kinu 'analysis' tu korila, Bupa? jealous! what is there to be jealous about, hoyne? Xishyo-i Guru-t koi paargot (not that I am paargot or anything, definitely) hole` guru-e` bhaal-he paai! Tumi ki dond-khorial ekhon logabo khuisa neki baaru?

He was being ver > coy, I sensed. Yes, you may be right - some of them were hard, but was not inedible! We still had 'bura laon-r torkari' with great plesure and they tasted pretty well. Many of our friends also tasted and liked it, so don't spread rumors around now saying we are no 'good farmers', and do not know when to harvest a lao. But it is surprising that Sondon-da also said the same thing - that the laos were 'burha'. I think you all think in the same direction, and you say, y'all aren't related? Of course, I agree, you are not, but need to learn to be coy. :) > desi-daktors back in India who get kickbacks for every patient referral, > every lab test done, more so if done in vain. Oh, you know about the desi-daktors? You must have been talking to those Anti-Indians - but don't get influenced and start being biased and conveniently/blindly put the blame on them Indians, even when the fault is not theirs (not always, that is!). Thats an old mother's blind love - protecting her child even when she knows s/he is wrong! > well know. It is our religion that taught us such noble virtues. Are you > badmouthing such values?

Maybe it is > time for a session with me. Bulu Bupa, kotha ghuraaisa kelei, hoyne? When did I ask you to devalue these values? Just have an equal heart for ALL of them who are poor and persecuted equally. Open your eyes, think, and you will see: in certain parts in India, categorically some from the majority are being tortured, burnt to death, persecuted, and are mercilessly. don't they deserve to live with honor as well, even though in some corner of the country, some of that community are stronger than anybody, or even are "rulers"? > what is ignoble, what is base? Tsk, tsk, Baideu--you worry me! Maybe it is > time for a session with me. I thought your sessions are only with the gorus. why are you asking me, are you taking to calling names as well, indirectly, and that too, to elders? :) > Yes, yes, indeed. The poor majority!

I There you go! Be sincere about it, you will see it.

You know what I mean? wow! you are a loner, aren't you? thats not bad! you mean you all are not related? its strange y'll think alike, when it comes to India, isn't it? I am glad you didn't choose to go to an Indian Bhetnary college and graduated from Khanapara - those Indian schools, what can they teach, isn't it? You do what you say, I am proud that I even know you and you think of me as a (gaon-r holeo) baiti. > have said it out loud like this.It can incite our elders to a frenzy you > know?

Thinking of being able to be rude as being smart - thats what makes me irritated, especially when people have different opinions than them. I don't know about the surface war, want to 'splain a little more? > I'll let you go . Don't forget to schedule a whole-head exam. during the I won't forget - I will have my head examined-the minute I realize that I have become as biased as you are.
