From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [silk] Oh. Hi there. To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 15 April, 2009, 2:18 AM To Whom It May Concern: I am Pranesh Prakash, son of Shri Prakash and Smt. Geetha, resident of Bengaluru (they being residents of Chennai), citizen of the Republic of India (Bharatiya Ganarajya), working in a policy-cum-research organization by day and moonlighting as a lurker on various mailing lists. Kiran's post entrapped me. I can't play any musical instruments, and I sing very badly. But I sing still, and air drum from time to time. For many years an institution tried very hard to make me into an advocate, but I emerged as "a lawyer by training". Apart from air drumming, air hockey catches my fancy. I am only so-so at Foosball (TM). I sometimes exhibit a preternatural attraction to technological doodads. I love listening to music, but do not own a portable music player. Jazz and classic rock are perennial favourites, but the truth be told, pretty much anything goes (from eighties' golden age hip hop to carnatic to isicathamiya to oldies pop to anti-folk). Often, I feel I love my HDDs more than most my other material (or is it immaterial?) possessions. I prefer working in plaintext whenever possible, and exhibit a strange dislike of OpenOffice.org. I find strange satisfaction in interjecting hackneyed web memes into conversations. And I am fascinated by people who engage in wordplay. That's more "I's" than I've used in a long while. Also, I hate the Times of India policy of using lowercase i's. That is not to say I like the Times of India otherwise. I hope for a speedy and favourable response. Yours faithfully, Pranesh Prakash =============================================================== Dear Pranesh, I remember you as the gate-keeper for FKBK. Thank you for letting me onto the mailing list. As for the rest, it is recommended that you take off your shoes, hold onto the seat in front, or the person next to you, and brace for impact. Sometimes the impact occurs after a slight interval, perhaps ten years, so carry magazines and packets of chips. It all depends on the volume of list traffic at the moment of infiltration. Please do not hold your breath for the entire duration until impact. It can have repercussions on you, your breath and on the duration. Good luck. Good luck.
