Blind leading the more blind. S Narayanaswamy Iyer KR How perfectly the blind naragal Narayanasamy is leading the Red-dog city Feral G another Blind? WOW. The former as usual do not read anything except one tumbler full with some quotes often made; especially does not read Brian Tracy management books; he cannot distinguish between Berbal BEER_PAL ( beer with unclean teeth) or Narayanasamy. Poor fellows. Let the sleeping dog lie over. Pass on we have work to do. Only Rats and ferals do not.
