Hi!
I still use my 'china pen' frm school days just because it helps me preserve the writing. Maybe sticking to one particular pen might work :)
cheers

I strongly agree. If a neighboring farm is infested by locusts, how long will my farm remain safe?
That said, it was Pakistan and US that incubated this.

Ah thats impressive Mahendra! When you talk about being born in a battering artistic environment, I sure know what you mean. Ditto about spending money on everything possible! hahaha! Loved your mother's sketch, but more than that I went silent for a while after hearing the tree speak.

Re: 123 Agreement vs. Hyde Act

Both India and the US are known to change their diplomatic stance to suit their needs. I think the current agreement is an arrangement of convenience and is an excellent agreement for the short term.

//Being a homosexual is a criminal offense in India

Dude, slight correction: IPC 377 classifies unnatural sex as a crime. 377 is a 'broad picture' law under which "all carnal intercourse against the order of nature" are banned. That includes oral sex, sodomy, bestiality among others - something that is applicable to heterosexuals as well.
So, (unlike Iran,) being a homosexual is not a crime in India.

I like your Law, it puts in one sentence what I'd take a paragraph to express! India was such open country until some hundred years ago. What went wrong?

//it is like saying Hinduism is legal until and unless you do not go to any temple or perform any pooja.

Ha ha, yes in the practical sense. But this subtleness or (loop)hole in the law is what keeps us (homosexuals) hopeful. I can stand on the street and say I'm gay without being arrested, you know what I mean? :)

PS: If we *are* eventually going to be loaded with another person from the dynasty, my choice would be Priyanka :p
