Rehman,
The point is why you want to share your pain in this list? If you think you
were discriminated against, there are legal remedies for that. Every body
has a story to tell about their jobs and wives and girl friends. This list
is not the place for that. There are other discussion forums created for
that kinda catharsis. If your inner child wanted to hear few words of
sympathies, here you go "awwww such a poor kid".
Please don't mention where you are from because it is embarrassing for me.
Thanks.
shuaib
