[silk] YAII

That stands for Yet Another Introduction Introduction, like YACC (for
those who've studied compilers).

I am a few messages old on the list as a reader (a cousin of mine had
recommended it to me), and had conveniently forgotten to intro myself.
So, here I am - grew up in Chennai, grew out of it, spent an eventful
10 years in IT as Technologist-Analyst-Manager-Consultant-etc and now
contemplating doing something else. Like teaching. In London now.
Could return to Adyar or Thiruvanmiyur.

Cheers

Dinesh

 I have been trying out indiaplaza for a while now. While not generally
 bad (they can sure improve their packaging *and* their website) the only
 gripe I have had against them is the general lack of communication if
 shipment is going to be delayed

  So..here's YAW (Yet Another Welcome).
 
  Why Dinesh underscore Madras  and not the pc Dinesh underscore Chennai?
 
  Deepa.
 

so i say... between one fishing hamlet and the other, just a few 10s
of kms north or south - guess Chennai sounds more Tamil. dont know the
answer to your qn Deepa. maybe I just like the word Madras and didnt
approve of the for-no-sensible-reason name change, like Bangalore to
Bengaluru
