Raiz,
Thank you all for your intensely interesting replies. I knew my mail would bring out some strong feelings, and that being done� I would like to say sorry for calling you names. If possible please do forgive me.
CM�da � �More so when you hide behind a pseudonym� � I do, and I plan to do that because it allows me to stoop to all the lows and rise to all the highs I need to get to, without being bogged down by my heritage or �real name�. I hear even Monroe had to change her name to become famous! �Just don't act like some punk
of a coward slinging mud from behind a wall� � how is that? Given the fact that I am not in St.Louis, do I know that your real name is CM, or do I have to believe that you are who you are because a handful of people here claims you are? Not hiding man; simply enjoying a new name and sharing my thoughts. Finally, its good to know that you enjoy Chatu-guri as much as I do�and have Rajneesh�s influence in your life.
Ms. S � �Why are you in this NRI adda anyway, you seem to dislike them! or are =
you suffering from some sour grape syndrome?� I don�t dislike NRIs, I just enjoy their perception of life � you wouldn�t be driving from Mongoldoi to Guwahati today..or would you? So you don�t know s�t about how hard it is to hear your justification on how great is the Indian empire. �we face this kind of seasonal nuisance every now and then and we just go on and brush such nonsense into oblivion� � yes, you can drive me into oblivion, and you can decide to drive Assam into oblivion, and stick with visiting south India during your semi-decadal visits to Asia.
�Fools paradise� (contributed by KJD) that�s exactly where you are. I am so sure that if I were to make once in three years trips to Assam, and enjoy the comfort of a first world country in my day-to-day life, beyond the empathy that I feel for my fellow countrymen/women, I would only be able to see the not so far off good future arising for them. No sir/madam, nothing great is in store for Assam. That�s because nobody gives a s�t. The other day I was on a train journey from Delhi to Guwahati, and by total co-incidence happened to meet a very senior political officer from Meghalaya � Kyndhia. This man has represented India in United Nations, been governor of Mizoram and has been a very senior politician for over 30 years. So I ask him, dude what will it take to get the north east back on its foot, to get all the kids out of the jungle and into living a decent life? And he says �my advise to you � make hay while the sun shines�. He has no vision of a future for north east (no fools paradise or NRI paradise) � simply no vision. He thinks that the best I should do is be a contractor and make some money working with the states whose economies have not yet crashed (like Auranachal or Meghalaya).
Anyway, to get back to KJD�s discussion on post-1947 India and its achievements: Every communication system that�s in place was put in place by the Brits, and none has been maintained � it takes 12 hours to travel 500 kilometers!! There are more rebel armies now than there were when the Brits were around � because the Brits were not as serious in implementing their dracodian laws as the Indians are: incase you don�t know KJD � the Indians have changed very little of the laws that they themselves fought against the Brits for. Do you know that I can�t legally have more than 50 bullets per year to defend myself using my handgun? The average rebel/army guy has 50 round in one of their clips�and according to the old outdoors magazines that make their way to Assam, it takes atleast 5000 shots to set ones aim on a gun � I haven�t shot that many shots all my life (6 years as a gun owner)!!!
KJD � sorry for screwing up your mind man. You and your buddies can have a great day ahead discussing how great is India�as far as paradise goes � only you and I know what life is in paradise (US) and who lives in Assam (post 1947). And I will not call you name anymore, but stop screaming and swearing like a kid too..of what I hear, you are my dad�s age.
