I'll be....... Oh hi JPR: Sorry for the delay with the response I got busy over at the Dell thread,so where have you been.Yeah you are right looks like thin is in and fat is out. Now here is an interesting article I ran in to in case you haven't seen it. I did read it,will later though. ============================= Global Indians bring home anger, frustration, deep emotions and promises of investment Amberish K Diwanji in New Delhi The floor was thrown open to non-resident Indians to "share their experiences" about investing in India at the Global Indian Entrepreneur Conference in New Delhi. It opened up the floodgates and saw an outpouring of anger, frustration and deep emotions from the NRIs, who desperately want to do something for their motherland, and find that instead of being welcomed, they have to go through reams of red tape and corrupt officials at all levels! An NRI began his epic saga of how he and a few other NRIs were shortchanged by the Karnataka state government way back in the 1980s. "The Karnataka government under the then chief minister Ramakrishna Hegde (coincidentally, now Union minister for commerce) asked me to set up an independent power project. I collected fellow NRIs and Rs 1 billion in New Jersey, and then the Karnataka officials went to New York and gave the entire project to someone else!" he said, still incredulous after all these years. "Now what do I do with my money? How can the Indian government expect us to invest in the country in expensive power projects when there is no sense of accountability?" However, there was a touch of good news too. Union Power Minister P R Kumaramangalam was scheduled to meet this distraught NRI. So maybe he will still get the chance to pay back his motherland. ....... rediff.com

Oxford Mail-'Our Golden Girl'- Roopa Unnikrishnan. JPR: Here is something interesting form your home-state.After reading it I was thinking to myself:'Man, what a bunch of goddamned jerks', don't even know how to treat a 'shooting star' of our own. Kudos to Roopa and screw the clueless dimwits. 'Roopa Unnikrishnan is back from Oxford. That is where she rushed off to collect her degree after winning a shooting gold in the Commonwealth Games. And when she returned she was hurt by the indifference of the media and the people here. But Roopa wanted to be portrayed as positive and content. Excerpts from a chat Shobha Warrier had with the shooting star:.... ------------------------------------------ Shoba Warrier:Even though India did not treat you well, even though Indians do not treat you well, you would like to represent India? Roopa: Call me a fool, if you will. That is how it is. members.rediff.com members.rediff.com

KALIDAS VEDIC INDIA. (New history site) JPR: Here is a new site which might of interest to you and the thread. ============================================================== Courtesy:BangaloreMag.com A website on History by a Bangalorean Good news for history lovers. Leading scholar Navratna S. Rajaram from Bangalore has set up a website dedicated entirely on his research in the vedas. The site carries some interesting information. His latest revelation is that the Harappan seals indicate a link between Harappan archeaology and vedic literature. Rajaram also establishes that Harappan civilisation was built by the vedic Aryans of the Saraswati heartland. This he proved by deciphering the Indus script. Rajaram is also coming up with a book on his findings titled "The Deciphered Indus Script". The book contains over 500 texts with vedic references and explanations. Dr. Rajaram does not agree with the thesis of another scholar M.V. Krishna Rao who said that Rama was born in present Haryana and not Ayodhya. Whatever the case, the fact is Rajaram's website is hot with netizens as his website already has several thousand hits to its credit. Those interested can log on..' vedickalidas.home.ml.org
