Mohan,

Paz used to live in my apartment building in Cambridge (Mass) in '77-79. There was no elevator, and I can distinctly remember him coming up the stairs with a pile of books and groceries. I am ashamed to say I was too focused on my studies of India and economic development to read his books or catch his guest lectures. I'll look at "In Light of India". I have never heard of it or knew that we shared a common fascination with the country.

Sam

NEW DELHI, March 17 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp's (Nasdaq:MSFT - news)
Indian unit said on Wednesday it had signed an agreement with the
northwestern state of Rajasthan to develop infrastructure for information
technology and build skills.

The agrement involves the setting up of a training centre for skills related to
Microsoft products, computerisation of government departments, and joint development of an information

''A solid technology infrastructure can play a significant role in helping our government to deliver a
comprehensive set of services to our people, support business growth and attract outside investments,'' a
statement quoted state chief minister Ashok Gehlot as saying.
