1. raj:
i salute you!
the examples you gave ashok and the comments were simple and effective.
superb!
 
2.axx:
<<slight modification I would want to make ----- it requires grey 
cells n not necessarily hair (though mostly grey cells are more in 
grey haired ones) to understand the fallacy if the 
indian-english-language-mcaulayite media.
 
- -Axxx>>>
yes i understand what you mean and you must have understood what i meant
too!
but this touched off a train of thought in me.
the grey cells are numbered by  the age of 3. (taher pl correct if i am
wrong )
one does not grow grey cells after that.
what happens is only setting up of newer pathways and relays
 
 
3.Ashok: 
<<I know it's soap. Still thank you for the compliment.>> 
hmmmmm. this is kali yuga. people don't even take a compliment as it is. 
reminds me of " zen and the art of motor cycle maintenance" 
the author sees a welder doing a wonderful job and compliments him on it. 
he replies" that will be one dollar". 
 
<<Is every one a communist? And which part of the message hinted you that I
am one that I am not.>> 
i am afraid i erred here. 
i am not as precise as say mcg in my wittings. 
when i typed the sentence i was thinking of my cousin who said that. 
 
what i meant to write was everyone is a rebel at that age, wants to change
the world, full of "enthu" for the new in thing -rebel cause without giving
it sufficient thought to it or acknowledging there can be another side to it
come to think of it did i actually accuse you of being a communist? 
 
<<Yes, I found it out. I noticed such a thing, but got a confirmation from
nowhere. They never praise any thing good. Then I would request u also to
recommend me some non-communist or more correctly impartial newspapers and
magazines>> 
 
impartial media!!!! 
you are asking for the moon. 
by enlarge the vernacular papers give more correct picture than the english
press. 
but the problem is how is non gujarati one going to read a gujarati paper to
know the going ons in gujarat? 
so ask around. 
that is what is nukkad is for. 
for some thing going on in tamil nadu ask me. 
some news items are printed because not printing it will leave them not 
upto the
mark." so all the papers/magazines publish them.
they will be common in the media. they are a little more trust worthy. 
other wise one is left with no choice except take the reports with a pinch
or bag of salt! 
 
<<| ps: hope you have not opened another pandora's box. :-(( 
 
I don't understand what you mean by that...>> 
if you had followed the nukkad mails you might have noticed that this is an
issue " discussed " at length threadbare and it is a subject that brings up
the emotions to the fore. 
i think practically every one has tired of it or you might have got a lot of
mails in protest, that too not mild ones! 
 
<<Would u pls explain what the subject line in ur letter means? >>
it stands for combined responses or composite response or compressed replies
........
hey nukkies, can you come up with more? seems to have a lot of
possibilities!
 
in mail to karalia:
<,Sorry dear friend, I didn't have any such intention. Did I write any 
anti-Hindu slogans? >>
good to hear that you had no such intentions.
no you didn't write any anti hindu slogans.
but you see you titled it majority.
and th contents left no need for imagination to say that it is supposed to
be said by a member of majority community.
this leaves a lot of room for people to get agitated about, isn't it?
 
<<what I know is that 
taking revenge or killing somebody would in no way help anybody improve the
situation. 
Is it the best 
thing that we can do as responsible citizens? 
I know my 
reaction was based on media reports and not actual facts. But that is what I

have. What to do? >>
i think i commented not long ago on this. have you read that?

............................................................................
........
    lastly it is fine to put down your feelings when stressed on paper or
other media but be careful when you want to make them public.
as raj said you cld have edited before posting.
 
also pl look at 'shal warning in the guidelines to ...
<<Remember that you own your words and that they own you. Communicating
on this list is akin to standing up in front of a large audience and 
making a speech. In fact, it is worse since you can't see them and have no
idea of their reactions. Think about this when you send your next message to
"nukkad".>>
 
and as you know like an arrow released from the bow, words spoken can not be
undone.
