Well when you visit india .. pls do not expect to see elephants on every
turn. There are as many elephants on the streets as there are gunslinging
cowboys on the streets :P

cheaper.  :))

Seriously guys .. i got a cust who actually asked me .. "Jow Many Elephants
Did you See today? " (Was working in Dell support that time :P)
