen to all my *alpha-release* plans (it would require a lot of reading between the lines though!), you will learn about the entire range of India's development and you might become an invaluable resource to this group. Of course, many other people can make such claims, and a lot of them do, in fact, talk to any India, they give a laundry list of problems and solutions, but I exercise my right to disagree with them. Those who believe that they have better understanding than me have to debate with me - which can be initiated easily by sending me a check for $12K. ;) BTW.. Suresh.. do you work at AT&T? Bridgewater? Piscataway? We can meet sometime. But, before that, we'll have to exchange quite a bit of information. Primarily, I'd like to know what your plans are regarding Indian's development such. I can't disclose my entire range of plans or just tell you something that you are not interested in, if I know your *interests*, I'll know which one you might be interested in possibly point out to furthur reading and/or discuss. Do note that I am more interested in your plans than pushing my agenda/plans, I am always willing to listen and we can discuss on the pros and cons of your plans first. If anyone wants to contact me, my email is JP 'DOT' CHILUMULA AT GMAIL. If you have already responsed in this group, please do forward it to me. I will reply at a later point. I will not be reading the messages in this group, I will post some informational messages once in a while to get more brains working on India's problems.

The spirit to help people who need help and make them independent. So how do you think we could use this spirit , the vitality and the energy to do something big and at a much higher level.
