Very well said Alpana.

Incidentally, that whine about 'unwanted-e-mails' 
in her mail-box is exactly what we would call an 
attempt at 'urohor-khong-bhoga-dhaarit-xaara', 
Unfortunately Momy won't be able to understand 
what it means :-).

>>Please do not spam my mailbox with your perceptions and opinions.
