[Assam] Wow! Look at This

Sat Feb 21 16:21:03 PST 2009

He He He C-da,

It is very funny. You think that Harvard professors are less qualified that rural teachers in India. (I said that the kid is fit to become a Harvard professor - is that a compliment? perhaps.) Just read what I wrote - further, you stay in St Louis, Missouri , where Monsanto is based. What do you have to say about Monsanto style farming?

**** Is that why you think Dilip made the  comments  he did?

I like to think that you should be able to do a whole lot better than 
that EVEN without that Harvard MEd degree.  Give it a try. It won't 
hurt-really.

And if you can't or won't, it would just re-inforce  Ram's
assessment.

Why give Harvard  a bad name? You have a responsibility here you know?

Think about it.

c-da
