[Assam] Harvard MBA Newsletter: For Mukul-da -- please explain allegations--CORRECTION

Umesh:

If he had compared you with Kavya, that would have been a highly 
undeserved praise; considering many of your recent commentary, 
arguments, perceptiveness, analytical skill, critical thinking 
ability or even the ability to comprehend ordinary English.

Kavya is, without a doubt, far more accomplished in all these areas. 
Her fault was copying without giving credit and the inability to 
'fess up even after getting caught -- a character fault, not a 
deficiency of cognitive skills or abilities.

Mukul-da wrote:

>Only about Harvard.-populated by Kavya-Umesh and now THIS

in response to Dilip's question:

>Does that make a difference in your opinion about George Bush?


	What it meant was that his opinion about George Bush's academic
         credentials and perceptions about his intellectual acumen have
	NOT changed, but that his opinion of HARVARD  has changed.
	.
	Obviously because people such as GWB or Umesh Sharma are alumni
	of its grad. schools while Kavya was a stellar freshman.

	He did not specify what the 'change' was, up or down. I hope I
	don't have to get painfully explicit in explaining that, and will
	leave that up to your imagination.

	None of these involved ANY comparison. He did not compare you with
	Kavya or GWB, or vice versa -- like you read. Either would have
	been grossly inappropriate. Your perception here is a result of
	your inadequate comprehension of this damned foreign language: English!
