To bear out this story, very many weird stories have been invented. Was this proposed by Kiran K? I would take any theories promoted by Kiran very judiciously indeed; he tends to leap before he looks. You have this tendency to grossly understate. Lukhman.

I second Biju, I believe lots of us have better things to do than calling names, or carrying out ad hominem personal attacks targeted at a single person. -- Bharat On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 8:11 AM, Biju Chacko biju.cha...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 3:18 PM, Indrajit Gupta bonoba...@yahoo.co.in wrote: Was this proposed by Kiran K?

To append the adjective 'Chinese' (or 'Chinees') to this unholy mess is insulting enough. Actually, Suraiya is wrong on at least this front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow_mein Chow mein (chao mian in Mandarin-speaking communities) is a generic Chinese term for a dish of stir-fried noodles, of which there are many varieties.

Re: [silk] Manchurian
Well, to be fair, you smirked when you heard that Tweet was a very lonely man. I found that quite insensitive to Mr. Tweet. I'm not sure if you had even done the same amount of research Mr. Vadakkan had, or had any idea about the pain this Tweet person was going through, but you were being quite high handed there.

Tharoor's got a long career as a senior UN bureaucrat, even making deputy secretary general as kofi annan's protege. Then ran against ban ki moon, lost and left That career would be two or three decades worth of effort, and certainly teaches people to be diplomatic and careful in what they say. Celebrity author status + a mistaken idea that all the twitterati are a lot more flippant than your average bureaucrat didn't help He complains of ridiculously high workloads after his africa trip.. on what's probably the biggest time sink online Way to go, I'd say --Original Message-- From: Lahar Appaiah Sender: silklist-bounces+suresh=hserus@lists.hserus.net To: silklist@lists.hserus.net ReplyTo: silklist@lists.hserus.net Subject: Re: [silk] Manchurian Sent: Sep 25, 2009 23:10 Well, to be fair, you smirked when you heard that Tweet was a very lonely man.
